How to Clean a Septic Tank?
An overfilled septic tank can cause backups in a sewer line, causing many problems in a plumbing system. If a septic tank has overflowed, it is usually clogged with excessive organic debris. A septic tank cleaner can be a good first step when treating a septic tank overflow. Septic tank cleaners contain natural bacteria and enzymes, designed to break down organic material in human waste. Excessive disposal of bleach and detergents into a septic line can kill these bacteria, preventing the breakdown of septic waste in a tank. If a septic cleaner doesn't clear a tank after a week, it may be necessary to use a professional septic tank cleaning service.

How do you maintain your septic tank?
Septic tanks require very little maintenance. You can dose your septic tank with a bacteria treatment once a month with Rid-X or a similar brand, but this is not vital. If you do use a bacteria treatment, you will only need to have your septic tank pumped out every five years, instead of every one or two years. You should not flush things like tampons or sanitary wipes, and you should only use biodegradable toilet paper, because the bacteria cannot break these things down and this will also cause the septic tank to get full faster. The only other things to remember are to keep the area above your septic tank and its drain field grassy. Do not allow plants with large root systems to grow there, or your septic system will be damaged. Do not position anything heavy over the septic system either - septic tanks have been completely broken due to people parking their cars over them.
How does a septic tank look?
A septic tank and its accompanying drain field are both several feet underground, and so from ground level they do not "look" like anything at all. Sometimes grass is more green over a septic tank, but this is not necessarily so. Even a septic tank specialist cannot locate your tank by looking. They would need to use a special probe or a line detector.
