To maintain a clean, well-functioning septic tank, it is recommended that you clean it out once every five years. Doing this prevents any sediment from getting built up within the tank, which causes a backup in your home or causes your entire septic system to fail. In this case, the cost of prevention definitely outweighs having your septic backing up into your house or failing.

Don't let your house temperature drop to below freezing and make sure to insulate anything that is exposed to the outside elements to prevent frozen pipes. Pipes will freeze if they are exposed to temperatures below freezing. It may take time to thaw so that you can have running water. In the worst case, the pipes would burst, and you would be stuck with costly repairs and a very messy cleanup procedure.

They might be in liquid form, but after they cool off, they will solidify and make a clog in your drain pipe.

To keep your drain running efficiently, dispose of fats and oils in other ways besides pouring them down the drain.
