- Septic Tank Maintenance and Care: The septic tank is the central part of most septic systems. Proper septic tank maintenance involves attention to the drain field and the soil as well. Tank maintenance alone requires careful consideration of several factors. 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. These are mainly made from the collected fats, oils and greases. During septic tank maintenance these are removed from the tank. The liquid portion then moves through an upper outlet into the drain field. 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 Downs, IL.
- Septic System Pumping: Water, while not dangerous by itself, is the main issue among liquid waste. An overload of water can disrupt the normal operation of your septic system, like dealing with drain field over soaking and drain back flowing. 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 avoid killing the beneficial anaerobic bacteria in the tank during the septic tank maintenance. Solid materials flushed down the drains significantly raise the accumulation of solid wastes in the bottom of 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. Get in touch with us today!
How Does A Septic Tank System Work?
A good sewage treatment program (generally understood as a septic system) collects and processes waste from your property, divides solid materials from liquid effluent in containment vessels, and directs partially treated effluent to the soil through a drain field. The first essential component of septic treatment is the septic tank itself. This underground sealed container gathers wastewater from the property. The tank separates solids from liquids, partially breaks down organic matter, and stores sludge and debris. 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. Lighter materials such as fats, oils, and grease float to the top. The partially treated liquid between these layers flows out to the drain field. The second stage is the distribution system. This system moves wastewater from the septic tank to the absorption area. In gravity-fed systems, liquid flows directly through an outlet pipe into the distribution area. A distribution box evenly disperses effluent across the field. In pressurized systems, a pump lifts effluent to a higher elevation using pressure dosing. The drain field performs the final stage of wastewater treatment. It relies on soil filtration to cleanse wastewater before returning it to the environment. Drain field systems may include cesspools, seepage pits, trench systems, subsurface gravel filters, or raised mound systems. Other less common options include drip systems, spray irrigation, and flow release methods.

How the ST Pro Plumbing Works on Your Tank
With extensive experience in septic cleaning and maintenance, ST Pro Plumbing has a long history of service. Our teams knowledge of septic systems is supported by years of hands-on work. However, as a homeowner, it’s important for you to understand the working of your septic tank, even though our professionals will maintain it for you. Septic tanks differ, but the basic function is consistent across systems. Gravity moves wastewater from your home into the septic tank. This wastewater is held for one or two days in the tank. During this time the substances in the water are broken down by the anaerobic bacteria inside the tank. 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. Its made up of perforated pipes buried in trenches containing sand, gravel, or other dense, loose fill. We monitor your drain field closely because its condition directly affects system performance. The soil surrounding the pipes filters the effluent, removing remaining waste. Microbes in the soil, along with oxygen, break down harmful elements in the water. A properly functioning drain field allows a septic tank to replenish the surrounding area’s ground water table with clean, potable water. We can make sure that your drain field is working ideally. Household wastewater carries a mix of debris from toilets, showers, sinks, and washing machines. The bacteria already inside the septic tank can handle most of these easily. In case of a clog or septic back-up, our professionals are always available.
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, yet toxic chemicals should never be poured or rinsed into the septic tank. Such chemicals may include paint thinner, solvents, or insecticides. Grease and cooking fats should not be poured down any sink or drain. They should be poured into a separate container, allowed to solidify, and then disposed of as solid waste.
