In addition to keeping items out of the system that do not belong, excessive water entering your system can cause septic problems. Here are a few ways to avoid straining your system with hydraulic overload:
- Quickly fix running commodes
- Quickly fix dripping faucets
- Quickly fix malfunctioning water softeners
- Avoid consecutive loads of laundry
- Avoid running multiple water use appliances at the same time
- Avoid having more occupants that the system was designed for
- Avoid frequent large gatherings
- Avoid long showers, using multiple shower heads simultaneously, and using large bathtubs
- Conserve water in general, which will reduce the amount entering the system
Septic system failure due to over-usage usually cannot be remedied by pumping the tank if the over-usage continues. Some systems recover after the tank is pumped and the over-usage subsides, but some do not. If the system is not able to accept your amount of household wastewater usage, the system may need to be enlarged or even replaced.
