Busy Bee Septic and Excavating LLC is a great alternative to sewer systems, especially for homeowners who live in rural areas. But they require regular maintenance and cleaning to function properly. Here are some tips for keeping your septic system working well.
Septic tank sludge is thick and can cause blockages if not removed on a routine basis. When the tank is pumped, the solids are pushed out of the septic system and into the soil where they are broken down by bacteria. If you neglect to have your septic tank pumped, it may reach capacity and start to overflow into your house.
The best way to keep your septic system in good shape is to have it inspected and pumped regularly. Having the tank inspected and pumped on a schedule will extend the life of your septic system and save you money in the long run.
Another sign that your septic tank needs to be pumped is if there is standing water in the yard. This is a clear sign that the septic tank is full and has overflowed.
It is possible to prevent overflows by avoiding items that are not meant for the septic system. This includes feminine hygiene products, paper towels, and wipes – even those that claim to be “flushable.”
It’s also important to have your septic tank riser inspected regularly. A riser is a shaft that extends from the top of the septic tank to the surface. The height of your septic tank riser determines the maximum liquid level that can enter and exit the septic tank. The higher the liquid level, the more often you will need to have the septic tank pumped.
