About Septic Pumping & Cleaning Process |
|
We specialize in
conventional systems,
mound systems and holding
tanks.
When we clean
your septic system, we first pump all waste from your tank using a method
called back flushing. Back flushing is the process of cleaning your tank
using vacuum suction and injecting water into the tank to break up the
scum layer so as to be sure we have removed the scum and sludge from your
tank.
The septic tank
should be pumped through the larger manhole, not the baffle inspection
ports. A septic tank cannot be thoroughly cleaned through the baffle
ports. If cleaning is attempted through the baffles, small holes may be
damaged in the process. This may have several significant consequences on
your septic system's operation.

Septic Tank
Maintenance:
Following these
guidelines below and observing the warning signs will help to ensure a
long-lasting sewage system. Avoid expensive repairs or replacements and
protect everyone's water supply. Do Not Wait until your septic system
shows signs of failure to have your septic tank pumped out! Waiting can
mean complete clogging & an expensive septic system repair bill. Periodic
septic tank pumping is far less costly, then septic tank repair, or
replacing the entire septic tank system.

Septic Tank Maintenance
and Warning Signs:
1. Have the septic tank pumped out
every two to three years. This will remove the accumulated sludge
and scum which would other wise reach the tile field and cause
blockage resulting in a malfunctioning sewage system and costly
repairs. This is the single most
effective means of ensuring a long-lasting sewage system.
2. Practice
water conservation - It's one of our most valuable resources!
3. Use soaps and detergents
which are low in phosphates.
4. Do not flush hazardous
chemicals such as paints, varnish, thinners, waste oil, pesticides,
photographic solutions, coffee grinds,
dental floss, disposable diapers, kitty litter, sanitary
napkins, tampons, cigarette butts,
condoms, fat, grease or oil, paper towels, etc.
5. Commercial septic tank
additives are not necessary and not recommended.
Watch for these warning signs:
* Sewage surfacing over the tile field
* Sewage back-up in the house
* Mushy ground or greener
grass
* Slow draining toilet or
other drains
* Sewage odors
Many homeowners don't know where their
septic tank is. Call Us! We Can Help!
The tank is buried and forgotten, along with the rest of
the
system, until sewage is ankle deep in the yard or house. Regular
maintenance
of your septic system is necessary to ensure
it's proper operation by pumping and using a bacterial additive.
Remember that the septic tank is a settling
tank which collects and stores sewage solids. When the storage gets full,
the tank must be
cleaned and pumped. Typically, the average
household should consider having their tank pumped every 2 to 5 years, for
proper operation.
