Pelham Plumbing Services – Pelham Septic Tank Repair and Cleaning

Living in a home means managing a multitude of different things. On any typical day, multiple of the countless aspects of home ownership can arise and require you to address. Of all that can go wrong in a home, perhaps the most unpleasant for several reasons is the backflow of your septic tank. Not only do sewage backups create a noxious odor, but the cleanup is costly and complex. You can avoid all of this by getting in touch with Pelham Plumbing Services. We have been providing septic tank cleaning services to the people of Pelham since 1970.

What a Septic Tank Does

If you ever take a moment to reflect about it, every person creates a significant amount of waste, and quite a bit of that waste is sent down multiple drains in your home. Your sinks, toilets, bathtubs, showers, and washing machines all generate diverse forms of waste, and all of it is directed through a pipe to a single destination. That destination is your septic tank. Your septic tank handles the entire household’s waste load, which adds up quickly when you account for all the times in a day your toilets flush, your showers run, and your sinks and washing machines drain.

The septic tank accepts this waste from the pipe in your home where the solids sink to the bottom. The liquid is dispersed onto your property underground through the field lines where the naturally occurring bacteria in the soil cleans the effluent, ultimately mixing back into the groundwater. The solid waste is stored in the septic tank where enzymes and bacteria break it down into sludge. This sludge increases over time, and eventually, your tank will fill. This is when it’s necessary for septic tank cleaning. In addition, septic tank cleaning is a good idea for clear environmental reasons.

Signs to Watch For

If you haven’t had a septic tank pumping service done on your home for some time now, you should look out for the following warning signs that your tank may need pumping: Lush green patches are visible on your lawn. Your toilets and/or tubs make odd noises when you use them. You’re sensing an odor around your home, particularly where there are drains. Any of these signs could imply that your septic tank may need pumping. Even if you don’t notice any of these potential problems, you should still have your tank serviced if it’s been awhile since it was last done.
