Septic Pumping and Hauling Services

Keep Your Septic Tank Working With Regular Pumping

Your septic system may not be the most flashy or attractive part of your home, but it's probably one of the hardest working parts. Your septic system works hard to keep you safe and sanitary. Make sure you give it the care it deserves with regular pumping and hauling from Sink's Septic & Drain Services.

Septic systems are designed to move waste away from your home or business. Most septic tanks are large rectangular or cylindrical containers made from concrete or plastic. They are buried in the ground on your property.

To function, the tank acts like a filter. There are two key parts, the tank and the drain field. Wastewater from your property enters the septic tank. When waste enters, it settles at the bottom. Lighter materials like fat and grease float to the top. Wastewater then flows out to the leech field to keep things working.

Over time, the solids at the bottom of the tank will build up. The grease at the top will get thick and hard. As this happens, your system can slow down or even back up entirely. That's why it's so important to clean the system to remove this build-up.

The advantages of cleaning your system are obvious. By cleaning things out, you can keep your system at peak capacity. Even more important, you can make sure that thick material and waste do not escape from the tank and clog your leech field or back up into your home or business.

To avoid issues, we recommend pumping your septic tank and hauling away the debris every two or three years. Newer septic tanks will also have a filter that should be cleaned every six months. Cleaning the filter is easy when you open the tank. Just pull out the old filter and spray it down thoroughly with a garden hose.
