During the holidays, many families gather from all around the country to share special occasions together. If you’re hosting a gathering which will be attended by several extended family members, you will need to prepare for extra people in your home. This includes the extra stress put on your septic system, not just finding enough beds and extra linens. Nothing can ruin a holiday quicker than having a house full of guests when your septic system fails, so now is the time to prepare your septic for the heavy use in the months ahead.

Schedule A Septic Inspection

Prevention is always the best option when it comes to septic systems. Once there is a problem, it can be extremely costly and very inconvenient, especially during the holidays. To ensure your system is ready for the holiday season, schedule a septic tank inspection. Your local septic service company can check:

–        Your septic tank level. If your tank is approaching a level which indicates time for pumping, it’s best to have it done now, before you have extra guests adding to the tank. Your service professional will check the level in your tank as part of the inspection.

–        Your drainfield. Your drainfield is an intricate part of your septic system. If it’s not working correctly, it can cause an entire system failure, the last thing you want to happen when you have guests.

–        Bacteria balance. As part of the inspection, most professionals will check to make your bacteria levels are correctly balanced and waste is being processed adequately. With high usage on the horizon, you want your septic system ready to handle more waste than usual.

By scheduling preventive maintenance and any necessary repairs now, you can more easily avoid having any septic issues during the busy holiday season. It’s worth the peace of mind to know your septic will be ready for them once your guests begin to arrive.
