More than 60 million Americans use septic systems to dispose, filter and treat their household waste. These systems are designed on a house-by-house basis and work a bit differently than municipal sewer systems. The wastewater from your toilets, showers and sinks travels through drain pipes to a septic tank buried outside. When the waste reaches this large container, it begins to separate into distinct layers. The heaviest solids (called sludge) sink to the bottom, while the comparatively clear water layer called effluent rises to the top. Within the septic tank, naturally occurring bacteria digest and break down these solids. Read more :https://prosealsprayfoam.com/
What to Expect During a Septic Service Appointment with Busy Bee Septic
A septic tank should be pumped regularly to keep it functioning properly. The frequency of the pumping process depends on how much sewage is generated and whether or not a garbage disposal has been added. A general rule of thumb is that a septic tank should be pumped every three years for households without garbage disposals, and every year for those with them.
If you detect a bad odor coming from your septic system, it is important to have a professional inspect the situation as soon as possible. An unpleasant odor could indicate that the septic tank is overflowing or that there is an obstruction blocking flow through the system.
A septic tank should be inspected and pumped when the bottom of the floating scum layer is within six inches of the outlet pipe, or the top of the sunken sludge layer is within 12 inches of it. Keeping a detailed record of these measurements and scheduling service when necessary is an effective way to prevent waste buildup and keep your septic system functioning properly.
