One of the questions we frequently get is, “Can we drive or park on our septic system?”
The short answer is “No!” The longer answer (and reasoning) is this: Driving on your septic system compacts the soil. When soil is compacted, the air is squished out and its ability to process wastewater is diminished. For the health and longevity of your system, try to remember to keep all heavy equipment, vehicles, and machinery off the system; however, lawn mowers are generally okay (which is good since that area of grass is often more green…. thanks, in part to extra moisture and -ahem – natural fertilizer!)
