Understanding Septic Tanks
If you have a septic system on your property, understanding how the system works and committing to taking good care of it can help you avoid not only the need for repair, but to prevent the contaminants inside the tank from leaching out and polluting the groundwater. As with many other aspects of property ownership, preventive maintenance is key to helping prevent minor problems from developing into full-blown emergencies. If you know what to look for, you can spot some of the earliest warning signs that your septic system is starting to fail.
Septic tanks often suffer from the problems as regular pipelines do, and these symptoms include:
At Speedy Rooter, we will be able to reverse these symptoms quickly with our experience and equipment. Many septic system owners have the common misconception that they don’t need to pump out their tanks until there is a problem with their system, however, because septic tanks fill up with use, most tanks require pumping every two to three years to keep them sanitary and functioning properly.
As the septic system is used, over time solid materials form a sludge layer on the bottom of the tank. At the same time, less dense materials, such as grease, float to the surface of the septic tank as scum. Regular pumping helps prevent toxic waste from escaping the tank and leaching into the surrounding soil. If the waste saturates the soil to the point that it can no longer absorb liquid, bacteria-filled wastewater will bubble to the surface, where it becomes a major health concern.
If you see liquid seeping over the ground surface near any part of the septic system, or excessively lush greenery growth around the septic tank, those are indicators of waste overflow. Speedy Rooter’s professionals will pump out your septic tank and make sure all the waste is properly processed at an approved treatment facility to avoid any environmental risks. We can also inspect your septic system for signs of leaks or any other problems.
