Septic Tank Cleaning And Waste Removal Services By Trained And Well-Equipped Operators

A septic tank is quite simple in design; all drains in a house connect to a single pipe that leads to the septic tank, which is buried outside. Septic tanks are typically installed in areas where there is no sewer system. The septic tank is designed to separate household wastewater into three layers: the bottom layer contains heavy solid waste, the middle layer contains water and other lighter waste, and the topmost layer contains FOG (Fats, Oils, and Grease). The bottom layer of waste is known as sludge, and the top layer is known as scum. The effluent or grey layer is the middle layer of the waste, which is relatively clean. All of these septic tank wastewater layers are collectively referred to as septage. 

Septic tank is so designed that effluents from it are discharged into the drain field, also called the leach field. For this, pipes with holes are drilled so that they can release the effluent below the ground. Care is taken that the effluents are not released into the underground water table, so the pipes are not dug deep enough to reach the water table. The system degrades the effluent by filtering it through good soil. Plenty of organic matter is left in the effluent which can be used as compost or fertiliser. 

Overflowing Septic Tank Wastage Can Contaminate Drain Fields And Underground Water 

Septic tank requires regular septic tank cleaning services to prevent problems of clogging, blockage, and overflow. If septic waste removal is not done regularly, the system can clog and begin to overflow. Sometimes, the overflow can lead back into your house, or there could be a sudden deluge of unprocessed waste flooding the drain fields. If this happens, water can seep above the ground, which can lead to a flooded yard, and result in the run-off water going to nearby water bodies, creeks, and rivers. This drainage can contaminate and taint groundwater, causing additional damage underground. Because the drainage contains harmful disease-causing bacteria such as hepatitis, this can pose a health risk to the local population.

When Should Septic Tank Be Cleaned? 

Even if you have a septic tank in good working condition with a good drain field and a healthy microbial ecosystem that breaks down the septage, layers of sludge and scum will eventually build up in your septic tank. Septic tank consists of an inlet pipe that brings wastewater from the house, and an outlet tee that takes the wastewater out of the tank. Septic tank waste removal should be done regularly, especially if the bottom of the floating scum layer is within 6 inches of the bottom of the outlet tee. Septic tank cleaning services should be called if the sunken sludge layer is within 12 inches of the outlet tee.

Disposing Of Waste In A Compliant Manner 

Clarence Valley Septics offers comprehensive septic tank cleaning services, which include the use of a pumping truck for septic waste removal. The septic tank will be emptied and refilled with water so that it can function properly again. However, septic tank waste cannot be simply dumped because it contains harmful materials and microbes. As a result, Clarence Valley Septics' waste removal services take special care to dispose of septic tank waste in an EPA-compliant manner. The waste can be composted to grow plants or used to generate electricity to power homes. Methane is a simple fuel that can be broken down to generate electricity. Because electricity does not burn, there is little to no pollution.
