How Septic Tank Pumping Works

0 Comments

The best way to prevent expensive and dangerous septic system backups is to get your tank pumped regularly. Whether you are a homeowner or an industrial property owner, regular septic tank pumping and cleaning will keep your plumbing running efficiently and protect your property from sewage leaks.

When a septic system works, liquid waste goes down the drains and through porous pipes that lead to the leach field. Here, the waste breaks down with the aid of anaerobic bacteria and is dispersed into the soil. Solids that don’t break down will collect in the septic tank and eventually make their way to the leach field, where they can clog the pipe.

Understanding the Septic Tank Pumping Process

Over time, septic tanks will need to be pumped when the solids at the bottom of the tank are full or nearly so. This means there’s almost no space left for the bacteria to do their job. If the solids don’t get pumped, they will end up in the leach field, where they can contaminate groundwater supplies with pathogens and other toxins.

It’s important to understand the basics of septic company and how it works to schedule service appropriately. When you need your septic tank pumped, someone will come out and use a giant hose to suck up the liquid and solid contents of your septic tank. This will clear out the sludge and free up space to keep sludge from settling and causing big problems in the future.
