The Role of Your Septic System
Septic tanks are large underground containers, mostly made of concrete, used as sedimentation grounds for wastewater. The natural process involves the wastewater from your home flowing in through an inlet pipe and then taking some hours to settle and separate. The heavy solids and human waste settle at the bottom to form the sludge, while the liquid wastewater exits to a drain field.
This process takes several hours and continues naturally. Most homes in rural areas have septic tanks, but those in the cities use the sewage lines installed by the water supplier in the area. This unit ensures that your home does not get sewage backup and all the wastewater gets disposed of properly.
Common Septic Issues
A septic tank may develop issues if not well maintained. Some of the common things that our experts encounter when checking septic tanks include:
Clogs due to non-biodegradable items
Harsh chemicals
Tree roots intrusion
Drain field damage
Lack of routine maintenance
Why Septic Installation Should Be Left to the Pros
With the crucial role that septic tanks play, you should not leave the fate of your system to untrained people. Our experts will be sure that we fix all the pipes appropriately to guarantee undisrupted wastewater flow. Due to unprofessional installation, your system may develop issues such as leaks within a short time. This may cause significant inconveniences to your home or the building’s residents.
