What is the main purpose of a septic tank system?
The main purpose of a septic tank system is to treat and dispose of household wastewater. It separates solids from liquids, allowing the solids to decompose. The liquid effluent then flows to a drain field for further treatment in the soil. This process prevents untreated sewage from polluting groundwater. It's a crucial part of wastewater management for homes not connected to a municipal sewer system. We can help you maintain yours.
What does septic tank maintenance involve?
Septic tank maintenance in Waterbury primarily involves regular pumping of the tank. This removes accumulated sludge and scum. It's also important to inspect the tank and drain field periodically. The crew that comes out will check for any signs of damage or blockages. Avoiding flushing inappropriate items down drains is also part of good maintenance. This helps extend the life of your system. Call us to schedule a check-up.
