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.
Keep wipes (even 'flushable' ones), grease, coffee grounds, paper towels, feminine products, and harsh chemicals out of a septic system. They either clog the tank and lines or kill the bacteria that break down waste. Stick to the three P's — pee, poop, and toilet paper.
