As we are dealing daily with the pandemic and Covid 19, many of us are working out of our homes, kids are working remotely for schooling, or some of you may even be out of work.  The common denominator is that everyone is HOME!  

So what does this mean regarding your home's septic system?  It means that all those people who have been home, when they would have been either at work or school, are now using the bathroom only at your home.  

So what this means is that we have been seeing a lot more heavy usage in the septic tank and system.  We are seeing more paper dams (more toilet paper used), for example, and what this means is you may need to have your septic tank cleaned and serviced sooner than you would have if we were not in this Pandemic.  If you normally have had your septic system pumped out every 3 years, we would recommend getting it done sooner, 2 to 2 1/2 year span instead.  Everyone uses their systems differently, but during this time of Covid, please be conscience of how heavy the usage is and call the septic professionals at ABRAHAMSON SEPTIC LLC in Preston, CT to schedule a septic cleaning before you have an unpleasant back up into your home.
