WINTER MAINTENANCE TIPS FOR HOMES WITH SEPTIC TANK

Septic Connection LLC

WINTER MAINTENANCE TIPS FOR HOMES WITH SEPTIC TANK Have your septic tank pumped prior to the winter season to eliminate all waste that might freeze during winter. Septic tank pumping provides extra room in the tank, which comes in handy if your septic tank freezes. If you need septic tank pumping, call Septic Connection to help you out.

WINTERIZE ALL THE PIPES

Winterizing involves draining all the water from the pipes to minimize the risk of freezing. To winterize your pipes, turn off the main water valve and open all taps and drain valves. Leave the taps open throughout the winter season.

PROVIDE AN INSULATING COVER

Your septic tank needs a protective cover to trap the heat inside the tank, so it doesn't freeze. Place a 12-inch layer of mulch material or an insulating blanket to insulate the tank. Aside from preventing freezing, proper insulation protects anaerobic bacteria in your septic tank.

Act Quickly If Freezing Occurs If your septic tank freezes during winter, call a septic company to fix the problem as soon as possible. At Septic Connection, we provide septic pumping, septic inspection, septic cleaning, septic repair, and more.
