What Is the Purpose of a Septic Tank?

In any household, the waste generated must be properly handled, as it cannot be discarded untreated. Water from sinks, bathtubs, and toilets lead to a central pipe that ultimately leads to the septic tank. In the tank, works to separate the solid from the liquid. The clarified liquid moves through pipes to the field lines where it is naturally treated further before filtering through the ground and into the groundwater. Solid waste settles at the bottom and decomposition occurs in a controlled setting. Natural bacteria both existing and added work to break down this solid material turning it into sludge. Gradually, the sludge level increases to a point where effective separation ceases. Before it’s completely filled, cleaning the tank is necessary to stop sludge from entering the field lines.

Signs Your Septic Tank is Full

All septic tanks will eventually accumulate sludge, and indicators that your tank is full include: odors coming from your fixtures, your lawn becomes abnormally green near the tank, puddles forming on your land. Ultimately, the most severe indicator that the tank needs attention is backed-up sewage in your property.
