Protect Your Septic System with Help from Kamzik Septic Service

Kamzik Septic Service in Johnstown, PA makes it easy for homeowners throughout Cambria, Blair, Indiana, and Somerset Counties to stay ahead of problems with practical tips and professional support. By following a few simple guidelines, you can prevent damage to your septic system and extend its life for years to come.

Schedule Regular Pumping to Keep Your System in Top Shape

Prevent damage to your septic system with routine septic tank pumping to remove excess solids that could clog your drainfield. We recommend pumping every three to five years based on system size and household usage.

Avoid Parking or Driving Over Your Septic System

Heavy vehicles can crush septic tanks and pipes buried underground. Always keep cars, trucks, and construction equipment off your septic tank and drainfield to avoid serious structural damage.

Use Water Efficiently to Reduce Stress on Your Septic Tank

Fix leaks promptly and install water-saving fixtures to minimize the load on your septic system. Reducing water flow helps maintain healthy bacterial action and keeps your system operating smoothly.

Protect Your Drainfield from Roots and Excess Moisture

Plant trees and shrubs far away from your drainfield. Roots can infiltrate pipes and cause blockages, while too much water from landscaping can saturate the soil and limit proper drainage.

Routine professional inspections help identify small issues before they turn into expensive repairs. Kamzik Septic Service in Johnstown, PA provides trusted maintenance and expert advice to help extend the life of your system.
