Septic tanks are found in 25% of the homes in the United States. They have been used for years as a part of an effective system of getting rid and collecting waste water in a safe way. However, these septic tanks should be maintained through regular pumping, which empties them in the process. Regular septic tank inspection is also necessary to let us you know when the tank should be emptied. Usually, septic tanks are checked once in three years. Those that are made up of chemical components have to be checked more often. The inspection and pumping would likely be specified in the documentation of the septic tank system. When Septic Tanks Should Be Pumped There are several conditions that help determine how frequently your septic system should be pumped. If you ask professional plumbers, they can help give you an estimate on when your tank should be pumped and how to delay the time before the next pumping schedule. The main factors that determine when the septic tank needs pumping are the sludge and scum layers present in the tank. These will be known after an inspection is conducted. The size of the tank and the size of the property also affect the frequency of septic tank pumping. A septic tank that is too small for a house would likely be emptied more often. In most cases though, it is the number of people and the manner in which the septic tank is used that largely determine how often the septic tanks have to be pumped. The more people there are, the more waste water will go into the system. The way people use the septic system can be monitored and changed though to prolong the time between emptying the tank. It’s important to slow down in producing waste water and to be careful about which solids should be thrown into the septic tank. Signs that Septic Tank Needs Pumping Aside from getting an estimate from a plumbing company about when your septic tank has to be emptied after our inspection, you may also call them for help if you see the following signs that call for septic tank pumping: • Slower draining in toilets, sinks, and baths • Murky water in watercourse or ditch • Backed up sewage • Overflowing solids • An unpleasant odor from the sewage • A backed up system that went even beyond your drain inspection chambers • Surface flooding Disposal of Waste Water from Your Septic Tank Just as how there are septic tank systems in almost all of the homes in the US, there will always be open companies open for business when it comes to getting rid of sludge and scum in these houses’ tanks. They help you deal with overflowing sludge that does not only look messy but also presents a health hazard what with all the bacteria that have come up to the surface and the pollution that it would cause our groundwater. Good waste removal/plumbing companies provide their services with a pumping truck that removes all the waste in your tank. It’s important to ask them if they can assure you that we follow the strict federal laws about septic sludge dumping. They should dispose of the sludge and scum in waste treatment plants or other septage treatment facilities and make sure to dump them only in approved landfills. Another way of disposing septage is by using it as fertilizer to grow food. This is the type of fertilizer used on foods that don’t bear the “USDA Organic” label. This has become a controversial way of using septage, although some people would argue that it favors both the municipalities and the farmers. If you’re really curious about when your septic tank should probably be minted, make sure it gets regular inspection. Only then will you be warned if your tank is almost full and in need of septic tank pumping.
