Septic Compass is a free service that connects homeowners with licensed local septic companies. We are not a contractor and do not perform septic work.
Choose toilet paper labeled 'septic-safe' or one that breaks down quickly — single- or two-ply dissolves faster than thick, quilted, or 'ultra' brands. The faster it breaks apart, the less it contributes to the sludge layer. Never flush wipes, even ones marketed as flushable.
