Sumiton Plumbing Services – Sumiton Septic Tank Repair and Cleaning

Living in a home means overseeing a number of different things. On any given day, several of the countless aspects of home ownership can arise and require you to address. Of all that can go awry in a home, perhaps the most undesirable for several reasons is the backflow of your septic tank. Not only do sewage backups produce a offensive odor, but the restoration is costly and involved. You can prevent all of this by reaching out to Sumiton Plumbing Services. We have been offering septic tank cleaning services to the people of Sumiton since the 1970s.

Understanding Your Septic Tank

If you ever pause to consider about it, every person produces a great deal 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 generate different types of waste, and all of it is sent through a pipe to a single destination. That location is your septic tank. Your septic tank handles the entire household’s waste load, which can accumulate rapidly when you think about 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 drop to the bottom. The liquid is dispersed onto your property underground through the field lines where the native bacteria in the soil filters the effluent, ultimately rejoining the groundwater. The solid waste is held in the septic tank where enzymes and bacteria decompose it 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 good idea for obvious 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 try to flush/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 notice any of these potential problems, you should still have your tank serviced if it’s been awhile since it was last done.
