Scottsboro Plumbing Services – Scottsboro Septic Tank Repair and Cleaning

Living in a home means handling a multitude of various 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 askew in a home, perhaps the most unpleasant for various reasons is the backup of your septic tank. Not only do sewage backups generate a offensive odor, but the restoration is costly and involved. You can steer clear of all of this by getting in touch with Scottsboro Plumbing Services. We have been delivering septic tank cleaning services to the people of Scottsboro since the 1970s.

What a Septic Tank Does

If you ever pause to consider about it, every person produces a significant amount of waste, and quite a bit of that waste is dispatched down multiple drains in your home. Your sinks, toilets, bathtubs, showers, and washing machines all create different types of waste, and all of it is directed through a pipe to one location. That location is your septic tank. Your septic tank takes care of the entire household’s waste load, which grows substantially 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 accepts this waste from the pipe in your home where the solids drop to the bottom. The liquid is dispersed onto your property underground through the field lines where the naturally occurring bacteria in the soil filters 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 accumulates 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 sensible 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 watch for the following warning signs that your tank may need pumping: Dark green patches are appearing on your lawn. Your toilets and/or tubs bubble when you attempt to flush or drain them. You’re detecting 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 see any of these potential problems, you should still have your tank serviced if it’s been awhile since it was last done.
