Many of us focus on insulating our homes, prepping the car for icy roads, and stocking up on warm blankets before winter hits. One thing that often gets overlooked during the colder months, however, is the septic system.
While it may be buried underground, your septic system isn’t entirely immune to the freezing temperatures and snow. With a little preparation and care, though, you can keep it running smoothly all season long.
In this brief article brought to you by Septic Blue of Lakeland, we offer some tips on caring for your septic system during the winter. If you’re looking for uniformed specialists from a reputable septic company, then hit up Septic Blue to get in touch with a live representative today.
There are three major factors to consider here: freezing temperatures, increased usage, and the weight of snow.
Freezing temperatures can cause the soil or pipes in the drain field to freeze. This can disrupt the flow of water and potentially leading to blockages or backups. As such, it’s safe to say that the drain field is the most vulnerable part of your septic system during winter.
The shorter and colder days of winter often means more time spent indoors; and this means more water usage. From hosting holiday gatherings to taking longer and hotter showers, there is a lot that will add strain to your septic system.
A blanket of snow might look picturesque, but compacted snow over your drain field can lead to frozen soil. There’s also the threat of frost penetrating deep and potentially reaching the septic tank or pipes.
With the risks in mind, we can now look at some measures to protect your septic tank installation and drain field throughout the winter months.
These simple measures can help you avoid an untimely septic tank repair in the middle of winter when you’d rather enjoy your time in the comfort of your home. In any case, Septic Blue is here to help.
The wintertime is without a doubt the worst season to deal with septic issues, so handle all of your septic tank cleaning and repairs before the harsh temperatures kick in. Call or message Septic Blue of Lakeland to schedule your appointment today. Our team is on standby to help.
