One thing I don’t mess around with is my septic system, if there is anything wrong with that area of the house, I call a professional right out.
I make sure that I don’t flush anything wrong down the drains.
I never flush a tampon, tissue, or anything not meant for the toilet, but my sink only gets water, toothpaste, facewash, plus mouthwash. I frequently do some plumbing repair on my own. I use my own snake to make sure my drains are scrub plus I even take off the toilet from time to time. I am that scared about having a block with my septic system; Well I recently went outside plus smelled something foul. I immediately got on the cellphone because I figured my septic tank needed to be pumped! The women came over plus pumped my septic tank however it wasn’t full. They still did the task plus I paid them. They informed me the issue was a drainfield one. I had a leak in my drain field. I needed to have the lawn torn up plus upgrade all the drainage in there. The plumber I hired did all the labor for a adequate amount of money; She showed me old drainage plus then her finished product, but you can tell my drainfield was designed in the 80s where materials were cheap plus flimsy! Rather than flimsy pipes I have sealed PEX piping that works like a dream; Even the configuration is way better. The lawn has since been fixed plus there are no more foul odors. I am hopeful that is the last of my drainfield problems.
