Clogged drains is an unfortunate headache that everyone will face in their lifetime. When it comes to clearing those clogged drains, there are many different recommended ways of how to clean a sink drain. First and foremost, the most important thing to note before addressing all the possible ways of how to keep drains clear, is how NOT to keep drains clear.  This may come as a surprise to you, but the "most popular" way to clear drain clogs is NOT what is best for your system! This is our biggest piece of advice: Do Not Use Drano! Is Drano safe? NO! Drano is an extremely abrasive drainage cleaner that should not be used in your sinks, toilets, showers, or anywhere! Drano is powerful enough to break down whatever is blocking your sink, and strong enough corrode the very material that lines your drains and pipes. While Drano is a seemingly effective temporary fix to the your clogged drain headache, it will only cause you more stress in the future. Continuously using Drano with...

How often/when should I get a drain line inspection for my business? The frequency of drain line inspection depends on the age and condition of your pipes. An older drain line should be inspected and cleared more frequently—every 6 to 8 months should do the trick.   A new drain line or a drain line in good condition would benefit greatly from an annual inspection , or even every 18 months . However, even the newer and higher quality pipes are susceptible to accidents and damage. It is vital that you contact ASAP Septic immediately once you notice or suspect any possible blockage or clog to the drain line.    Signs you need a drain line inspection: Low water levels Slow or improper flushing/draining Gurgling noises coming from your toilet Flooded yard due to septic tank overflow Bad smells coming from your drains Frequent backups and clogs If you are experiencing any of these things, do not wait to call ASAP Septic! Fixing the problem now can save you from havin...

Lift stations are essential to functional waste management systems. A lift station is a mechanism of pumps that allows water to be carried from a place of low elevation to a place of higher elevation. Ideally sewage lines work together with the land gradient in your area to allow gravity to do most of the work in carrying sewage, waste, and storm water from place to place. A lift station allows that same reliance on gravity when sewage lines and the gradient of the land cannot work together.  Here is the step-by-step of how a lift station works: 1) Waste water is pumped from your home (ie. using a toilet, sink, shower, laundry machine. etc). 2) The waste travels downhill to a low point where it can no longer travel by gravity. 3) At that low point, a lift station is installed that is intended to assist the waste water in its navigation through the sewer system.  4) The water enters into and begins filling up an underground basin or tank called a " wet well "; in this wet ...

As we enter the winter season and weather gets colder in Idaho, we need to make sure your septic tank is ready to handle the cold!  Here are some common problems homeowners have run into with their septic tanks in the winter: 1) Frozen Ground - When winter sets in, along comes snow and ice. When the ground freezes,  it is difficult to dig into the ground to treat your septic tank. So have your septic tank looked at before the cold of winter sets in! 2) Holiday Overload - The winter months bring joyful holidays full of family, friends, and plenty of guests. When hosting people for the holidays, water usage increases with ever shower taken, dish washed, load of laundry cleaned, and toilet flushed. Some septic tanks may not be equipped to handle the sudden holiday overload, which is why it's important to spread out the water festivities this year!
