Septic Tank & Treatment.

Septic tank stores water waste from your household in an underground tank, composed of solid sludge in the bottom and oil/grease floats on the top.

The chamber compartments are T-shaped which prevents sludge from draining out of the tank and only allows effluent to exit the tank to the drain field. 

If a drain field is saturated/overloaded then it creates sewage to flow on the ground surface and eventually creates backups in sinks/toilets. 

Make a habit to flush human waste and toilet paper only.

Never flush :

• Paper towels.

• diapers.

• wipes or baby wipes.

• Coffee grounds.

• condoms/dental floss.

• Gasoline, pesticides, paint, oil.

• Cigarette butts.

• Cat litter.

• Feminine hygiene items. 

Typically concrete-made septic tanks last for 50-plus years. 

In general, a septic tank should be pumped every three to five years and inspection should be done between 1-3 years.
