Quoting: Norske_in_Merika 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. I have 2 years left before my next service, is that enough time? . INFJ; We are the protectors. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 78474451 United Kingdom 02/15/2020 07:30 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I also put Rid-x down the septic tank every month. Plus I do not use my garbage disposal. Due to government laws and rules most septic pumpers stopped doing this. We only have one company that handles multiple counties. I paid him cash so I didn't pay full price. Quoting: Dog Lover 78298006 wow..i just shit where ever there is a toilet and forget about it, cant imagin having to pay a man to deal with it for me hahaha are you sure this isnt a monty pythin sketch? |

And BTW 3 years is overkill for a septic system. Our guy said 5 years is more than adequate for our household.

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. |

Quoting: Sodbuster 2 people in the house for 20 years. had it pumped after 15 years (5 years ago). the guy said it looked fine; of course, he followed that up with "would you like to schedule your next 'every 2 year pump out' now" lol I said "no". Rid-ex once a year. 1-2lb copper sulfate every couple years to kill tree roots that try to get in. we don't use garbage disposal or put in any non-septic safe materials. filter was clean too. yup, depends on usage and what ya flush down. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 78173554 United States 02/15/2020 07:43 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Don't worry, toilet paper will not exist after 3 months of SHTF and your septic system will be much happier for it. Also, if septic pumping companies are no longer operating then most likely the water system will be down. If you have a well and a generator, I doubt you have enough fuel to keep that well operational long enough for your septic system to shit the bed. It's pretty easy to poop outside, too. Just buy one of those seats with handles on the sides meant to go over a regular toilet for old people. Go out in your backyard, scoop out two shovel fulls of dirt... then poop in the hold and cover up when done. After a while, you will find that you have to move pretty far out in the woods to dig a hole and not find a previous heater, but maybe at that point it's time to dig a hole for an outhouse. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 50688804 United States 02/15/2020 07:44 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | For those of you making fun, and who live in town, I suggest you research on the internet what to expect from YOUR sewer system when the city system goes down. Do you have a shut off valve on the line from your house that connects to the city line? If you're in an apartment building, do you have a shut off between your apartment and the others in your building??? Go look at news reports after Hurricane Sandy - lots of people stranded in highrise buildings with no power or sewer service. Nice folks that they were, they were shitting in the hallway! |

And BTW 3 years is overkill for a septic system. Our guy said 5 years is more than adequate for our household. Quoting: Sodbuster Honestly it depends on the size of the system and the about of people using that system. For some it might be one year(such as a commercial location in a rural setting,like a restaurant). If you have two in a house hold with a system build for 6,you can probably go 5 or more years. If you have 6 people and the system was build for 3 then you might get 2-3 years. Point being it varies by design and number using it. I know my shit. |
