The way we dispose of sewage these days is designed to keep us safe and avoid exposing anyone to toxic substances. Septic systems are meant to hold sewage in a safe area until the system can be serviced by a qualified professional. The way septic system work is by collecting waste from a household and holding it in a tank where solid waste is decomposed until is becomes liquid. Over time the system fills and needs to be emptied to avoid overflow. When the system becomes over filled it can pour out into a home’s yard. This could contaminate the entire yard with harmful waste that can cause many different health problems. Children that play in the yard could become very ill and need medical treatment.

Septic systems usually require only minimal care in order to operate properly. Additives can be put into the tank to assist in decomposition but it’s important to check with a local service provider before adding them.
