A septic system is a self contained waste collection system that consists of piping from a home leading into a field where wastewater is collected and treated. It consists of a septic tank and an absorption field that are buried underground. The septic system uses natural microbes in the soil to treat the wastewater. The septic tank temporarily holds the household waste and separates heavy solids from the liquid wastewater. This process is known as primary treatment. The septic tank also contains baffles that are designed to ensure the wastewater enters the absorption field in the right proportion.

Signs Your Septic System Needs Professional Maintenance

The septic tank must be pumped regularly to remove the sludge and scum buildup that accumulates in it. Before the tank is pumped, a professional septic system technician conducts an initial inspection to determine when it needs to be done. They check the sludge layer and scum level and may need to use a camera to inspect the interior of the tank for cracks and leaks, which can cause premature failure of the septic system.

The septic tank must be emptied periodically to reduce the risk of blockages in the septic system and a backup of wastewater into the house. Regular pumping helps to maintain the septic tank, which can help extend its lifespan. Other steps you can take to help extend the life of your septic system include using water efficiently, installing water-conserving faucets and showerheads, and diverting roof drains and driveway surface water away from the septic system.
