Keep Your Cool All Season Long!

✅ Change Your Air Filter
Swap it out every 1–3 months to keep airflow strong and clean.

✅ Schedule a Tune-Up
A professional inspection ensures your system runs efficiently and catches small issues before they get bigger.

✅ Clear Around the Outdoor Unit
Remove grass, leaves, and debris to give your AC room to breathe.

✅ Use a Programmable Thermostat
Set it higher when you’re away and cooler when you’re home — save energy without sacrificing comfort.

✅ Check for Air Leaks
Seal gaps around doors and windows so your cool air stays inside where it belongs.

✅ Keep Vents Unblocked
Make sure furniture or curtains aren’t blocking airflow from vents.

✅ Stay on Top of Humidity
Consider a dehumidifier if your home feels sticky — it helps your AC work better and keeps you more comfortable.

Is Your Septic System Summer Ready?

Is Your Septic System Summer-Ready? Here’s What You Need to Know

Summer is around the corner—which means more cookouts, more guests, and more strain on your home’s plumbing system. If you rely on a septic system, this is the perfect time to make sure it’s ready to handle the extra load.

Here’s how to keep your septic system in top shape through the busy season:

☀️ 1. Plan for Guests

Extra people mean extra water usage—from showers to laundry to toilet flushes. If you’re expecting company this summer:

  • Space out showers and laundry loads
  • Remind guests what not to flush
  • Consider a quick septic check-up if it’s been a while since your last pump

🛠 2. Check Your System After Spring Rains

Spring often brings heavy rain, which can saturate the ground and stress your drain field. If you’ve noticed soggy spots or slow drains, now’s the time to investigate. A quick inspection can catch small problems before they grow.

🌿 3. Be Careful with Landscaping

Summer is prime time for yardwork—but avoid planting trees or bushes near your septic tank or drain field. Roots can grow into pipes and cause serious damage. Stick to grass or shallow-rooted plants around your system.

🚫 4. Avoid Heavy Equipment on the Drain Field

Whether you’re doing some backyard renovations or just parking extra vehicles, keep anything heavy off your drain field. Driving or building on it can compact the soil, damage pipes, and lead to system failure.

⏱ 5. Stay on Schedule

If your septic tank hasn’t been pumped in 3–5 years, summer is a great time to get it done. Regular maintenance keeps everything flowing smoothly and helps avoid messy backups at the worst possible time.

Keep Summer Fun—Not Stressful

Your septic system works hard behind the scenes—especially when your home is full of family and friends. A little attention now can save you a lot of hassle later.
