Regular maintenance will keep sediment from backing up inside of the tank. Sediment can not only cause the sewage in the tank to back up into your house, but it can cause the tank to fail completely. If the cost of pumping your septic tank seems a bit steep, remember that the cost of cleanup and repair of a failed septic system will be much higher.

If you are unable to relieve a clogged toilet with a plunger, try pouring a small bucket of water into the bowl from about waist level if the level of water in the bowl is low. Repeat this as many times as necessary until your clog is gone, and you can flush normally once again.

This prevents sediment from building up in the tank and causing a backup into your home or causing the failure of the septic system itself. It may be a bit expensive to pump a septic tank, but it will be very expensive to clean up an emergency sewage problem.
-
Don't pay a plumber midway through the job. Although you might be required to pay a down payment before the job is initiated, never pay the bill in full until you are certain that the job is completed to your satisfaction. Agree with the plumber in advance on the job and payment.
+
If a plunger is ineffective, you might be able to do the trick with a bucket of warm water. After the water level in the toilet bowl has gone down, you can repeat the procedure until the blockage is cleared.
-
Look at the overflow holes to ensure they aren't clogged up. Overflow holes divert water when a sink starts to fill up. That doesn't happen often, but when it does, it can be a big problem if there is a clog. Clear the overflow holes periodically when you are doing your periodic checks for other problems and things that need to be repaired.
+
If your home runs on well water and you notice any orange or pink stains in your fixtures or tub, this is because of iron in your water. You can deal with use by using a water softener, which is something you can get on your own at a local retailer, or by hiring a professional to come out.
-
To increase the useful life of your garbage disposal, clean it out regularly. You can run lemon rinds and dish soap through your disposal to help keep it smelling fresh and operating in an efficient manner.
+
Trash should go in the trash basket, not the toilet. Use the toilet for what it is designed for, and it won't give you a lot of problems. Keep away from flushing improper items down the toilet, like cotton balls, diapers, paper towels, or feminine hygiene products. These types of items can clog your toilet as they do not dissolve. Additionally, use the minimum amount of toilet paper required to clean up after you are done.
-
Maintain smooth functioning of the drain in your bathtub by dropping baking soda and then vinegar down it on a monthly basis. Plug the drain afterwards or cover it with a washcloth, as the two chemicals are going to react with each other. Pause a few minutes, and then follow the mixture with boiling water. Your pipes will soon be clear of accumulated hair and soap scum.
+
If you have to replace any of your shower heads, make sure that the replacement is the best one you can afford. Some people think they can get away with the cheapest version at the store. The problem about this is they aren't sturdy and they tend to break a lot easier.
-
Do not flush unneeded things down your toilet if you want to lessen your chance of having issues. For example, don't flush sanitary pads or diapers down your toilet. These items can clog the pipes. Also, you want to use the least amount of toilet paper to clean yourself.
