The Importance of Septic Tank Pumping

As waste and wastewater leaves your household, it heads to the septic tank. Housed in the septic tank are vital good bacteria that break down solids into sludge while the liquid effluent is sent out into the drain field for further treatment. Your wastewater treatment system pumping becomes necessary when the sludge in the septic tank nears the outlet pipe that is designated for wastewater. Ignoring the sludge can lead to it entering the inlet and outlet pipes, clogging the flow of the system. Over time, you will experience sewage and wastewater backups followed by leaks and potential damage to the whole system. Dont wait until your wastewater treatment system breaks apart.

How Septic Tank Pumping Works

As mentioned earlier, waste and wastewater from your household is directed into the septic tank where bacteria and microorganisms break down solid waste and scum into dense sludge. The benefit of this process is to save room and extend the due date for a septic tank pumping. Once the septic tank nears its capacity, a technician will use a vacuum pump to pull the sludge from the tank into the tank truck to be safely disposed. Though the process is fairly simple, the necessary equipment is heavy and requires expertise. If you are ready for your septic tank pumping in Wake Forest, call Septic Blue today.
