RAIN, RAIN
 AND YOUR SEPTIC TANK

If it feels like it’s been raining for DAYS around here
 it pretty much has. And all that water can cause problems for your septic system.

When the ground becomes completely saturated, your drain field has nowhere for the water from your septic system to go.

Think of it like a sponge that’s already soaked — it can’t absorb anything else.

That can cause your septic tank to fill faster than normal and may lead to:

‱ Slow drains
‱ Toilets that don’t want to flush
‱ Gurgling sounds
‱ Water backing up into the house
‱ Wet or soggy areas around your tank or drain field

One of the BEST things you can do during stretches of heavy rain is give your septic system a break.

Spread out laundry.
Take shorter showers.
Skip the extra loads of dishes if you can.
Basically
 the less water you send down the drain, the better.

And if your septic starts acting a little crappy after all this rain
 well, you know who to call. 😉

SEPTIC ADVICE OF THE DAY:

Your toilet is not a trash can.

We know it looks convenient
 but wipes, paper towels, feminine products, grease, and whatever else you’re thinking about flushing?

DON’T. DO. IT. 😂

Your septic system has enough crap to deal with already.

And if someone in your house ignores this advice
 well, you know who to call.

🚹 Only 4 years old
 and already needing a septic repair!

Yep, you read that right. This system was only FOUR years old when problems started showing up. Unfortunately, when a septic system isn’t working the way it should, age doesn’t always matter.

We got in there, figured out the problem, made the necessary repairs, and got this system back on track. đŸ’Ș

✅ Problem diagnosed
✅ Repairs completed
✅ System back up and running
✅ Another homeowner taken care of

This is a good reminder that even a newer septic system can have problems. If something doesn’t seem right — slow drains, backups, wet areas, odors, alarms, or anything else out of the ordinary — don’t assume your system is “too new” to be the problem.

đŸ’© Septic problems don’t check the birth certificate first. 😂

Some jobs have a pretty predictable workday.

Ours? Not so much. 😂

One minute we’re pumping a tank.
Next we’re tracking down a septic problem.
Then we’re answering a call that starts with, “Sooo
 I’m not really sure what happened, but
” 👀😂

No two days are quite the same around here — and honestly, that’s part of what keeps things interesting.

Just another Wednesday doing the dirty work around our little corner of Iowa. đŸ’©

Thanks for keeping Blackburn Septic busy and trusting our family business. We appreciate every single call, referral, share and recommendation.

COMMON SEPTIC MYTHS, Let’s clear a few things up!

MYTH #1: “If everything is flushing fine, my tank doesn’t need pumped.”
Not necessarily! Your system can seem perfectly fine while solids are steadily building up in the tank.

MYTH #2: “Flushable wipes are safe for septic systems.”
“Flushable” doesn’t necessarily mean septic-friendly. Your toilet may take them
 your septic system would rather you didn’t. 😂

MYTH #3: “Septic additives mean I don’t have to pump my tank.”
There’s no magic bottle that replaces regular pumping and maintenance.

MYTH #4: “I can build, park or drive over my septic system.”
Please don’t! Heavy weight can damage tanks, pipes and your drain field.

MYTH #5: “You can’t use bleach if you have a septic system.”
You can! Normal household amounts of bleach are generally fine. Just don’t overdo it or pour large amounts of concentrated bleach down your drains.

Septic systems aren’t as complicated as they sometimes sound, but taking care of the little things can make a BIG difference.

A little septic PSA nobody asked for


Your septic system is kind of like that one person in the family who never complains.

It just quietly handles everyone’s crap. Day after day.

Until one day
 it’s had enough.

And unfortunately, when a septic system finally decides to speak up, it usually isn’t subtle.

A little maintenance goes a LONG way. Pump it before it becomes an emergency, know where your tank is, and for the love of your septic guy
 watch what you flush. 😉

Monday reminder from your friendly septic guy


Fall is coming, and your septic tank does NOT want to be the thing you’re dealing with when the ground is frozen and it’s 10° outside. 😂

If you’ve been saying, “We really should get that pumped
” consider this your sign.

Get it taken care of now while the weather is nice, future you (and probably me 😆) will be thankful you did!

Local. Reliable. And always happy to handle the crappy jobs.

🍂 Hello, September!

New month, cooler mornings, harvest right around the corner
 and somehow, still plenty of đŸ’© to keep me busy. 😂

Around here, the seasons may change, but the job stays pretty much the same.

Here’s to a busy September, good weather, happy customers, and septic tanks that behave themselves! đŸ€ž
