Updating Plumbing Fixtures & Septic Systems

Updating plumbing fixtures can be a fun way of restyling your home. Bonus points because these updates can have the added benefit of making your septic system last longer. It may sound crazy, but plumbing fixtures and appliances play a significant role in the health of your septic system.

Caring for an Older Septic System

Maybe you just bought a house with an older septic system, or maybe your system is getting older with time, and you want to do what you can to preserve it.

Septic systems generally last 20 to 25 years, depending on the tank's construction materials. There are some cases of systems lasting much longer if cared for properly. It is easier and more efficient to maintain an older septic system than to pay [...]

The Best Toilet Paper for Septic Systems

It’s easy to underestimate septic problems if you’ve never experienced one.
