Google post ideas for septic companies: November to January

Holiday guests mean more water going into the tank, and winter freezes can stress a septic system. Your posts can remind owners what is safe to flush, how to protect the drain field, and when to book a pumping or inspection.

How to use this list

Pick one idea a week and rotate the kinds of post: a seasonal tip, a service spotlight, a local post, a customer question, and a real offer only when you have one. Don't run the same kind two weeks in a row.
Only mention services you actually offer and facts you can point to on your own website. No made-up prices, discounts or promises.
Put the point in the first sentence. Name your service and your town once, naturally.
Use one of your own job photos when one fits. Never use a stock photo that pretends to be your work.
Use the Call now or Book button for the next step. Google's posts policy says posts with contact details it can't verify, including phone numbers, may be removed (Google's posts content policy).

November

Get the tank ready for guests and the first freeze.

Hosting this year? Think about your septic tank
More guests mean more showers, laundry and dishes. Spread out water use and avoid heavy loads in one day.
Include: Your service area, a photo of a tank lid or a crew at work, and the Call button.
What not to put down the drain on Thanksgiving
Grease, coffee grounds and food scraps can build up. Scrape plates into the trash, not the sink.
Include: A short do and do-not list and the service name plus your town.
Wipes are not flushable, even the labeled ones
Wipes and paper towels do not break down well and can clog pipes and pumps. Only toilet paper belongs in the toilet.
Include: A photo of a clog or filter from a real job, if you have one, and the Call button.
When was your tank last pumped?
Schedules vary by tank size and household. Follow local rules, and a general guide is to have the system inspected about every three years.
Include: Your pumping and inspection services and the Book button.
Can you find your septic lid?
Many owners do not know where their lid is. Marking it makes service faster and safer.
Include: Post this only if you offer locating or risers, with a photo of a marked lid.
Protect the drain field before it freezes
Keep grass, snow and mulch even over the field, because plant cover helps insulate it in cold areas.
Include: A photo of a healthy field and your service area.
Fall check before the ground freezes
The ground is easier to dig now, and it is easier to get to a tank before frost.
Include: Your booking method and holiday hours only if you have set them.

December

Holiday load, frozen ground, and signs of trouble.

Keep vehicles off the drain field
Driving or parking over a drain field can crush pipes and compact soil. Keep cars, trailers and holiday guests away.
Include: A photo of a marked-off area and a calm reminder.
Slow drains and gurgling toilets: early signs
These can be early signs of a problem in the system. Reduce water use and call a pro.
Include: The Call button and your service area.
Sewage smell or backup? Call a professional
If sewage backs up into the home, avoid contact, keep people and pets away, and call a septic professional right away.
Include: Your emergency number, if you offer one, and your service area.
Frozen pipes or a frozen system?
Cold can freeze pipes or shallow parts of a system. If water stops draining in freezing weather, call a pro rather than digging.
Include: How you handle winter calls and the Call button.
Garbage disposals and septic tanks
Disposals add solids to the tank. Using them lightly and composting scraps can help.
Include: Your advice for customers and a short tip list.
Holiday visitors who flush everything
Politely remind guests with a sign in the bathroom. Only toilet paper and waste belong in the toilet.
Include: Offer a printable bathroom sign only if you actually have one.
Our holiday hours for septic emergencies
Let customers know when you are open and how to reach you.
Include: Holiday hours only if you have set them.

January

Inspections, repairs and spring planning.

Start the year with a septic inspection
An inspection can catch small problems before spring rain and thaw. Offer an easy way to book.
Include: Your inspection service, your town name, and the Book button.
Soggy spots over the drain field
Wet or spongy ground in winter may point to a problem. Do not drive on it, and call a pro to check.
Include: A photo of a field problem from a real job, and the Call button.
What happens during a septic pumping
Walk through the steps: finding the lid, pumping the tank, checking the baffles, and a final look.
Include: Only the steps you actually do and a photo of your truck at a job.
Buying or selling a home? Septic inspections
Many sales require an inspection. Offer a timely visit and a clear report.
Include: Post this only if you do real-estate inspections, with your service area.
Water-saving habits help your septic
Fix leaky faucets and running toilets. Less extra water gives the tank time to settle.
Include: A short list of habits and the service name plus your town.
Know your local septic rules
Rules vary by county on pumping, inspections and records. Point owners to their local health office for requirements.
Include: Your service area and what you can help with.
Schedule spring pumping now
Spring thaw and rain can stress a system, and slots fill up. Book early.
Include: Your booking method and an offer only if you really run one.

Where you are changes the list

Cold-winter areas

Focus on drain field protection, snow cover, and not driving on frozen ground. Remind owners that frozen or backed-up systems are a call-a-pro situation.

Warm-winter areas

In the South, Gulf Coast and Florida, rain and high water tables are the main concern. Posts about drainage, flooding and holiday guests fit well.

Rural and well-water areas

Many rural homes rely on both a septic system and a well. Remind owners to know where each one is and follow local health department guidance.

Questions customers ask this time of year

How often should a septic tank be pumped?: It depends on the tank size and how many people live in the home. Local rules may set a schedule. As a general guide, systems should be inspected about every three years, and we can tell you what your tank needs.
What should I never put down the drain?: Wipes, paper towels, grease, coffee grounds, medicines and harsh chemicals do not belong in a septic system. Only toilet paper and waste should be flushed.
