The septic system is used for sewage disposal and wastewater collection in homes that do not connect to a public sewer line. It separates organic matter, including sludge and scum layers, from the liquid wastewater that enters the tank from household drains. The liquid waste is then discharged into the soil. The septic system is a reliable and safe alternative to the public sewer. It is important to maintain it properly through septic tank inspection and cleaning, as well as regular septic tank pumping service.
The first step of septic tank cleaning is an inspection of the tank and its surroundings. This includes locating the tank, uncovering access lids, and assessing the levels of sludge and scum. This helps to determine the septic tank cleaning needs and identify other issues that may need attention.
Common Septic System Issues and How to Fix Them
During the cleaning process, a vacuum truck removes the sludge and scum from the septic tank. This prevents blockages and ensures that the septic tank is functioning properly. Afterward, the lines to the tank are flushed with water to eliminate any remaining debris.
Performing proper maintenance on your septic system is the best way to extend its lifespan and reduce the risk of failure. It is also a great way to protect your family and the environment. By taking care of your septic system, you can minimize the risk of health problems, environmental damage, and costly repairs.
