Most people don't need to worry about a septic tank because they live in an urban area that has water and sewer services provided by their local government and utilities. But people who live in the country or just outside of city limits are either very used to the idea of their own septic system or very surprised to learn they need to bother with it. Even in some small towns individual sewage systems are required.
Our company specializes in septic system maintenance
Septic tanks are just one part of the entire septic system, which is designed to store the eliminated wastewater from your home. This includes everything from your sink water to toilet flushing. If you're part of the city utilities you often take for granted that when you flush the toilet you'll never have to deal with it again. But with your own septic tank you have to maintain it and watch for any possible problems. It's not a hands-off situation.
Over time the stuff collected settles into a kind of sludgy material and it can build up causing no where for the new deposits to land. You need to either clean out your tank completely every few years (depending on the size of your household) or continuously maintain it with a natural digestive agent to reduce the amount of sludge buildup.
The natural byproduct of the digestion of this built up material is a foul odor. If you notice that your washing machine, dishwasher, garbage disposal or even bathtubs and sinks are giving off a rotten smell then you likely have either a clogged drain or plugged tank lines.
Why would a small town still require the use of septic tanks ? It is expensive to put in formal sewer lines. If the town is small enough and the budget just isn't there, it's much less expensive to have the homeowners put in their own septic systems. It puts the burden of responsibility onto the homeowner instead of the municipality. It's not ideal for the homeowner so once the developments reach a certain size they tend to install regular sewer lines. That's why larger towns and cities all have them in the United States.
Septic tanks are usually made of concrete and occasionally fiberglass. They are designed to hold a lot of waste and common household products such as everyday cleaners and bleaches are just fine. You generally do not have to change anything about your daily life when you have your own septic system other than remembering to do regular maintenance for it on schedule and knowing who to call if there is a problem and you're uncertain how to handle it.
Products & Services
The technicians at Affordable Vacuum Service provide their knowledgeable services to a wide range of septic tank, sand trap pumping, and grease trap systems. We also haul non-chemical, non-hazardous waste water. Here at Affordable Vacuums we are dedicated to customer service.
Tip: Get guidelines on how often to pump your tank. If you have a 1500 gallon tank for a family of 4, you'll want to pump it every four years or so.
Tip: Use a septic safe garbage disposal and use it as little as possible. Families with these units pump their tanks at least twice as often. Put as much as you can in the trash.
Suggestion: Adding bacteria is an option, but they can't eat a lot of solid waste like sand, gravel and plastic (or other misc things flushed down there). And it's been stated that old bacteria just tends to eat the new bacteria anyway. For more details contact AAA Affordable Vacuum Service.
The concept behind this information is to help you to answer some preventative type questions about your septic system by showing you 5 things you will need to avoid, why avoid them and what you must do alternatively if you need to prevent certain problems with your septic tank.
Here are the 5 things you need to avoid:
1. Excessive dumping of cooking oils and grease. The main reasons that you shouldn't do that are they cause the inlet drains to block. These things are very difficult to degrade and can cause odors and problems with occasion emptying. A much better alternative might be to throw those in the trash or garbage instead.
2. Don't put things down your drains or toilets that don't degrade. The best reason for this is that Non bio degradable items like feminine products will just clog everything up and fill up the tank.. As an alternative, you would be better off if you just threw those in the trash, too.
3. Don't build playgrounds or structures on top of the tank. That is a matter of safety for the people who use them as they can cause a rupture of the tank. Instead you must build those buildings on another part of your property.
4. Don't use a standard garbage disposal system. The key reason why this can be a blunder is garbage disposal systems that are rated for general use don't grind up the material fine enough. Instead you really ought to buy one that is made specifically for septic systems.
5. Don't overload the system with excessive water. It's sometimes hard to avoid this but if you get too much water going through the system it will overload and fail. Instead, keep in mind that you should always check for leaks and fix them quickly. Don't let toilets run, etc.
Be sure to stay away from the 5 errors discussed above, take the alternative suggestions offered if you wish, but in any case steer clear of the errors, and your chances for ultimate success will be very much enhanced.

It's not the fun part of ownership, but a typical septic tank should be fully pumped out every three to five years. This will ensure optimal performance and reduce repairs. |
