Our plumbers are trained to remove clogs in the septic system and leaks in the sewage lines.
Your septic system consists of pipes, a septic tank, and a leach field, also known as a drain field. It’s usually installed in a flat area outside your house, and it’s pretty much the only thing stopping your soil from a health hazard.
Although a properly installed leach field can last you up to 25 years, it can’t reach that mark without preventive plumbing services. Your septic system may start showing signs of neglect if you don’t get a local plumber in from time to time. There are many signs of a septic system failure, such as:
- Backed up sewage and wastewater
- Slow drainage
- Strange gurgling noises upon flushing the toilet
- Dampness near the drain field
- Puddles near the drain field
- Foul odors emanating from the yard where the leach field is installed
- Unexpected grass growth near the leach field
- Algal growth
- Water contamination
- Underperforming toilet flush
You might want to request a local plumber’s services to replace the septic system if you’ve recently added a new member to your household or moved into a home where the septic system is too small to handle your waste.
Request our plumbing services to install a new leach field, address any issues with your septic tanks, and repair damaged pipes. Make sure your septic infrastructure stays in top shape by inviting a local plumber for a periodic perusal and asking them for tips on what to put and what not to put down your drains to avoid future repairs for as long as you can.
Septic Tank & Leach field
The important point in using the septic tank
- Be careful footing drains or leaky fixtures: This extraneous water will make leach field tires and a short lifetime.
- Avoid chemicals: Septic tank is operated by anaerobic bacteria. Several chemicals will affect the activity of bacteria. ( Fungicides, herbicides, Particles of pigment - it will also plug the pores in the soil system. Toxic chemicals; photography, hair bleach, dye, and permanent solutions. Antibiotics can kill the bacteria.)
- A large amount of cooking oil or undigested food through garbage disposal will affect the septic tank facility.
Current tendency of water treatment
- This system has a trash tank and aerobic tank instead of a septic tank. Typically septic tank should hold the effluent for about two days because of anaerobic bacteria. But this system can have effluent for about one day because of the aerobic system. So that's why we can save space for the tank.
- The low-pressure drain field is replaced instead of the leach field. The low-pressure drain field is much lower in cost.
