A commercial septic system requires more maintenance than a typical residential system. Higher use and less control of what enters your business’ septic system makes it more likely that the tank will fill quickly and have other issues. A septic backup or failure can have a large impact on your business, so maintaining a functioning system is crucial. Here are a few tips to keep your commercial septic system functioning at its best:
- Educate your employees. Although you may not be able to stop customers from putting the wrong items down the toilet, you can educate your employees. Explain to your team that keeping chemicals, paint and solid waste out of your system is essential.
- Outlet baffle filters. If you don’t have an outlet baffle filter, talk to your local commercial septic service company about having one installed. This can reduce solids from entering your pump tank or drainfield that can cause failure.
- Repair leaks. If you have faucets or toilets that are leaking, this adds to the stress on your septic system. Make sure to have all plumbing issues repaired as soon as possible.
- Easy access to your septic system. If you do have a septic problem, you want the professionals to be able to quickly resolve the issue. Make sure your tank cover is accessible, as well as your septic system. Many businesses use access risers to make it easy to repair and maintain their septic system.
Most importantly, make sure you schedule regular professional inspections and service for your commercial septic system. This can help identify any issues before they cause a backed up system or failure that can negatively affect your business.
