Sewer Line Cleaning & Care



Action Septic Tank Service knows the importance of caring for your sewer line. Unlike clogged drains, sewer backups are more serious and can cause damage to your drain pipe. Sewage also contains harmful bacteria so contacting a septic and sewer professional is highly recommended. If you are experiencing sewage backups, call for ACTION!

 Action Septic Tank Service suggests the following tips to help keep your sewer line clean and properly maintained.

 1. Keep diapers, wipes, personal care products, plastics, wrappers, paints, cat litter, coffee grinds, pesticides and disinfectants from going down your drain.

 2. Avoid putting fats, oils and grease (FOG) down your kitchen drain.

 3. Never plant trees near your sewage line. The roots can break through the pipe and cause blockages.

 4. CONSERVE WATER.

 5. Limit the use of your garbage disposal.
