Washer Repair El Paso Texas
As washer repair professionals, customers sometimes come to us with questions about septic system preservation. That’s because they were told by others that washing machines can damage such systems. So today, we wanted to delve into the watery topic in a bit more detail:
The sad truth is septic systems may be negatively impacted by poorly maintained, inefficient and improperly set-up washing machines. How so? Well, the damage is generally caused by laundry products, non-biodegradable fabrics and a deluge of water. Essentially, once inside of the system, all three things have the potential to destroy its natural balance, spoil the drain field and create clogs. Thus, there are steps that washing machine owners may take to minimize their risk of encountering costly septic system repairs.
For starters, our washing machine pros recommend selecting machines that use as little water and detergent as possible from the get go. Experts widely agree that washers with horizontal-axis designs tend to excel in both of those areas. So would-be shoppers may want to investigate models that fall into that category first.
Once a selection is made, it’s advisable to have the machine installed by a washing machine repair pro. He or she may be able to recommend using a separate drywell or lint filter. The separate drywell, along with a water efficient washer, would reduce the risk of water deluge damage. The filter, on the other hand, has the potential to help to reduce the amount of non-biodegradable materials entering into the system.
As for the laundry products, it’s typically best to use bio-degradable, low-sudsing, phosphate-free, concentrated detergents and fabric softeners. They tend to cause less disruption of the system’s natural balance and do not create as many clogs as other types of laundry products.
In addition to those preventive measures, our washer repair pros also suggest protecting the drain field by using appropriate landscaping techniques and keeping it from coming into contact with heavy objects like motor vehicles and gazebos. Using a well-thought out washing schedule may help too. To ask questions and speak with our washer repair pros about this laundry related topic, please contact us at (915) 585-2811.
