Living in a home means handling a multitude of various things. On any given day, multiple of the countless aspects of home ownership can arise and force you to deal with.

We have been delivering septic tank cleaning services to the people of Lookout Mountain since 1970.

Understanding Your Septic Tank

If you ever take a moment to reflect about it, every person produces a significant amount of waste, and quite a bit of that waste is sent down different drains in your home. Your sinks, toilets, bathtubs, showers, and washing machines all produce various kinds of waste, and all of it is channeled through a pipe to a single destination. That spot is your septic tank. Your septic tank takes care of the entire household’s waste load, which can accumulate rapidly when you consider all the times in a day your toilets flush, your showers run, and your sinks and washing machines drain.

The septic tank takes in this waste from the pipe in your home where the solids settle to the bottom. The liquid is dispersed onto your property underground through the field lines where the naturally occurring bacteria in the soil purifies the effluent, ultimately merging with the groundwater. The solid waste is stored in the septic tank where enzymes and bacteria digest it into sludge. This sludge accumulates over time, and eventually, your tank will fill. This is when it’s time for septic tank cleaning. In addition, septic tank cleaning is a good idea for obvious environmental reasons.

Indicators Your Septic Tank Needs Attention

If you haven’t had a septic tank pumping service done on your home for some time now, you should watch for the following warning signs that your tank may need pumping: Vibrant green patches are showing up on your lawn. Your toilets and/or tubs make odd noises when you attempt to flush or drain them. You’re noticing an odor around your home, particularly where there are drains. Any of these signs could suggest that your septic tank may need pumping. Even if you don’t detect any of these potential problems, you should still schedule a pumping if it’s been awhile since it was last done.
