Septic systems are essential to a clean, healthy home, but they need regular maintenance and septic tank pumping to function properly. Failure to do so can lead to clogged drains and system failure. A septic tank is a sealed, precast concrete box that holds waste water from toilets, showers, and washing machines. Microbes in the soil treat this wastewater. It travels to the septic tank from household plumbing and then into the drain field, where it goes into the ground.
Grease trap cleaning tank pumping removes the accumulated sludge and scum from the septic tank. The septic tank needs to be pumped before the solids in the sludge layer and scum line begin to clog the drain pipe that leads to the leach field or drain field area. A professional septic service technician will advise when the tank needs to be pumped.
Some signs that you need septic tank cleaning or pumping include slow-draining sinks, toilets and bathtubs. Foul odors near the septic tank or drain field can also indicate a septic system problem.
Common Septic Tank Problems and How to Avoid Them
Keeping the septic system in good condition can reduce the frequency of septic tank pumping and help prevent septic system problems. Use water-conserving devices in faucets, showerheads and appliances, repair leaking toilets and washing machine hoses, and only run large loads of laundry or dishwashers at one time. Do not park or drive heavy vehicles or equipment over the septic system, and do not plant trees or shrubs too close to the drain field.
