Septic pumper said to put baker's yeast in the tank.
We repiped the washer drain out to the yard years ago.

May I have your address so I can write you a fine..

If you flush some Rid-X down the toilet once a year you can go years and years with no service needed.

Pumper said Rid-X is useless. We recapped the
septic and repiped the drain field.
County Inspector was satisfied so no worries.
A herd of deer often bed down back there
and my local Sasquatch said we're good to go.

Half you people have no idea what your talking about..
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 75100099


Each county that I am aware of, has their own code requirements and may differ from the others. Over many years, there has been all sorts of solutions, so there is a chance that these will be encountered currently. Purchasing a property seems to typically allow for "grandfathering" of the septic systems instead of requiring an upgrade.

Might as well, even if it's ok.
A simple "suck-up" service without cleaning the leach lines only goes for around $100 here.

So you all know I am a sanitarian and I would be paying some of you a visit if I knew where you lived.

Septic systems can be very dangerous if done wrong, fuck up your well and see what happens.

Re: Septic Systems...... Get them serviced now !
Honestly, they tried to saddle us with a septic system years ago and we refused. We live rurally enough that we can pipe to a hillside dropoff and into a lagoon. Our horses and cows shed far more waste than us. I just don't see why anyone in the country would agree to that. Makes no sense.

It's not anything to worry about. Before it became mandatory to have it pumped I went over 30 years without having it pumped out. When it was pumped the guy who did it said it was still in good condition and had been breaking down the waste just fine. He told me I could have even gone a few more years.

If you are like me and live in a rural area, you likely have a septic system.

Most systems have to be cleaned and serviced every 3 years.

If you didn't have it done recently, get it done now !

Once this virus hits here in the US, no company will be cleaning septic systems.

Rid-X is bad for septic pumpers because it breaks down waste and you don't need them to come out and suck the tank as often.
