How does a septic system work?

In a nutshell, wastewater flows from your home or business to the septic tank, where solids settle to the bottom, and liquids get filtered out to the drain field for further treatment and reentry to the groundwater table. Bacteria in the tank will break down some of the solids, but they cannot handle all the waste, which is why regular septic pumping is necessary to remove built-up solids and scum.

How often should I have my septic tank pumped?
The general guideline is every three to five years, but individual properties vary. The best way to ensure you’re on the right pumping schedule is to work with our team. We can assess the demand on your system and set you up with an appropriate schedule to manage it.
What should I do (or not do) to keep my septic system in good condition?
In addition to regular pumping and inspections, the best thing you can do is educate yourself on what you can and cannot send down the drains or flush down the toilet. Only flush waste and toilet paper, and never send anything other than water down the drains. Specific materials to avoid sending into the septic system include:

  • Wipes (even those labeled “flushable”)
  • Feminine hygiene products
  • Harsh cleaners (including drain clog removers – contact a plumber for drain services instead)
  • Hair
  • Large food particles
  • Fats, oil, and grease (FOG)
Are septic systems environmentally safe?
When properly installed and maintained, septic systems are a safe and effective way to treat wastewater that will not harm the environment.
What should I do during a septic emergency?
Avoid using water or running appliances that use water. Contact our team immediately for emergency septic services.
