Septic service play a vital role in keeping the wastewater system in your home clean and functioning properly. Regular cleaning and pumping prevents environmental pollution, plumbing problems and disease outbreaks. A professional septic service company can inspect the septic tank with cameras to find any minor and major issues that could affect the entire septic system.

What is a Septic Tank?

Wastewater flows from your toilets, tubs, sinks and washing machines to the septic tank. This is a concrete or fiberglass water tight container that is buried underground close to the house. Inside the septic tank, the wastewater is separated into three parts; heavy solids that settle at the bottom of the septic tank, grease and fat called floatables that float up to the top of the septic tank and clear liquid waste that flows out of the septic tank.

Your septic tank should be pumped at least once every three years, or more often depending on the size of your household and the amount of water used. The septic tank must be emptied of the solid waste and floatables to prevent the buildup of sludge and clogs, which can lead to backups and overflows.

A professional septic system service can inspect the septic tank with cameras and recommend a schedule for regular pumping. Avoiding common septic system mistakes can help extend the life of your septic tank and reduce the cost of septic services.
