When your business is located outside city limits and away from the city sewage system, you must utilize a commercial septic system to manage your waste. These types of septic tanks differ from regular tanks because of the large capacity of waste they can hold. Therefore, maintaining your commercial septic system is crucial for the tank’s longevity and ensuring everything runs as it should.
If you grew up with a septic system, you’re probably familiar with the rules of not flushing garbage or chemicals down the drains and being mindful of water consumption. However, not every guest or employee of your business will know about these rules, so it’s important to remind them. Consider posting a friendly reminder in the bathrooms for everyone to see.
Is your business a restaurant? While it’s necessary to dispose of grease and oil, flushing or pouring these materials down a drain will harm your commercial septic tank and clog the system. Avoid flushing any grease or oil down the drains. Instead, ask your employees to drain oil in jars or tin foil to prevent harming your restaurant’s waste management system.
The drainfield in your septic tank is an integral part of your system because it slowly releases effluent into the soil to maintain your waste levels. Parking cars or driving over the drainfield or your septic tank, in general, should never be done because it can damage the soil and grass around the drain. Keep cars and parking lots away from the commercial septic system to prevent these issues.
Excess rainwater around your commercial septic tank and drainfield can also present issues. Too much water saturation will make it difficult for the drainfield to dispose of liquid waste effectively. Install a drainage system at your business to help divert rainwater away from the tank, allowing you to maintain it better.
Something about commercial septic systems you should know is that they need an inspection around once a year. This differs from the tank’s counterparts because of the system’s size. Hiring a professional service for this is best because the technicians will have more experience and knowledge than you. Plus, you never want to accidentally damage anything by trying to maintain and inspect the tank yourself.
As long as you maintain your commercial septic system, it should last you for decades. Follow the best practices to avoid damaging anything, and remember to hire a professional service every year.
