Your septic system is your own personal wastewater treatment plant that collects and disperses all household wastewater generated from places like bathrooms, kitchen drains and laundry.
An important part of your septic system is in the septic tank, where all the solids and liquids that flow out of your house, lland into your septic tank. These solids break down over time due to types of bacteria and other microorganisms. These little guys work hard to keep your system healthy and it is important to keep them in mind when things go down your drain.
A good rule of thumb is that any excessive use of toilet paper or a large occupancy of the home which puts a large load on your system will most often result in more frequent pumping and septic services than what is normally expected.
Rental type properties such as Air BnB’s that have very large groups of people for extended periods of time can be known to need frequent pumping and septic services, some of them as soon as every 3 – 6 months, depending on the design of the septic system.
