Septic Safety: Protecting Your Family and Your System

Quick Answer

A septic tank is a biological powerhouse, but it can also be dangerous if not treated with respect. In Hattiesburg, we want every homeowner to stay safe while managing their waste systems.

Gases inside a septic tank, including methane and hydrogen sulfide, are lethal and can knock a person unconscious within seconds if inhaled. Never lean into, enter, or reach deep into a septic tank, and always keep children and pets away from open access points. Only trained professionals with proper ventilation equipment should perform any work that requires direct access to the tank interior.

Never Enter a Tank

The gases inside a septic tank, including methane and hydrogen sulfide, are lethal. They can knock a person unconscious in seconds. Never, under any circumstances, lean into or enter a tank.

Secure the Lids

Ensure your septic lids are heavy, made of concrete or reinforced plastic, and fastened with stainless steel screws. This prevents children or pets from accidentally falling in.
