SEPTIC TANK PUMPING - When and Why

Image
In the last four weeks, I have covered many different ways to care for or maintain your system.   Many items have been ways to be mindful on a day-to-day basis (water usage, care when flushing, and lateral maintenance).   However, one of the most important things you can do for your system is pump it regularly.   Here’s why… The diagram above shows what an average septic tank contains on a daily basis.   You will see sewage or wastewater comes in from the house, then liquid, sludge and scum get trapped in the tank, and finally wastewater that seeps to the laterals field. Though you may find all these components completely gross, it’s actually important that each are there in their respective amounts.   However, what’s most important is to regularly pump it out.   Just like you change the oil on your car to get the bad stuff out, your septic system needs the same type of care.   If the solids that collect at the botto...

So next on my list is the subject of TOILET PAPER. (Sorry, I couldn't resist a little toilet paper meme...) But honestly, don't we all want to talk about toilet paper?  Since you're still reading, I'm going to assume that's a yes... Though toilet paper may seem like a simple item of purchase that has no real effect on your life, it can lead to complicated situations if you live on a septic system.  When you live on septic you want to make sure you are not choosing the wrong kind of toilet paper Seriously?  The wrong toilet paper?  Is there such a thing? Yep. Allow me to explain.  Usually when a customer calls because their system is backing up, much of the time it is due to a clog in their sewer line or baffle area caused by toilet paper.  One of the first questions I ask a customer with thi...
