We often don’t think much about our septic tank service tank, but it’s an important part of our home’s plumbing system that should be regularly inspected and pumped. Keeping to a regular pumping schedule will minimize the amount of waste that has to be removed from the tank. This will reduce the risk of overflows and clogs, as well as prevent contaminants from reaching groundwater or local bodies of water.

How A1 Septic Service Ensures Effective Septic Tank Pumping

When wastewater enters the septic tank, solid waste settles at the bottom and lighter material floats to the top. Over time, these materials build up, reducing the space for new wastewater to enter. If the tank reaches a critical level, the solids will overflow into the drain field, resulting in clogs and environmental contamination.

Keeping up with septic tank pumping will eliminate the risk of overflows, which can cause expensive and messy cleanups. Regular septic tank cleaning will also reduce unpleasant odors around the home.

Septic tanks can become contaminated with toxic substances from the household, including paints, solvents, pesticides, and gasoline. These chemicals can seep into groundwater, contaminating drinking water sources. Septic tanks that are regularly pumped will help keep the contents of the tank from being released into the environment, protecting drinking water.

Before our septic tank pumping crew arrives, it’s important that you pick up any yard debris that may have fallen into the tank. This will ensure that the cover is ready to be removed during the tank inspection and pumping process.
