To maintain your septic tank, you should treat yours at a minimum every quarter but possibly every other month. You can do this by purchasing an enzyme treatment or using simple store bought baker’s yeast. Rid X is one of the most popular enzyme treatments out there and is used by many homeowners prior to receiving septic system services in the Lake Oconee and Milledgeville, GA areas. You can purchase this at most any grocery or hardware type of store. The directions on the bottle should be followed for Rid X but if you are using baker’s yeast to treat your septic, you can just flush it down the toilet. Baker’s yeast is not a toxic chemical nor does it need oxygen to survive so many people prefer this method when treating their septic system regularly. Give us a call at Martin’s Septic Service (478-452-8272) for any questions you may have about your treatment!
