For informational purposes only. AJSD does not service septic systems.

DID YOU KNOW...🚽 Septic System Care Starts With You! 🏡

A properly maintained septic system can last for decades and help prevent costly repairs.

Here are a few simple tips to help keep your septic system working properly:
✅ Pump your septic tank regularly
✅ Conserve water and fix leaks promptly
✅ Only flush the 3 Ps: P*e, P**p, and Toilet Paper
✅ Keep grease, fats, oils, wipes, and chemicals out of drains
✅ Protect your drain field from vehicles, structures, and tree roots
✅ Watch for warning signs such as slow drains, odors, or wet spots in the yard.

Remember: No additive can replace routine pumping and maintenance.

A little prevention today can help avoid expensive repairs tomorrow!
