Regular pumping intervals are a crucial step in the waste water treatment cycle. Pumping allows sludge, debris and dead bacteria to be removed from the septic system, paving the way for new, healthy bacteria to colonize.
Inspection of your tank(s), absorption area and related components is highly important. All components need to be functioning properly in order to add longevity to your system. Every pumping includes a free 20 point inspection Click here to learn about our 20 point inspection.
Some systems are equipped with an effluent filter, this is usually found in the second compartment of your tank, or the second tank if applicable. The effluent filter catches particles that have made there way through the treatment tanks and into the outflow baffle. These particles typically consist of seeds, foreign matter, lint, grease, and sludge particles. It is very important to keep the effluent filter clean, or else there could be sewage back up.
