A septic tank is an underground chamber that holds and pre-treats the domestic wastewater in a home. Solid waste settles at the bottom of the tank to form sludge, while lighter, odor-free waste (like oils and grease) floats to the top. When the septic tank reaches capacity, this can cause problems like slow drains and sewage backups. To avoid these issues, homeowners should have their septic tanks pumped regularly.Go here:https://www.busybeesepticservices.com/

When a septic tank is pumped, the professional extracts the liquid waste and floating debris from the tank with a high-powered hose from the pump truck. This process typically takes about a half hour to complete. The crew will then clean and rinse the tank’s interior and exterior and close the lid to rebury it. The crew will also inspect the septic tank’s baffles and dividing wall to ensure they are in good condition.

Signs Your Septic Tank Needs Pumping: Insights from Busy Bee Septic

The frequency with which your septic tank needs to be pumped depends on the size of your household and how much water you use. Homes with larger families typically require more frequent septic tank pumping to prevent overflows, which can back up into the house or flood the septic system’s drain field and taint groundwater.

The first step is to locate your septic tank and its components. It’s important to have the area around your septic tank cleared out before our team arrives for a pumping and inspection service, especially if it hasn’t been pumped in a while. Having a clear pathway to the septic tank will help us get in and out faster and minimize the amount of time the job takes.
