- Septic Tank Maintenance and Care: The septic tank is the central part of most septic systems. In doing complete septic tank maintenance it is also important to include the other two basic components, the drain field and the soil. The tank maintenance alone can be complex since many things are to be considered. The tanks used are watertight containers used to hold sewage waste temporarily. Over time, solids collect at the bottom and require routine pumping to avoid overfilling. Scum floats on the surface of tank water. It consists mostly of accumulated fats, oils, and greases. During septic tank maintenance these are removed from the tank. Liquid wastes on the other hand flows out to the drain field through an exit hole found on the upper part of the tank. What goes into your system plays a major role in its upkeep. Depending on what type of waste, septic maintenance is done to address the problems that arise from these wastes. Most septic waste falls into liquid, solid, and non-organic categories. Call us today for quality septic tank maintenance services in Colchester, IL.
- Septic System Pumping: While relatively harmless, water is the main concern for liquids. An overload of water can disrupt the normal operation of your septic system, such as an over-soaked drain field or backflow issues. Chemicals depending on its effect on the natural biological activity inside the tank are controlled. Disinfectants as much as possible are to be used for a minimal amount to protect the helpful bacteria that break down waste inside the tank. Solid waste sent through your drains adds to the sludge layer in the tank. While non organic substances may just add up to the bulk of waste in the tank. Periodic pumping of these wastes is needed to avoid the tank being full. Call us now!
How Does A Septic Tank System Work?
A properly designed septic program (sewage treatment system) collects and processes waste from your property, divides solid materials from liquid effluent in containment vessels, and releases clarified effluent into the soil absorption area. The first essential component of septic treatment is the septic tank itself. This underground sealed container gathers wastewater from the property. It isolates solids, begins the breakdown of organic waste, and retains sludge and scum. The outcome is partially treated wastewater. In a properly functioning tank, solids and liquids are efficiently separated. Dense waste materials sink and form a sludge layer. Foam and grease create a scum layer at the top. Effluent located between these layers moves on to the drain field. The following phase is the effluent distribution system. Its role is to carry treated liquid into the soil treatment area. In gravity-fed systems, liquid flows directly through an outlet pipe into the distribution area. This component spreads wastewater evenly throughout the field. Some systems rely on pumps to distribute effluent evenly using pressurized lines. The drain field performs the final stage of wastewater treatment. It relies on soil filtration to cleanse wastewater before returning it to the environment. Common configurations include trench fields, gravel filters, seepage holes, or mound systems. Other less common options include drip systems, spray irrigation, and flow release methods.

How the ST Pro Plumbing Works on Your Tank
The ST Pro Plumbing has experience going back several years, in septic cleaning and septic system maintenance. Our understanding of your septic system is backed up by this extensive work history. Its important for homeowners to be aware of how their septic tank works, even with professional maintenance. Though every septic system is slightly different, each septic tank works in the same manner. Gravity moves wastewater from your home into the septic tank. Wastewater stays in the tank for about one or two days. The tanks anaerobic bacteria decompose the wastewater over this time. These bacteria separate the wastewater into solids, greases, oils, and floating substances. While bacteria inside your septic tank will do a fine job of breaking down your home’s wastewater, our professionals know it can’t dissolve everything. In every septic tank there is a layer of ‘scum’ floating at the top, in the middle there is a layer of partially treated or “grey” water, and heavy, thick sludge lines the bottom of the tank. All three layers must have a sort of internal “equilibrium” to them, which our professionals can help control, in order to continue functioning the way a septic system should. The grey water exits the tank after one or two days into the absorption area. The drain field is a series of perforated pipes inside a trench filled with sand, gravel, tire chips, or other loose yet dense material. The health and condition of your drain field is integral to the continued performance of your septic system, and as such, it will be regularly evaluated by us. The soil surrounding the pipes filters the effluent, removing remaining waste. The toxins, bacteria, or viruses in the wastewater are broken down by the microorganisms and the oxygen in the soil. Effective soil filtration lets the septic system release clean water back into the ground. We inspect and maintain drain fields to guarantee proper operation. Household wastewater carries a mix of debris from toilets, showers, sinks, and washing machines. Existing bacteria break down the majority of these materials. Our experts are available to handle any clogs or system backups.
For the Proper Treatment of Your Septic System call ST Pro Plumbing
Properly maintained systems by our experts can tolerate common chemicals including bleach, laundry detergent, and drain cleaners, but you should try not to flush or rinse toxic chemicals into the septic tank. Toxic substances can include paint thinners, solvents, and pesticide products. Cooking fats and grease should also never go down a household drain. Instead, they should be stored in a separate container till they congeal, and then disposed of as a solid.
