Installing a septic system requires construction and operating permits issued by the local health department. We can obtain the proper permits for you, and will schedule a site visit by the local health inspector to determine whether the soil on your property is adequate for the project.
Larger septic tanks are more efficient than smaller ones are. While it may take longer for accumulated sludge to begin breaking down, once the process begins, they are more efficient and have lower operating and maintenance costs.
It’s time to have your septic tank pumped when: You see wet spots or standing puddles of black or gray water in your yard. You hear a gurgling noise from drains. You notice toilets and sinks drain slowly. You smell sewage odors inside or out.
Many homeowners do not pay attention to their septic tanks until problems arise, which often lead to costly repairs. Experts recommend having your tank pumped at least once every five years to keep your septic system running efficiently.
Most septic systems come with an alarm that will sound when something is wrong. It’s important that you do your best to be observant and regularly listen for any alarm sounds that might be coming from your septic pump. When pump and field problems are caught right away, this will help minimize the mess and cost associated with it.
Did you know that planting grass over your septic system helps keep the soil light and well aerated? Using a lawnmower over a leach field won't compact the soil, but avoid driving a truck or heavy machinery near your septic system.
One option when it comes to septic tanks is an elongated tank (with a length to width ratio of 3:1). Here, the depth of the tanks should be at least three feet below the outlet to prevent disturbance of the sludge layer. These tanks tend to be the most efficient in improving suspended solids removal.
Inadequate maintenance of your septic tank can cause sewage to back up into the house and solids to overflow to the drain field. Often, the drain field must be abandoned and a new one constructed when solids clog the soil.
Removal of underground storage tanks requires us to bring excavation equipment onto your property. We usually use a backhoe for the project, and we take extra care to leave your landscaping undisturbed during the removal process.
It's important to ensure you have enough bacteria in your septic tank because it's the bacteria that turns the solid waste into a liquid, which leaves your septic system as new wastewater enters the tank.
If you are just building your first home and need a septic, you may not even know what you don’t know about the process. There are many detailed requirements needed to meet local and state regulations, and failing to meet any of them can be an expensive issue that you don’t need.
In order for a septic system to function properly, bacteria must be present to digest the floating layer. You should only use detergents, cleaners, and solvents specially designed for septic systems to avoid inadvertently killing off the bacteria in the tank.
Often, biochemical processes common in nature also work to neutralize sewage on a large scale. Beneficial bacteria feed on organic compounds in sewage, hastening its decomposition. Most treatment methods rely at least partially on naturally occurring bacteria to process sewage.
Ever wonder how your septic system actually works? Right- few of us understand that. But an expert can explain the process to you, and they can help you find out how to prevent some of the major issues that can occur.
While it may be convenient to flush non-biodegradable and other hygiene products down the toilet, this isn't something that should be done. This is because such products can cause the septic tank to clog and may result in it rapidly filling up.
We recognize that you can only expect employees to remain at work when you’re able to provide them with a sanitary working environment. If your sewer line has been backing up more often than usual, you may want to call in a professional to take a look at things.
Have you been hesitant to contact a septic professional to pump your tank because your feel like you should be able to handle it yourself? Let’s talk about the dangers involved in pumping a septic tank and the type of experience necessary to be able to do it safely.
When installing a new inlet tee made from PVC, the bottom of the tee must be below the scum layer when the tank is filled to its normal level. If not, the tee will clog. In addition, the top of the pipe must be above the cover and clear of the scum layer.
So what is the “percolation rate” when it comes to septic field beds? This metric is used to calculate the amount of sewage that can be applied per square foot of leaching area. If the percolation rate is too slow, then a larger field area will be needed.
Twenty percent of U.S. homes are hooked up to septic systems. Care to guess how much wastewater is released by the nation's septic systems every 24 hours? If you guessed 4 billion gallons worth, you're right.
If you have a septic system and are planning landscape changes to your property after it is installed, take care to make sure the new design diverts rainwater away from the drain field. If the drain field is wet or soggy, it will not function correctly.
In order to ensure that your newly installed septic tank works for years to come, it’s important that certain things never enter your system. This includes both non-biodegradable materials and hazardous and toxic materials.
If you have a business that produces wastewater runoff, municipal regulations are quite strict about containment and disposal. We can help you plan a wastewater collection system, and arrange for safe disposal of the liquid.
A general rule of thumb is that a septic tank needs to be pumped when the sludge layer has built up to within 25 to 33 percent of the liquid capacity of the tank, Regular inspections can help you determine the right pumping schedule for your system.
In 18th century England, the water closed (or flush toilet) became a popular convenience. Sewer technology didn't catch up for a while, though. By the 1900, raw sewage in the form of large, open cesspools became a big pollution problem -- and smelled pretty awful, too.
If your septic tank is equipped with an alarm indicating when the tank needs to be pumped, remember that this isn’t a fail-safe. The alarm will need to be tested periodically to make sure it is functioning properly.
There are few things more distasteful than having a septic backup in your yard. Sadly, it does happen- but you can help avoid it by finding out what the requirements are for keeping your particular system in good working order. And a septic expert can help with that.
