Taking care of a septic system in Ramseur

A septic system works quietly until something goes wrong, so a little routine care goes a long way. Pump the tank every few years, keep a record of each visit, and spread out heavy water use like laundry. Keep grease, wipes and harsh chemicals out of the drains. Outside, keep vehicles and new structures off the tank and drain field, and point gutters and sump pumps away from the field.

Signs your system needs attention

Septic problems tend to show up gradually. Listen for gurgling pipes, watch for slow drains in more than one fixture, and check the yard for standing water or a sewer smell after heavy water use. If an alarm sounds on a pump or aerobic system, cut back on water and call for service rather than silencing it and waiting.

Picking a septic company that knows Ramseur

Septic work around Ramseur depends on local soil, county rules and the system types common in the area. Ask how often the company works in Randolph County and whether they handle your type of system. A good company explains what it found, what it recommends and why, before any work begins.
