How can I prolong the life of my septic tank?

Repair leaky fixtures and conserve water, the more water you put through your septic tank, the more water it must treat and quicker it may stop working. Avoid pouring grease, coffee grounds and similar materials down your kitchen drain.
 
Be aware that some cleaning materials and solvents may cause damage to your system. Don't use your toilet and septic system as a dust bin, doing this will encourage sludge to build up and bacteria overloading in the septic tank.
