septic system efficiency hacks

Here are some potential hacks for improving septic system efficiency:

A person is washing their hands in a bathroom sink.


  1. Regularly add high-quality septic treatment products to help break down waste and maintain healthy bacteria levels.


   2. Use a drain strainer to prevent food, hair, and other debris from entering the drain and potentially causing clogs.


   3. Limit the use of harsh chemicals and cleaners that can kill beneficial bacteria in the septic tank.


   4. Use efficient water fixtures and appliances to reduce the amount of water going into the system.


   5. Install a riser to make accessing the septic tank for maintenance easier and more convenient.


   6. Consider using natural solutions like baking soda, vinegar, or even yeast to help keep the septic system functioning properly.


   7. Plant grass or other vegetation over the drainfield to help promote natural filtration of wastewater.


   8. Avoid using the garbage disposal and instead compost food waste or dispose of it in the trash.
