Septic tank pumping is one of the most important services that a home owner can have performed. Without regular septic tank pumping, solid wastes accumulate within the tank and can overflow into the drain field, causing blockages and other costly problems. Having the septic tank pumped regularly helps prevent these issues and keeps your house functioning more smoothly. Read more: Busy Bee Septic and Excavating LLC
Preventative Measures for Septic Tank Health
As household wastewater enters the septic tank, heavier solid waste sinks to the bottom of the tank while lighter materials such as sewage and toilet paper float to the top. The septic tank is designed to separate the solids from the liquid wastewater (called effluent), which is then distributed throughout the soil absorption field through a series of porous pipes bedded in gravel. In the soil absorption field, natural bacterial action further treats the wastewater before it seeps into groundwater supplies.
The most obvious sign that a septic system needs to be pumped is slow draining fixtures. Toilets and bathtubs may seem to drain sluggishly or with a strong odor that seems like sewage is backing up into the home. A septic tank filled with septage can also emit stinky and noxious fumes that are unhealthy to breathe, especially for children and pets.
While some people attempt to clean their septic tanks themselves, this is typically a job that should be left to the professionals. In addition to being a dangerous task, it is also expensive and time-consuming. In the long run, homeowners who choose to perform septic tank cleaning themselves often end up spending more money in the form of repairs and replacement parts than they would have spent on professional septic tank pumping and cleaning services.
