Most Common Septic Tank Issues

Rural homeowners can enjoy the benefits and advantages of a septic tank, however, there are some issues that warrant repairs. Some of the most common septic tank issues we see include:

  • Incorrect usage: Flushing grease or other non water soluble items can cause serious problems to the unit.
  • Improper installation: We see many units installed incorrectly and work to fix mistakes made by past companies.
  • Tree roots: Roots can punch holes in your septic tank, causing draining and leaking issues.
  • Irregular maintenance: A septic tank needs to be cleaned and maintained regularly. We recommend having your tank cleaned at least once every two years for a standard tank and as often as once per year for smaller tanks.

Types of Water Filtration Systems

There are three main types of water filtration systems available. They include the following:

  • Reverse osmosis pumps water through a membrane before it’s pumped back into your plumbing will make sure that bacteria and impurities get caught before making it to your taps.
  • Water softeners use salts to neutralize harmful minerals and sediment that are in your water. The sodium ions bind to the magnesium or calcium ions in your water to neutralize them and make your water safe to use.
  • Carbon filters use layers of active carbon to trap impurities in your water, making it safe to consume and use.

Tips for Maintaining Your Water Heater

No one wants to deal with a failed water heater, but it happens too often and it’s a huge inconvenience to not have hot water, especially if you have a big family. The average hot water heater lasts 12 to 15 years, and with proper maintenance, you can be sure your heater runs efficiently and lasts for as long as possible while giving you reliable service. Here are a few tips on keeping your water heater in tip-top shape.

  • Check the Pressure Valve: Whether you have a gas or electric water heater, it will have a safety device called the pressure relief valve. This valve prevents an explosion if the pressure inside the tank becomes too high. Check this valve regularly to make sure it’s working and replace it if it fails.
  • Flush the Tank: Over time, sediment builds up in your tank which leads to your water heater becoming less efficient and eventually failing. Flushing and cleaning out the tank takes care of this problem and extends the life of the unit.
  • Insulate: Beefing up your water heater’s insulation takes strain off the system when it’s cooler inside your house. Less stress on the heater means a longer lifespan.

Your water heater should provide you and your family with faithful service for at least ten years with no trouble, but by taking a few minutes once a year, you can extend your water heater’s lifespan to give you the maximum service.
