Just because it seems like all systems are operating smoothly, that does not mean you can neglect having the septic tank pumped. In fact, if you cannot recall the last time it was serviced you could be headed for trouble.

To protect your septic system, never flush anything besides toilet paper. Other items like tissues, tampons, sanitary napkins, paper towels, and other paper product may seem innocuous but can actually cause a lot of damage.

Most of us don’t like to think about what goes into our septic tanks beyond the bare necessity that it’s there. A good septic pumping professional can make it possible for you to do just that if you keep to a regular routine of upkeep.

Ever wonder what happens in the septic tank? Here, solids from a home’s wastewater (known as sludge) settles to the bottom, while floatable materials (scum) float to the tip. The middle layer contains liquid wastewater, which exits the tank into a buried drainfield, while bacteria works to break down the rest.

Pumping your septic tank on a regular basis is one good way to ensure that your system will work well no matter how much company you may have. Why not have yours checked out before your next family gathering?

Without regular septic pumping, your system will end up overflowing. This can cause significant damage, not only to the system itself, but it can also contaminate groundwater, cause serious health hazards, and even lower the value of your property.

In a septic tank system, the sludge and scum remain in the tank where naturally occurring bacteria work to break them down. However, the bacteria isn’t able to completely break down everything, which is why septic tanks needs to be pumped periodically.

Even with a well-functioning septic system and good drain field, the sludge and scum layers in your tank will build up over time. They will need to be pumped out periodically to keep your septic system working in peak condition.

Measuring the scum and sludge layers in your septic tank should be left to professionals. There are so many things that can go wrong, including poisoning from methane gas or falling into the tank, that safety should be the first priority.

There are several indications (or red flags, if you will) that a septic system may have a clog and needs immediate servicing. This includes occasional bad odors coming out of plumbing fixtures and slowly draining or gurgling fixtures.

If the area where your septic tank is buried has been flooded, it is a good idea to wait until the water table has lowered before pumping the tank. If the ground is saturated, pumping the tank could cause it to be dislodged by the raised water table.

Septic messes are one of every home owner’s top nightmare scenarios. That’s why it’s so important to ensure that your system is pumped regularly and that you maintain it according to the directions for your system.
