septic tank system

A failing system is not like your car when it is low on oil, NO RED LIGHT will go on to warn you. The U.S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare Public Health Service states: "A septic tank system will serve a home satisfactorily only if it is properly designed, installed, and adequately maintained. Even a good system which does not have proper care and attention may become a nuisance and a burdensome expense. Remember, a septic tank-soil absorption system which does not function properly frequently becomes a neighborhood health hazard. To obtain satisfactory service, the homeowner must know something about the design, operation and maintenance of his own septic tank system." The same holds true for grease traps, drains, and other waste treatment systems. You have a large investment in your system, protect your investment by treating it with care. You will avoid problems by giving your system the proper car it needs.

The biodegradability process is effective at reducing the buildup in pipes, it helps to reduce solids in the septic tank and soil absorption area, plus reduces grease buildup in grease traps. Many harsh chemicals will kill off the biological activity within your systems. Kitchen cleaners, floor cleaners, dish soaps, laundry detergents, and hand soaps all do damage to the biological environment within drains, grease traps, and septic systems. Other materials can cause a kill off of biological activities including chlorine bleaches, anti-biotic drugs, and chemical drain openers. That is why it is recommended to replace these natural enzymes and bacteria on a regular basis to keep the biological activity strong within your system. Each conveniently packaged treatment contains enzymes and billions of bacteria which go to work immediately to restore the biological activity!

Grease and its disposal are one of the biggest problems facing most restaurant and food service facilities today. Hot water dissolves kitchen grease and deposits it in the water. This material then attaches itself to the interior surface of the pipes. If you don't clean out the grease and food buildup it will cause foul odors, slow drainage and eventual stoppage. Grease traps are designed to intercept and hold grease before it gets to the municipal sewer line or your septic tank system. If designed properly, grease traps should be of adequate size to handle the grease flow.

In the drain field the enzymes and bacteria continue to work helping to reduce glazing and improve soil absorption in the drain field. Septic systems are designed to work indefinitely if they are properly installed and maintained. It is critical to have your septic tank pumped out on a regular schedule and to maintain proper levels of enzyme and bacteria action within the septic tank and drain field.

A septic system is an on-site sewage treatment and disposal system buried underground. It is composed of a septic tank and a soil absorption area. The modern septic tank is a water-tight box usually made of reinforced pre-cast concrete or reinforced fiberglass, through which no natural bacteria are able to enter. This structure is where organic solids are decomposed by a natural enzymatic bacteria process. The treated effluent flows out into the drain field where it percolates the soil.
