Septic Tank Pumping Services
Phillips Plumbing, Wells, & Septic systems are essential for the proper disposal of wastewater, protecting the environment and public health. These systems are designed and installed to fit a home’s unique wastewater needs, taking into consideration factors like soil type and building size. They also need regular maintenance to function properly and comply with industry regulations.
A septic tank is the first step in the septic system, where all household wastewater goes. Heavy solid wastes settle to the bottom of the tank, where bacteria break them down into sludge. Lighter wastes, such as fats and grease, float to the surface to be removed by the septic tank pump. Wastewater is then distributed to the absorption field through the distribution box.
Why Homeowners Trust Phillips Plumbing, Wells, & Septic for Septic Services
Regular cleaning and pumping services prevent clogging, leaks, and other plumbing problems. However, septic tanks can have hidden issues that require professional inspections using equipment like inspection cameras. Professional companies can find the source of these issues and advise on the best way to address them.
During septic tank pumping, a technician stretches a vacuum hose from a pump truck to an access point on the septic tank and pumps all of its contents into the truck. This process typically takes less than an hour. During this time, the technician can inspect the level of the septic tank, baffles, sump pump, and aerator shaft.
Homeowners can help maintain their septic system by conserving water and not flushing anything other than human waste, toilet paper, and paper towels down the drain. They should also have their septic systems inspected and pumped every three to five years.
