A septic system can fail for different reasons. For example, your septic system has four main parts: the tank, the pipe that connects to your home, the drain field, and the soil around it. The septic system could be compromised if something happens to any of these four components. Additionally, your septic system is only equipped to receive toilet paper, water, and human waste because the bacteria can break them down in the tank. Unaware homeowners and visitors, however, may flush or pour things down the drain that appear harmless but clog the pipes or disrupt the microorganisms. For instance, flushing paper towels, cotton products, cigarette butts, feminine products, diapers, and even "flushable wipes" can all result in physical blockages in a septic system, since bacteria cannot break these items down.
