The dream of moving away from the city or suburbs to a rural area with all that space, quiet and stars to see is very appealing. However, before you get too far into that dream, it is important to think about all that goes with septic tank system septic tanks in these areas.

If you have a septic system in your home, the proper care and maintenance of it is essential to your family’s health and the environment as well. One important task that must be completed regularly is septic tank pumping. A septic tank is a buried container that holds wastewater from your home. Solid waste, such as toilet paper and towels, settles to the bottom forming sludge while oil and other liquid wastes float to the top of the tank. Compartments and a T-shaped outlet prevent the sludge and scum from leaving the tank and traveling to your septic system’s drain field, where it can cause expensive clogs and environmental contamination.

Pumping involves a professional service provider inserting a large vacuum hose into the access port at your septic tank and sucking up the liquid and floating wastes. Before they begin, they will inspect the septic tank for damage or signs of problems that may be present. They will also check the inlet and outlet baffles to ensure they are in good condition.

Once the septic tank is pumped, the service provider will replace the access lid and possibly install a riser for easier future upkeep. They will then discard the sludge and scum properly, often in an environmentally safe way.
