There are many elements of homes and buildings that often go unnoticed or aren’t regularly maintained, yet these components are critically important.

Specifically, they must be cleaned on a regular basis. If you live in Glencoe, it is essential to choose a professional service provider that knows how to manage septic cleaning so you don’t have to worry about it. You should work with Glencoe Plumbing Services.

What Is the Purpose of a Septic Tank?

In any household, waste from daily activities needs to go somewhere, as simply discarding it outside isn’t an option. Drains from fixtures funnel to a central pipe that carries the waste to the septic system. Once in the tank, works to separate the solid from the liquid. The separated liquid moves through pipes to the field lines where it is naturally treated further before filtering through the ground and reaching the groundwater. The remaining solid material is collected in the bottom of the tank and decomposition occurs in the confines of the tank. Microbes and enzymes present in the waste help decompose the solid waste until it’s basically sludge. Over time, the sludge level increases to a point where effective separation ceases. Before it’s completely filled, the septic tank needs cleaning to prevent sludge from getting into the field lines.

Signs Your Septic Tank is Full

All septic tanks will eventually become full of sludge, and indicators that your tank is full include: odors coming from your fixtures, your lawn becomes abnormally green near the tank, water pooling on your property. Eventually, the worst sign that the tank needs attention is backed-up sewage in your property.
