Preventing Winter Septic Problems

Jean Knotts on September 1, 2023

Homeowners Should Maintain Their Septic Systems Before Winter

If you’re like most homeowners, you’ve probably never thought about preventing winter septic problems. Yes, we know it’s September, and you really don’t want to think about winter right now. But at Kamzik Septic Service, we recommend that you start thinking about preventing winter septic problems. Winter weather poses a big threat to residential and commercial septic systems. If you don’t prepare your septic system for winter, you might have frozen septic lines or other problems.

Kamzik Septic Service provides septic maintenance, pumping, inspection, and 24/7 emergency services for Cambria, Blair, Indiana, and Somerset counties. Our September blog focuses on preventing winter septic problems now before the temperature plummets.

Insulating Your Septic Tank is a Good Preventative Measure

Kamzik Septic Service recommends that you insulate your septic tank with actual insulation or a cover to prevent a freeze. When snow or frost invades your septic tank and causes a freeze-up, you could have a major problem. A frozen septic system could slow down or prevent healthy bacteria in your tank from breaking down waste. If the septic system doesn’t properly break down wastewater, a malfunction could occur.

Kamzik Septic Service Can Pump Your Septic During the Fall

Kamzik Septic Service can pump the septic tank before the winter weather hits. Our septic pumping technician can determine if you need our affordable septic pumping after inspection of the septic tank. Kamzik Septic Service recommends that you should have us pump your tank every three to five years. Prevention of blockages is the reason for septic pumping. Pumping the tank in the winter is certainly not the ideal season for that service. Pumping the septic tank might also help to prevent freezing of the tank.

Winterizing Your Plumbing Pipes is Ideal for Septic Systems

Winterizing your plumbing pipes is another way to prevent septic problems. You can prevent the pipes from freezing or bursting. The first step in winterizing the pipes is draining all water from all pipes and emptying the water heater. We don’t recommend that homeowners add antifreeze to their system. It will affect the bacteria in the septic tank.

Use Your Water and Toilet Regularly During Winter

You might not be aware, but homeowners should run water and flush the toilet multiple times during the day. Normal use of the septic system is ideal during the winter. The septic system will not receive wastewater if you don’t run water and use the tank daily. Lack of use might cause septic tank problems.

Our team comes to your aid in Cambria, Blair, Indiana, and Somerset counties at any time of the day. Are your toilets and drains backing up in the middle of the night?

Homeowners Should Call Us About Sewage Backup Immediately

When sewage backs up in your toilet, that’s a sign that you have a serious septic problem. Sewage backup is one of the most damaging and obvious sewer problems. If you see the signs of sewage backing up in your toilet or sink, you need to call Kamzik Septic Service right away. Don’t worry about the time of day. Even if we don’t answer right away, a friendly representative will call back as soon as possible.

The Most Common Septic Problems are Backups and Clogs

Clogs and backups are the most common septic problem that homeowners, landlords, and business owners experience. The main culprit of clogs and backups is flushing things down the toilet that you shouldn’t be flushing. As we wrote in our last blog, the only things that you should flush are human waste and toilet paper. When you flush paper towels, tampons, and diapers, you harm the sewer system and the environment. But if you do flush something and it clogs the line, call us for our 24/7 emergency services.

Our technicians have more than 30 years of experience in the septic business. We know that a septic emergency is a stressful, confusing time for homeowners.

Some Things You Shouldn’t Flush

Jean Knotts on December 1, 2022

Treating Your Toilet Like a Garbage Can Be a Costly Mistake 

You might think that you can dispose of anything in the toilet, but there are some things you shouldn’t flush. Some people treat their toilet like it’s a garbage can. But the only things you should really flush are human waste and toilet paper. There are many products that we flush that are harmful to the septic system and the environment. In this month’s blog, Kamzik Septic Service highlights some things you shouldn’t flush in your toilet. We’ve seen the aftermath of things that people shouldn’t be flushing, including:

    • Plastics
    • Paper Towels
    • Facial Tissues
    • Sanitary Napkins
    • Tampons
    • Dental Floss
    • Hair
    • Strong Pharmaceuticals
    • Disposable Diapers
    • Condoms
    • Kitty Litter
    • Flushable Wipes
    • Food Scraps
    • Coffee Grinds
    • Cooking Oil
    • Trash

Don’t Flush Your Non-Biodegradable Tampons 

You might be surprised, but you definitely shouldn’t flush tampons or other feminine hygiene products. Tampons don’t break down like toilet paper does. Feminine hygiene products are non-biodegradable. They absorb water and expand when you flush them. When you flush tampons, you compromise the pipes. In the end, you might need our 24-hour emergency services.

Throw Your Baby’s Diapers in the Trash Instead of Flushing

Flushing your baby’s disposable diapers seems like a quick and painless way to get rid of the diaper. But it’s inflicting pain on your septic system and, ultimately, your bank account. Diapers are highly absorbent, non-biodegradable, and will clog your sewer lines. Our team at Kamzik Septic Service has found that it’s very difficult to unclog lines with diapers in them. The diapers expand when they’re flushed, leading to major blockages. We suggest shaking out the waste in the toilet and throwing the diaper in the trash.

The Toughness and Durability of Paper Towels Create Problems 

Paper towels appear be perfect to flush down a toilet because they’re not that different than toilet paper. But the truth is that paper towels don’t break down like toilet paper does. You’ve seen the commercials where paper towel companies promote the toughness and durability of their products. That’s great for cleaning up messes around the house, but they’re awful for septic systems. When you want to throw paper towels away, choose the trash can instead of the toilet.

Contact Kamzik Septic Service at (814) 322-1966 when you have something clogging your septic system. You might have to talk to our team today about some things you shouldn’t flush.
