Septic systems need regular maintenance to prevent major problems. Homeowners in San Francisco who have septic tanks should schedule regular service calls to get them pumped out. This reduces the risk of septic system failure. Additionally, homeowners should use bacterial additives, septic system filters, and water conservation devices like low-flow shower heads and toilets.
