Septic Tanks

It is imperative to maintain any system to stop it from malfunctioning. Similarly, maintenance of your septic tank system is very essential to have a smooth drainage system. It ensures efficient service as well as well as reduces sudden expenses for replacement. Every septic tank has a maximum limit of waste and daily sewage flow it can handle. Exceeding the limit regularly can overload the system and often causes the system to fail. The system accepts newer waste materials faster than getting rid of the old ones. This causes the drainage system to become saturated.

Regular pumping and inspection of the septic tank is important to keep the system in good working order. The time difference between pumping is totally daily sewage flow and the wastewater characteristics. While most tanks only require pumping every 2-3 years it is very common to need pumping on an annual basis. Failure to pump a septic tank when needed can result in solid waste and/or grease overflowing into the drain files which will cause it to clog and stop working properly. It requires special equipment and trained personal to properly drain and inspect a septic tank. Which is why this work should only be done by professionals.
