Prevent septic freeze-ups!

Proactively prevent septic freezing before the deep freeze sets in! There are several steps that you can take to prevent freezing, if you are concerned about the risk (not everyone is at risk).

The most common preventions:
1. Lay mulch or hay over the pipes, tank(s) and soil treatment area to create insulation 2. Let the grass grow longer in the septic area to create insulation and help hold the snow in place that falls
3. Correct any known issues (pipe too close to surface etc) now!
