What Is Septic Tank Pumping?
Busy Bee Septic and Excavating LLC is the process of removing the accumulated solid waste and sludge from the septic tank. During the process, a professional service uses specialized equipment to suck out the contents of your septic system, preventing blockages and maintaining proper functionality.
Your septic tank holds both slowly biodegradable organic solids such as human feces, as well as non-biodegradable solids such as toilet paper and plastic. These solids settle at the bottom of your septic tank and can build up, restricting the amount of space available for new wastewater to enter. This can lead to clogged drains, sewage back-up into your home, and the eventual failure of your septic system.
Septic Tank Pumping: DIY vs. Professional Services
In addition, bacteria in the septic tank break down only about half of the solid materials. This means that a steady increase in solids will occur over time, leading to the need for frequent septic tank pumping. As the septic system fails, solids can enter the soil absorption field and cause a clog, leading to sewage backup into your home and water run-off into nearby water bodies such as creeks and rivers, or tainting groundwater.
Keeping your septic tank pumped prevents this from happening, but the best way to do that is to have it pumped on schedule and not wait for it to reach capacity. This will save you money in the long run, as paying to have a septic tank pumped more often than needed is simply a waste of your hard-earned money.
