Septic tank and grease trap cleaning services to keep your business operations functioning normally

1. Septic tank and grease trap cleaning services to keep your business operations functioning normally Septic tanks largely serve rural areas that are not serviced by municipal sewer supply. Instead of pumping waste through the sewer to a central sewage treatment facility, a septic tank pumps liquid and semisolid waste from households into a drain field. However, it does not drain waste directly into the drain field, it first keeps the domestic wastewater long enough for solids to settle, forming sludge, and the scum layer that largely consists of FOG (fats, oils, and grease) to form the upper scum layer that floats on top. When the septic tank reaches its capacity, the liquid on top of the scum layer flows

2. onward into a series of porous pipes to a drain field which is usually prepared with the help of gravel and aggregates that help disperse the liquid waste. By the time dispersed liquid reaches to underground water, it is virtually sterile as slow filtration process gives enough time to bacteria to break down pathogens from it. Septic tank pump out should be performed before the sludge builds up to the level where it blocks the outlet pipe through which the waste flows into the drain field. Septic tanks should be inspected every two to three years, and mechanical septic tank pump out should be done every three to five years. Some septic tank systems have electrical float switches and other mechanical components, and these need to be inspected more often, typically annually. How often septic tank should be cleaned? The frequency at which septic tank pump out should be done will depend on many factors, like the size of the household. A larger household will generate more waste and would require more regular septic tank pump outs. Also, households with many toilets tend to fill up the septic tank quicker. However, if you have a larger septic tank, it will be able to hold more solid sludge, and hence would require less frequent septic tank pump outs.
