How a Septic System Works
Septic systems are individual wastewater treatment systems that use the soil to treat small wastewater flows, usually from individual homes. They are typically used in rural or large lot settings where centralized wastewater treatment is impractical and unnecessary. There are many types of septic systems in use today. While all septic systems are individually designed for each site, most septic systems are based on the same principles. A septic system is not a complicated system. The main parts of a septic system include a septic tank, a distribution box, and a drainfield, all connected via pipes known as conveyance lines. Wastewater is temporarily stored in the septic tank, where solids settle at the bottom and scum floats on top, allowing for separation. The separation of solids and scum from liquid is the primary treatment process. The tanks solids are broken down by bacteria and should be removed, along with scum, by a licensed septic service. The partially treated wastewater exits the tank, entering a distribution box that evenly distributes it to a series of drainfield trenches. Drainage holes at the bottom of each line allow the wastewater to drain into gravel trenches for temporary storage, then slowly seeps into the subsurface soil where it is further treated and purified (secondary treatment) before replenishing the ground water and eventually flowing to a stream or other body of water. In some cases, homes may have a cesspool, a tank that collects sewage with an inlet pipe, but no outlet.

How the ST Pro Plumbing Works on Your Tank
The ST Pro Plumbing has experience going back several years, in septic cleaning and septic system maintenance. Our teams knowledge of septic systems is supported by years of hands-on work. However, as a homeowner, it’s important for you to understand the working of your septic tank, even though our professionals will maintain it for you. Septic tanks differ, but the basic function is consistent across systems. Wastewater from your house is carried into the septic tank by gravity. This wastewater is held for one or two days in the tank. During this time the substances in the water are broken down by the anaerobic bacteria inside the tank. These bacteria separate the wastewater into solids, greases, oils, and floating substances. While bacteria inside your septic tank will do a fine job of breaking down your home’s wastewater, our professionals know it can’t dissolve everything. Tanks have three layers: floating scum, middle grey water, and bottom sludge. All three layers must have a sort of internal “equilibrium” to them, which our professionals can help control, in order to continue functioning the way a septic system should. The grey water exits the tank after one or two days into the absorption area. The drain field is a series of perforated pipes inside a trench filled with sand, gravel, tire chips, or other loose yet dense material. We monitor your drain field closely because its condition directly affects system performance. The soil surrounding the pipes filters the effluent, removing remaining waste. Microbes in the soil, along with oxygen, break down harmful elements in the water. A properly functioning drain field allows a septic tank to replenish the surrounding area’s ground water table with clean, potable water. We inspect and maintain drain fields to guarantee proper operation. Since this wastewater could have come from a toilet, washing machine, shower, or sink, the types of debris found in it can be of a wide variety. The bacteria already inside the septic tank can handle most of these easily. Our experts are available to handle any clogs or system backups.
Proper Maintenance of Septic Systems
The accumulated solids in the bottom of the septic tank should be pumped out every two to three years. For large households with heavy usage, or homes with whirlpools, hot tubs, or garbage disposals, it may be necessary to pump the septic tank every year. Newer septic installations require a filter at the tank outlet to protect the drainfield and extend its lifespan. Its important to check this filter when the tank is being emptied. With proper design and maintenance, a septic system requires little care. A septic system typically costs less than sewer services and helps keep water on-site, benefiting plants and wells.
Signs of a Failing Septic System
- Sewage pooling over the drainfield, especially following storms
- Lush, green growth over the drainfield
- Drains or toilets that are slow to empty
- Sewage odors
