☀️🎉 Septic Myth Monday: "Summer Parties and Your Septic System" 🏡💧 Hey Myth Busters! 🌟 With summer parties and gatherings in full swing, let's talk about how to keep your septic system running smoothly during these fun events. 🍔🎈 The Myth: Hosting summer parties won't affect my septic system. The Truth: While enjoying Nebraska's beautiful weather and hosting summer gatherings, keep in mind that more people mean more waste going into your septic system. Too much waste can cause clogs or other septic problems. To avoid issues, it’s wise to have your septic tank pumped before entertaining large groups. 🚽🚫 The Better Alternative: Pump Before Parties: Schedule a septic tank pump before hosting large gatherings to ensure your system can handle the increased load. 🛠️✅ Inform Guests: Let guests know the general guidelines for homes with septic systems. Post a note listing items that should not be flushed, so guests unfamiliar with septic systems don’t inadvertently cause issues. 📋🚽 📞 Need Help or Advice? Call us at: 308-210-4410 Visit our website: https://lnkd.in/gZTabAPq Enjoy your summer parties without the worry of septic issues.

🇺🇸 Happy (almost) 4th of July, everyone! 🎆 As we come together to celebrate Independence Day, let’s make sure we have a fun and safe holiday. Here are some tips to keep in mind: 1) Fireworks Safety: Only use legal fireworks and follow all local laws. Keep a bucket of water or a hose nearby, and never relight a dud firework. 2) Grill with Care: Make sure your grill is on a flat surface away from structures, and never leave it unattended. Keep children and pets away from the grill area. 3) Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water, especially if you’re spending time outdoors. Remember to apply sunscreen regularly to protect your skin. 4) Responsible Drinking: If you’re drinking alcohol, do so responsibly. Never drink and drive – designate a sober driver or use a rideshare service. 5) Pet Safety: Fireworks can be scary for pets. Keep them indoors and create a safe, quiet space for them to relax. 6) First Aid Kit: Have a basic first aid kit on hand for any minor injuries or accidents. Let’s enjoy the festivities while looking out for one another. And if your neighbors party a little too loud, hard, and long this week, contact me to help you have new ones by this time next year! Have a spectacular and safe 4th of July! 🇺🇸🎇 #Happy4th #IndependenceDay #StaySafe #realestate #HoustonRealEstate #NextHome #NextHomeRealtyCenter
