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. Usually employed in rural and large-lot settings, septic systems are used when centralized wastewater treatment is not an option. Today, a variety of septic systems exist to suit different needs. While all septic systems are individually designed for each site, most septic systems are based on the same principles. Septic systems are not complicated. A septic system consists of a septic tank, a distribution box and a drainfield, all connected by pipes called 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 solids stored in the tank are decomposed by bacteria and should be removed, along with the lighter scum, by a licensed septic tank pumper. After the partially treated wastewater leaves the tank, it flows into a distribution box, which separates this flow evenly into a network 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 understanding of your septic system is backed up by this extensive work history. 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. Though every septic system is slightly different, each septic tank works in the same manner. 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. The bacteria help segregate solids, oils, greases, and other floating materials. 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. In every septic tank there is a layer of ‘scum’ floating at the top, in the middle there is a layer of partially treated or “grey” water, and heavy, thick sludge lines the bottom of the tank. Our experts manage the equilibrium of the three layers to keep your system functioning correctly. 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. The health and condition of your drain field is integral to the continued performance of your septic system, and as such, it will be regularly evaluated by us. As the wastewater flows out of the holes along the pipes, it enters the soil, which acts as a natural filter for any remaining waste products in the water. 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. Household wastewater carries a mix of debris from toilets, showers, sinks, and washing machines. 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. This must be checked when the tank is emptied. A properly designed and maintained septic system requires minimal 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 surfacing over the drainfield (especially after storms)
- Thick, green growth covering the drainfield
- Drains or toilets that are slow to empty
- Sewage odors
