Pro Tip

Is your drain field overloaded, and pooling above ground? Sometimes the overloaded drain field can recover if a strict policy of water conservation is observed by the homeowner. If the soil around the piping or chambers is allowed to dry out, it may be able to function properly once again. This method requires a good deal of homeowner commitment for septic systems in Rosholt. It usually takes at least a 30% reduction in water use to allow the drain field to recover.

Protecting Your Septic Systems In Rosholt, WI.

Following these simple guidelines and procedures can help your septic systems in Rosholt to recycle waste water properly and have a long life:

• Practice water conservation, fix leaks and drips, and install low-flow fixtures when replacing old plumbing.
• Do not overload the system. Early morning and bedtime are peak water use times. Run dishwashers and washing machines at other times of the day. Do not do all of the laundry in one day.
• Do not dispose of the following into a septic system: coarse organic matter, vegetable trimmings, coffee grounds, cigarette butts, tampons, diapers, condoms, baby wipes, etc. These will clog the septic tank with sludge and will require more frequent tank pumping. Use of a garbage disposal may shorten a drain field life. Home composting is an excellent alternative.
• Fats and grease – cooking oil, bacon grease, etc., will bypass the tank baffles and clog the drain field.
• Chemicals such as pesticides, disinfectants, motor oil, acids, medicines, paint and paint thinners, etc. will kill the good bacteria that decomposes organic matter in the tank, and cause increased sludge build up. This septic tank will become filled with high strength waste water and create anaerobic conditions in the drain field causing a Bio mat, or clogged soil.
• Avoid compacting the soil over the drain field area. Compaction may decrease the soil loading rate causing the waste water to pond on the ground surface. Do not drive vehicles or build structures over either the septic tank or drain field. These activities may cause cracks in the piping or tanks.
• Do not plant deep rooted trees or shrubs over the drain field. Deep rooted water loving plant species have roots that will plug pipes and fill tarred joints in the septic tank. These roots cause physical damage and plug the drain field.
