Servicing homes in Glenn, Tehama, and Colusa counties for over a decade, Lannie's Septic Service, a family owned and operated business, has these helpful tips to keep your septic system working efficiently:

• Have your tank serviced every 5 to 7 years as proper maintenance. A small unforseen problem growing for this long can become a large smelly unforseen problem quickly. Most likely this will happen when company is over, Murphy's Law.
• A soggy draining field will not absorb and neutralize liquid waste. Allow your landscaping, gutters, and other drains so that excess water is averted from your septic tank area.
• Try to keep trees 75 or more feet away from your septic tank, as roots can cause severe damage to your septic system.
• Never attempt to open a septic tank yourself. Gases and bacteria in it are dangerous.
