Depending on the type of septic system you have in your home, that is how much a replacement can cost.

I’m fairly certain that you would like to avoid that cost. There are a few things that you can do to make sure that the need for a replacement will be as far away as possible.

One of the first steps to caring for your system is to have a professional inspect it every 3 years. He can spot problems that need to be addressed before they turn into something more serious.

You also need to be careful with what you flush down.

Some items that might seem harmless can do major damage to your system. Such things as dental floss, cat litter and paper towel can cause clogs or do damage to the components of your system.
Certain chemicals can also interfere with the biological process that goes on inside of the tank.
