At Blocked Drains Lincoln, we provide expert drainage services to residents and businesses in Lincolnshire, and we're here to guide you on how to clean your drains with a septic tank.

A septic system is a self-contained wastewater treatment system that uses natural processes to break down and treat sewage. The system consists of a septic tank, drainfield, and soil. The septic tank receives wastewater from your home, where it breaks down into solid, liquid, and gas components. The liquid waste then flows into the drainfield, where it's filtered and treated by the soil.

Clogged drains can cause significant problems for your septic system, including:

• Backups and overflows
• Slow draining
• Bad odors
• Damage to your septic tank and drainfield
• Environmental contamination

1. Use a drain maintenance product: Use a product specifically designed for septic systems to help break down grease, hair, and other debris that can clog your drains.
2. Run hot water: Run hot water through your drains to help dissolve any blockages.
3. Use a drain snake: Use a drain snake to remove any blockages or debris that may be causing problems.
