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. Its important for homeowners to be aware of how their septic tank works, even with professional maintenance. Though every septic system is slightly different, each septic tank works in the same manner. Gravity moves wastewater from your home into the septic tank. This wastewater is held for one or two days in the tank. The tanks anaerobic bacteria decompose the wastewater over this time. These bacteria separate the wastewater into solids, greases, oils, and floating substances. Bacteria do much of the work, but certain materials cannot be dissolved without maintenance. Tanks have three layers: floating scum, middle grey water, and bottom sludge. Our experts manage the equilibrium of the three layers to keep your system functioning correctly. After remaining in the septic tank for one or two days, the “grey” wastewater inside the tank flows into the drain field. Its made up of perforated pipes buried in trenches containing sand, gravel, or other dense, loose fill. We monitor your drain field closely because its condition directly affects system performance. 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. Effective soil filtration lets the septic system release clean water back into the ground. We can make sure that your drain field is working ideally. Household wastewater carries a mix of debris from toilets, showers, sinks, and washing machines. Existing bacteria break down the majority of these materials. Our experts are available to handle any clogs or system backups.
