Oooo if I'm still on time to send a tiny request I'd like to go for levi + fake relationship trope!! 💕

…

"please?"

"no."

you shoot levi a frown, one that’s supposed to make him feel bad, but based on your roommate’s unwavering glare, you’d say it’s unsuccessful.

he returns his focus to scrubbing the glass in his hand, but you’re at his shoulder before he can fully ignore you.

"look, i'm desperate," you plead.

levi lets out a dry laugh that holds anything but humor, "clearly, rude, and still no."

you huff and cross your arms in defense. all you’re asking is for is levi to pretend to be your boyfriend for one little night. your mother throws an annual dinner party during your monthly phone call, you’d panicked and told her you would be bringing a special someone this year.

it’s just to get her off my back, is what you told both yourself and levi, but the nausea in your stomach says otherwise.

"you don't even have to do anything,” you continue to argue. “just be tolerable and maybe hold my hand once or twice."

levi’s eyebrows raise in interest.

"oh, well when you put it that way,” he watches you perk up in excitement before ripping the bandaid off and returning to his blasé tone, “absolutely not."

"oh come on,” you obnoxiously groan. “i'm not that bad, am i?"

levi slows his movements as he grabs another dirty plate from the sink and begins to scrub calculated circles onto the glass.

in defeated silence, you grab the towel next to him and pluck the plate from his hands, drying it off and setting it aside with the other clean dinnerware.

the two of you get into a familiar pattern of washing and drying. and after a moment of stillness, levi speaks up.

"it's not you."

the faucet drips onto the soaking plates below and your eyebrows furrow in confusion.

"what is it, then?"

he sits on his answer for a moment before clearing his throat with a cough. "i'm not familiar with fake boyfriend etiquette," he claims.

you turn to face him, "levi, there's no such thing as fake boyfriend etiquette."

he ignores you and you place the towel back down onto the counter in frustration.

"come on, just for one night," you’re begging at this point, "and next month when my mom calls, i can say we broke up the next day."

a sour taste floods levi’s mouth at the thought of him meeting your mother under such tasteless conditions.

sure, he’d love to attend your family party with you, but not as your pretend boyfriend—as your roommate, then as your friend, and then maybe as your real boyfriend. what’s so hard about that?

"y'know, it'd be nice if i got to meet your mother and she didn't hate me for the rest of my life," he scoffs at the makeshift plan you seemed to have on deck.

you quietly laugh a bit at his dramatics before grabbing the soaked pan from his hand and setting it back down in the sink.

"don't you mean the rest of her life?" you tease.

"no," he retorts, "because at the rate this is going, i'll be dead from high blood pressure in a month, at most."

you shoot him a knowing look and he rolls his eyes in response.

his stomach churns when you lower your voice one final time, sincerity overflowing from your sweet request, "please?"

levi knows he’s going to agree eventually. hell, he knew he’d be going to this party as your fake boyfriend whether he wanted to or not the very moment you popped the question with a slight pout.

because he’d do anything you asked of him, including tasks far more advanced than whatever your roommate agreement laid out. so when you grab his wrist and look up at him with pleading eyes, he’s already planning which suit to wear to your mother’s house.

"fine."

#hiiiiii v thank you for requesting this!!!!#i feel like i haven’t written for aot in so long ???#but i shall always make an exception for you #and this reminded me that writing levi always has a special place in my heart <3 #levi x you #levi x reader #levi ackerman x you #levi ackerman x reader #levi fic #levi ackerman fic #levi fluff #levi ackerman fluff

Ao3.

Moonlight leaks in through a gap in the curtains. You roll over with a frustrated groan before sitting up in bed. You have trouble sleeping alone now since you’ve gotten used to having company at night. All For One still hasn’t returned home yet, despite it being after midnight. A cup of chamomile tea sounds lovely right about now. Hopefully it’ll help you sleep, or at least relax.

You toss the covers off of your body as you slide out the bed onto your feet, grabbing your robe to cover your nightshirt and your phone to use as a flashlight in the darker areas. No sound escapes Yoichi’s room when you pass it, nor does any light seep from underneath his closed door. He must be asleep already, or at least comfortable enough to be well on his way there, unlike you. Hours have passed since you first laid down yet you continue to stay conscious.

Turning the corner at the end of the hall, you notice a pool of light flooding into the otherwise dark hallway from the open door of the laundry room. What the hell? You only entertain the idea of a burglar in your home for one brief moment. After all, who the fuck breaks into someone else’s house to do laundry, let alone All For One’s? Even on accident, since surely no one’s that unlucky.

Water rushes from the faucet into the basin. You can hear someone cleaning something in the sink. By the sound of it, they’re not having much success. When they start swearing at a louder volume, the all-too-familiar voice clues you in on the identity of the speaker. So of course it comes as no surprise to lay eyes on All For One once you reach the threshold.

For one long moment, all you can do is watch him. Mostly you stare at the rippling muscles of his shoulders as he scrubs at a soiled white button down with mounting desperation. From the looks of it, it’s one you gifted him for his birthday, which explains everything yet also nothing. For one, why the fuck is he cleaning it by hand, or at ass o’clock? A perfectly serviceable washing machine sits less than five feet away. Half amused, you lean against the doorframe and cross your arms over your chest to see how long it takes him to notice your presence. As expected, he stiffens after only a moment, perhaps sensing you through the use of a Quirk, or perhaps through pure instinct. Either way, his shoulders creep toward his ears as if he expects some sort of confrontation.

“I see you’re awake, my treasure.”

You hum an acknowledgment without drifting closer. Something about him seems far too tense. You can’t quite put your finger on why. He almost exudes guilty vibes alongside an unnerving sort of anticipation.

“Why are you doing laundry at 1 AM?”

Instead of offering a direct answer right off the bat, he drops the poor garment he’s been scouring with a fucking scrub brush as if it personally snubbed him then insulted you afterward just for kicks.

“Forgive me for this disturbance, dear one, I didn't mean to wake you.”

Unbidden a snort forces its way out of you. You don’t know why he’s acting so weird. It’s not as if you caught him cheating on you. He’s being awfully suspicious.

“I gathered from the way you look like you think I’ll want to fistfight you if I see what you’re doing. So tell me, what’s the damage?”

All For One sighs, shoulders drooping, before he picks up the shirt you’d already seen him trying to clean. He turns to you with an honest to gods remorseful look, your gifted shirt in hand. The self proclaimed Demon King looks somber, as if someone died. You want to roll your eyes at his dramatics but refrain from doing so. All For One is shockingly sensitive for someone who rules the Japanese Underworld with an iron fist. Or at least, he’s sensitive to your emotions and opinions, and to Yoichi’s. He doesn’t give a single flying fuck about anyone else or their thoughts on a personal level. In a way, it’s touching. It should probably be terrifying, but you can only coo internally about how sweet it is of him.

…There’s something wrong with you, isn’t there?

“I regret to inform you that I believe I’ve ruined it,” he admits, though that’s not what catches your eye so much as how, now that his body isn’t blocking your view of the majority of the fabric, you can see just how far the brownish stains extend. Several seconds pass as you stare, going from unblinking to blinking five times in rapid succession as you try to process the sight before you. At first you thought it might have been mud, or maybe tea or coffee, but then it dawns on you that it’s fucking blood. Extensive bloodstains saturate the shirt in multiple large swaths. They’ve faded so that instead of a bright telltale red, it’s brown. Either it’s old, or All For One managed to lift the first few layers but the ones embedded deeper into the fabric won’t budge. Regardless, the blood obviously had time to settle. With the sheer volume of blood permeating the fabric, you think he’d have a better chance just trying to burn it while sopping wet as it is now than ever returning it to its previous pristine state.

“What the actual fuck, Haji-chan.”

His eyes drill a hole into you as he sets the shirt down again without sparing it another glance. He takes a step toward you, and only then do you notice the blood caking his torso. It must have seeped through his shirt onto his skin. Little pieces flake off as he crosses the short distance between you.

‘At least that blood will wash away’, you muse in morbid amusement.

Your attention returns to him when he stops just in front of you. He looks almost earnest. You still don’t quite understand why he continues to act off around you tonight. Now he radiates low-level anxiety mixed with dread. Again, what the fuck? Is he okay? Is he hurt?

“Someone attacked me and I had to defend myself. You understand, don’t you?”

Something in his voice begs you to say yes. You tip your head to the side, studying him with curious eyes. Seeing such a reaction seems to calm him somehow. A ‘blink and you’ll miss it’, minuscule, inexplicable shift in his demeanor takes place. As if all the concern drained out of him at once. His stance shifts to something more casual, his shoulders loosen and a genuine smile curves his lips. He no longer looks like he’s waiting for the other shoe to drop.

“Of course, my dragon. You had to do what you had to do. It was you or them, right?”

All For One laughs, any vestige of apprehension erased as if it never existed in the first place.

“I knew you’d see it my way.”

Despite the dried blood on his skin, you reach for him. You loop your fingers into his waistband and tug him closer. You do avoid touching his stomach or chest, though, so that you don’t get blood on your robe. You like this robe. It’s one of the first ones All For One ever gave you. Clusters of cartoon Siamese cats frolic across the light blue silk, each elegant feline immortalized in a play pose. It’d be a shame if it had to get tossed onto the fire too.

“Did you think I didn't know that you kill?”

His smile falters like someone poured a bucket of ice water over his head.

“I’m afraid I don’t know what you mean.”

He speaks with forced calm, and it’s then that you realize that the entire time you two stood here conversing, All For One stewed in silent unease because no, he didn’t think you knew, or maybe he thought you knew but assumed you thought he stopped on your behalf or had others do his dirty work for him. Whichever option fits the bill, apparently you’ve just shaken up his perspective. The white haired villain wears this unsettled expression, as if a fundamental facet of the universe turned on its head.

“Baby….you do realize you have a reputation?”

His face smooths over into a more neutral look.

“For giving or taking Quirks and opposing the government from the shadows, yes. For some of my other activities as well, I assume.”

“And for wiping out your enemies,” you add in a perhaps inappropriately light tone.

He lifts a hand as if to touch you, then seems to realize that suds still cling to it, along with traces of blood. He lowers it back to his side, fingers twitching.

“Wiping out my enemies,” he agrees quietly, assessing you with new eyes. “I kept that quiet. How did you find out about it?”

“I have my ways,” you respond, half teasing. It earns a genuine grin in response.

“Indeed you do. So you knew this entire time?”

“Of course I did. Why did you think I was so wary of you in the beginning?”

“I may have assumed you worried about me stealing your Quirk.”

Such an innocent—for him—response startles a laugh out of you. He frowns in confusion, as if he doesn’t understand what about having your Quirk stolen sounds funny. You don’t blame him for his reaction. You know he equates Quirks with power, and, well, he isn’t wrong, because even a non-physical Quirk like yours offers untold advantages in many situations, but it’s not that. It’s almost like Hermione getting her priorities screwed up, more worried about being expelled than killed. To All For One, someone taking the source of his power must sound like nightmare fuel on the best of days.

“Darling, when we first met I thought you wanted to kill me. My Quirk was my second priority when I thought I might die.”

All For One jolts as if from a physical blow.

“You thought I tracked you down to kill you?”

Huffing, you press your palms into his sides and splay your fingers across his lower back.

“At first, yes. I couldn’t figure out why else you’d specifically seek me out outside of a business deal besides considering me a threat. My Quirk isn’t one that would really interest you, so I thought I had somehow gotten in your way and that you wanted to remove me as an obstacle. We both know you’re ruthless.”

All resolve toward not touching you breaks as he hears the admission. He yoinks you into his chest and wraps his arms around you, then kisses the top of your head. You aren’t crazy about the dried blood residue getting all over you, but you allow it. The surge of protectiveness and possessiveness through the bond indicate that he needs this contact.

“I could never kill you. You’re mine.”

“But I wasn’t then. Not yet,” you argue.

“But I wanted you to be,” All For One confessed.

“Even the first time?”

“Even then. I saw you and knew I had to make you mine.”

You shiver at the suggestive tone.

“Why? I still don’t know why you pursued me.”

“Purely because you fascinated me.”

“Because I fascinated you?”

“You still do. You’ve always been such a curious little creature. You’re clever, you’re attractive, and you do good work. I wanted you on my side, and once we met, I wanted you.”

“So let me get this straight. You wanted to collect me because I was somehow interesting?”

At your incredulous tone, he tilts your chin up with his index finger to peer into your face.

“Do you not think of yourself as interesting, my little treasure?”

“Not anymore than anyone else, no.”

The half-dressed villain clicks his tongue.

“A pity, then.”

Your shoulder rolls in a shrug.

“I mean I’m honestly just not that special, and neither is my Quirk.”

Red eyes narrow in displeasure. The finger underneath your chin taps the tip of your nose in reprimand. All For One must disagree with your assessment. You couldn’t see how, though.

“Your Quirk is more dangerous than you give it credit for, dear one. It’s powerful in the right hands, and you’re creative enough to make it a versatile threat despite it not offering you a physical advantage over your opponents.”

“Whether that’s true or not, it’s just not as flashy or as strong as some others, and it’ll never allow me to be a heavy-hitter like them.”

Like you.

“A Quirk is not useful based solely on how obnoxiously its user can make themself known. No one sees your Quirk coming because of its subtlety, not because of any inherent weakness, and your mastery over it allows you to deal plenty of damage. You don’t need to emulate Superman to be impressive, little mate.”

You want to argue but he makes valid points. Instead of pressing further, you give him a reluctant nod. Once again he’s not wrong, not really. You have far too much Imposter Syndrome for someone who lives and works with All For One as a partner. If only you had the confidence of a mediocre white man.

“You’re right,” you relent, rolling your eyes when your concession makes a smirk bloom on All For One’s face. Insufferable fucking man that he is, he doesn’t bother to hide his smugness. He does so love his victories, no matter how small. It’s fetching on him, though, that expression. You could study his triumphant grin all night. He looks like a mischievous angel, deceptively angelic in his terrible beauty despite the devil lurking underneath near the surface. A dangerous combination.

“Of course I’m right, dear one.”

“Oh fuck off.”

“Never.”

You expel an exaggerated sigh, just glad he’s stopped being so bloody weird about a shirt. A shirt you can’t send to the dry cleaner’s or a professional laundress unless they work exclusively with Underworld clients, because fuck do you not want to explain just how that much blood contaminated a single shirt. Besides, literally no one’s that good. No one. Even bleach can only do so much, and there’s not enough bleach in the world to make that shirt white again.

“Anyway—don’t worry about ruining your shirt. It’s not a big deal. I’ll buy you another one.”

“You don’t think bleach—”

Speak of the devil.

“Oh, honey, no. There isn’t one strong enough.”

At that declaration, All For One has the decency to look chagrined. Honestly, what was he even thinking? Even if someone could expunge every last particle of blood from what used to be a shirt with a powerful enough bleach, what would it cost? You couldn’t think of a fair price for work of that magnitude. Calling it ‘ruined’ aptly describes it.

“What about industrial strength bleach?”

“…I won’t ask why you have some, but still no. No one has a bleach that good.”

*hold up microphone* mustache girl headcanons?

lived with her grandpa (coffee clerk) before invasion, hes doing okay still but only visits him nowadays because she doesn't want the goons to harass him over associating with her

more under the cut!

since a ton of timepieces had to be smashed to undo the finale, nobody remembers it aside from aside from hatbow, mu and the undead (as suggested by snatcher remembering her in a deathwish, although only vaguely, for time piece or personal reasons). the barrier to that memory is however very flimsy and as such the memories can be reaccessed if someone is made to specifically recall the events of that re-rewritten timeline, meaning it has to be more specific that a vague sense of deja vu

that means that the mafia wouldn't try to persecute mu any more than they usually do, meaning nobody is trying to hunt her down and hurt her for what shes done. and that if mu wants to, she can confess what she did to individual people, i think cookingcat could be the first person she confesses to because i think cc helped her get food a lot pre game events. cc is very far from as mad as mu thought he would be, in fact he really regrets getting heated and swayed by the mob and yelling for her to get lost with them.

I think post finale she first wanted to isolate but faced with the fact that she doesnt want to be alone (got scared when everyone started killing themselves) and gaining meaningful support from cc she decides to travel around and get to know the world. this leads to her developing a positive relationship with pretty much every major hatgame character!

I think she and snatcher have a lot in common and given snatcher makes certain realizations about herself she could become a very good source of support for mu. maybe those realizations come from talking with her. snatcher pretty much acts as a guardian of the forgotten or otherwise lost children and mu fits the definition quite well. I think given he recognizes her as in need of support, and that his words can make a difference, hed really like to tell her she shouldnt give up on herself. shes still allowed to live a life

I think at the same time as arctic cruise happens grooves hangs out with mu, i think hed be very kind to her and theyd grow pretty close!

shed also have a great time in alpine skyline :)

either has some very very distant relatives in subcon or is at least partially a descendant of subconians (or just one) who went to live on the island and integrated into its community with no issues

in finale she prevented the mafia from ever entering the island but that way the lava faucets were never installed and it like. ended up flooding the planet. thru video game logic. I dont stand by this as much as I used to but its fun so im writing it down

likes to have her hair done, and doing other peoples hair! its a great way to bond with her

Tough Plumbing Problems Made Easy With This Info

You've done it. You're ready to handle your home's plumbing maintenance and repair. What perfect timing! You probably have tons of questions on how to start and what to do, but fear not, this article can help you. Listed below are some tips that will help you get started with your plumbing aspirations. Avoid plumbing problems! Do not stop up the toilet! Some common items that will stop up a toilet include: toys, hair, paper towels, birth control items, and feminine personal products. Do not flush these items down your toilet - unless the instructions say otherwise! These can stop up your toilet - to the point that nothing else will work - except calling a plumber! As the weather begins to get cold, attend to all of your exposed pipes by adding insulation to them. Pay particular attention to pipes located in crawl spaces and the outside walls of your residence. Taking this step will help ensure that your pipes continue to function throughout the winter. To avoid clogs, pay attention to what you flush. Sanitary napkins, thick toilet paper and baby wipes should never be flushed. These items can expand and cause a clog, or get caught on a pipe. Instead, dispose of them in a sanitary way that does not involve flushing them down the toilet. Ensure that everyone in your household knows how to turn off the main water supply, or knows how to contact someone who can. In the event of a burst pipe or other water-related emergency, you should immediately turn off the water to prevent flooding, structural damage, and a sky-high water bill. Do not pour grease or oil down any of your household drains. Put them in containers and place in the fridge until they are solid, then throw them away. If you pour them down the drain, they can solidify in cold pipes. These solid masses will clog your pipes and are very difficult to remove. Check your gas water heater periodically to make sure the pilot flame is lit. The correct color for this flame should be blue. The tip of the flame should be yellow. If you find that you are only seeing a yellow flame, you may need to call a professional for safety reasons. If water is not coming to the dishwasher, you most likely have a blockage somewhere. You will need to turn off the water supply and remove the hose that leads to the dishwasher. After securing the hose, turn the water back on. See if it feeds into a bowl. If not, then you must find the block where it is at which may include removing more piping. If water backs up from one sink to another, it is because the lines are connected. The part of the branch line for one device might be higher than another, but most likely there is also a blockage in the branch line connecting the two devices as well. This blockage must be cleaned. In cold climate areas, sometimes the pipes in the plumbing system freeze. You can thaw them out without calling a plumber. Before beginning this process, open the faucet and begin thawing closest to the faucet and then move down the line as sections thaw out. One method you can use is to wrap the pipe with a heavy towel or burlap and then pour hot water over it, set a bucket underneath to catch the water. Do not be surprised if a plumber charges you more than you expected. Many customers think that fixing a toilet or other drainage problem should be easy, therefore the price should be low. You must remember that not only does a plumber have to charge for labor, but they have to charge for parts that you need. When you wash your hands, be sure that you have not left any soap on the faucet handles. What people do not know is that leaving soap on these fixtures can cause fixtures to corrode. Just take two seconds after you are done washing your hands to remove excess soap from the handles. Now you should be much more prepared when it comes to plumbing. If you thought that you were ready before, well you should now be an expert! The tips that were given should have provided you some advice that can help you get started with maintaining and fixing your own plumbing.

Find Out How Your Plumbing System Works

Part of your responsibilities as a homeowner is to take good care of your property. Otherwise, you'll say goodbye to your hard-earned money or see more of it go to waste. Aside from your appliances and furniture, your home's plumbing is also another important facet that you have to maintain. Your water heater should be flushed regularly. Your drains should be kept clean to prevent clogging. Foreign objects should not get flushed down the toilet in order to keep it in good condition. But do you know that aside from maintenance, knowing how the plumbing system works likewise provides great advantages? First of all, familiarity with it will allow you troubleshoot issues. Knowledge of the system plumber near me and its components will also help you perform DIY fixes, therefore saving you money on repairs and professional plumbing service fees. With that being said, let me share some basic information to describe how your plumbing works.

Your home plumbing is comprised of two subsystems: the clean water line and the sewage line. Obviously, the freshwater line is the one responsible for supplying your faucets, showers and toilets with clean water that you use for cleaning, cooking and taking a bath. Clean water comes from the main water lines of your provider; goes into your pipes and passes throughout the system with the help of pressure. The meter that's installed outside your house registers the amount of water that gets into your pipes. It is also important to know that there's a main shut off valve situated near the meter. Turn it off during emergencies such as when pipes burst to prevent flooding.

Now remember that only cold water comes from the main supply line. Hot water is delivered by your fixtures because of your hot water heater. What happens is that cold water gets into the tank of the heater; gets warmed up to about 120 degrees then comes out of your faucets and showers whenever you require it.

What to Know About Septic Tank Maintenance

A septic system includes the tank itself. For most homes that are around three bedrooms, a septic tank is, on average 1000 gallons. The septic system also includes a drain field or soil absorption field. A septic tank is responsible for digesting organic material and separating things that are floatable from solids in wastewater. Then, the liquid leaves the septic tank through a series of pipes in a leach field, and it’s then slowly released into the soil.

There are other types of septic tanks, but that’s the basic way it works.

If you have a septic tank, or you may have one in the future, there are some things to know about maintaining it, detailed below.

Frequently Inspect and Pump

For the average household with a septic system, it should be inspected at least every three years by a professional. A household tank will usually be pumped every three to five years, while alternative systems, such as those with mechanical components, need an annual inspection.

The factors that play a role in how often you should pump your septic system include the size of your household, how much wastewater you generate overall, the volume of solids in your wastewater, and the size of the septic tank.

When you contact a professional service provider who specializes in septic tanks, that person will inspect for leaks. They’ll also look at the sludge and scum layers in the tank.

Be Efficient with Your Water Use

The average household in a single-family living environment can use as much as 70 gallons of water per day per person. One running toilet or one leaky faucet can then add hundreds of gallons per day to that.

The water that your household puts down the pipes will end up in the septic system, so the more water you can conserve, the less water is going into your system.

If you can be efficient about water usage, it helps reduce the risk of issues with your septic system, and it improves its operation.

There are many ways that you can be more efficient about how you use water.

For example, don’t do all of your laundry in a day. Instead, spread out your washing because otherwise, you’re not giving your septic tank enough time to treat the waste, which can flood your drain field. You should also consider adding features like shower flow restrictors or high-efficiency showerheads to reduce how much water enters your septic system and replace your toilets with ones that are high-efficiency.

Maintain the Drainfield

Your drain field is a part of a septic system that removes any contaminants from liquid that comes from your tank, and it’s a critical part of your system.

To keep it in good shape, never drive or park on it, and make sure that you’re planting trees far enough away.

You want to keep any sump pumps or rainwater drainage systems away from the area because excess water can slow down or altogether stop the process of treating wastewater.

Be Careful with What’s Going Down the Drain

You need to be careful about everything being poured down the drain. There are certain materials that aren’t going to decompose easily, and that can negatively affect the helpful bacteria in your septic tank and drain field that breaks down organic matter.

Grease, liquid waste like household chemicals, coffee grounds, and oils shouldn’t go down your drain.

If you have a garbage disposal, be aware that using it often can mean you might have to pump your septic tank more frequently. Food waste can accumulate and turn into sludge and scum.

Other things that you shouldn’t let go down the drain or the toilet include:

· Cooking oil

· Feminine hygiene products

· Dental floss

· Diapers

· Cat litter

· Paper towels

Know What Household Features Are Going to Impact Your Septic System

Finally, there are certain appliances and features of your home that can negatively affect your septic system or mean that it’s going to require more maintenance.

One that was briefly touched on above is your washing machine. If you’re doing a lot of laundry, you’re increasing the risk of your septic system failing, but if you use an Energy Star washing machine, it can use as much as 45% less water than one that’s not.

If you have a standalone septic system, it’s not recommended that you use a garbage disposal at all, and hot tubs can also affect your septic system. Hot tub water has to be cooled and then drained onto a landscaped part of your property, away from your septic tank and drain field.

Maintain the Drainfield

Your drain field is a part of a septic system that removes any contaminants from liquid that comes from your tank, and it’s a critical part of your system.

You want to keep any sump pumps or rainwater drainage systems away from the area because excess water can slow down or altogether stop the process of treating wastewater.

Be Careful with What’s Going Down the Drain

Grease, liquid waste like household chemicals, coffee grounds, and oils shouldn’t go down your drain.

If you have a garbage disposal, be aware that using it often can mean you might have to pump your septic tank more frequently. Food waste can accumulate and turn into sludge and scum.

Other things that you shouldn’t let go down the drain or the toilet include:

· Cooking oil

· Feminine hygiene products

· Diapers

· Cat litter

· Paper towels

Know What Household Features Are Going to Impact Your Septic System

Finally, there are certain appliances and features of your home that can negatively affect your septic system or mean that it’s going to require more maintenance.

The tank is usually made from plastic, concrete or fiberglass material and holds a specific amount of sewage depending on its size. With that said, you have to remember that septic tanks may fill up to the brim and even overflow. When that happens, backups occur.
