If it's been a couple of years (or more) since your last pump out, here are some indicators that your systems needs attention. If you hear gurgling in your drains, or if your toilets, sinks or tubs are draining slower than normal, you will need a pump out soon. The septic system in your business or home operates like a small-scale water treatment plant. Regular maintenance is important to prevent environmental contamination and to ensure you get the maximum life out of your system. We carry several products that will help maintain your system and keep it running hassle-free for as long as possible.
A buried watertight container made of concrete, fiberglass or plastic, your septic tank is effectively a small-scale sewage treatment system, used when your home or business cannot be connected to main sewer pipes. Its main function is to hold wastewater long enough to allow solids to settle, while oil and grease float to the surface. A partial breakdown of the solid materials occurs, where they decompose and turn into sludge. This sludge must be pumped from the tank at regular intervals to insure the continued efficiency of the entire septic system.
