Have you ever wondered if there’s anything you can do to keep your septic system running smoothly? With the help of Gecko Enterprises, you can improve your system’s performance. With more than 25 years in septic tank cleaning, the Oahu professionals understand how easily problems can develop within the mechanisms, and they can inform their clients of what to do to boost functionality.

The typical life span of a septic system is about 25-30 years, barring any unexpected incidents. If you want it to last a long time, here are the six steps you can take to encourage steady operations:

Schedule a Regular Pumping Appointment

One of the best ways to prevent clogs or overloading the tank is to have it thoroughly pumped by a professional every three years or so. Gecko Enterprises’ high-quality equipment will clear the septic tank of any residue hampering the inner workings of the system.

Choose an Alternative Runoff Area

Never direct your water spouts toward the location of your septic tank. This could increase the chances of it overloading and ceasing to function correctly.

Seal All Access Points

Improperly sealed lids or ports could lead to an overloaded septic tank and drainfield, causing the system to run and waste energy continuously.

Get a Professional Inspection

Inspections are an important aspect of caring for any machinery and can easily bring hidden issues to light. This will result in lower repair bills and no chance of septic system failure.

Obtain a Copy of Sitemaps

Having a detailed drawing of your septic system could help you understand which areas require more attention than others. Plus, there won’t be any need to guess where things are located when there’s a problem.

Avoid Any Obstructions

As it is with any mechanism, your septic system requires room to function properly. This means you shouldn’t cover their drainfield with rocks or asphalt, and vehicles should be kept away from the system’s location, as the pressure could damage the interior.
