Portable potty rental company in Sonora? Water from your garbage disposal, dishwasher, sinks, toilets, showers and washing machine all enter the septic system. Therefore, it is crucial to watch what you flush or pour down your drains. Never put any of the following items into your plumbing system: Cooking fats or other grease, Disposal wipes (even the ones labeled flushable), Disposable diapers, Coffee grounds, eggshells, or nutshells, Sanitary napkins, tampons or condoms, Paper towels or rags, Paints or chemicals. Another important factor in maintaining the life of your septic system is the amount of water entering the tank each day. Too much water entering the septic system on a daily basis will not allow enough time for solids to separate properly and for the soil in the drain field to absorb all of the water.

We are also looking for signs of any problems or potential problems. During routine service we measure and check the solids. We will forecast when the next pumping is needed. After the work is performed we will report to you all of our findings and any recommendations. After maintenance is performed on all engineered systems, Foothill Sanitary Septic completes the manufacturer’s paperwork that gets sent to them and the owner. Doing this keeps your septic system compliant for any warranties that might still be available. It also develops a history for your system showing proper care & maintenance has been provided by a certified provider. Keeping good records is recommended by Foothill Sanitary Septic because if you ever sell your property, you have a record to show a buyer.

The most common cause of a failed system is overloading it. This can be caused by the consecutive use of high-volume activities such as laundry, showering, and running the dishwasher. Space out their usage as well as follow water conservation efforts year round. This is particularly important during heavy rain, which can quickly overwhelm a drainfield on its own. Also common are blockages, which can cause pipes to be clogged and the drainfield to overflow. To prevent this, avoid flushing anything besides the three Ps (pee, poop, and toilet paper). “Flushable” wipes and FOG (fats, oils, grease) clog pipes so should be thrown in the trash. Avoid the use of a garbage disposal which can improperly break down debris. Read even more info on rental service.

Greywater from washing machine, sinks and showers contains soaps designed to kill bacteria (clean and disinfect things) and thus discourage optimal septic tank function. You want to encourage helpful good bacteria (digesting anaerobic cultures) to grow in your septic tank and organically treat the waste, not kill helpful bacteria with detergent laden graywater. If allowed by local building department, it is best practice to divert household greywater to a separate leaching area.
