- 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. 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. Fats, oils, and grease create a floating scum layer. 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. The amount of actual waste being placed in the system mainly sets the stage. 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. Reach out now for reliable septic system maintenance services in East Alton, Illinois.
- Septic System Pumping: While relatively harmless, water is the main concern for liquids. Excessive water intake of a septic tank may lead to different abnormalities of its functions, such as an over-soaked drain field or backflow issues. The use of chemicals should be controlled due to their impact on the tanks biological activity. 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 materials flushed down the drains significantly raise the accumulation of solid wastes in the bottom of the tank. Non-biodegradable items add to the total mass inside the tank. Regular pumping helps keep the tank from reaching capacity. Get in touch with us today!
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 primary component of any septic system is the septic tank. This is an underground, watertight container designed to receive wastewater from your home. The tank separates solids from liquids, partially breaks down organic matter, and stores sludge and debris. The result is relatively clear effluent. When functioning correctly, the tank divides solids and liquids. Solid waste and partially decomposed sludge settle at the bottom. Lighter materials such as fats, oils, and grease float to the top. Effluent located between these layers moves on 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. Some systems rely on pumps to distribute effluent evenly using pressurized lines. The most critical treatment occurs in the drain field. This portion of the system uses soil and trenches to filter and return water to the water table. Common configurations include trench fields, gravel filters, seepage holes, or mound systems. Less conventional systems include drip distribution, spray irrigation, or flow release techniques.

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 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. 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. This wastewater is held for one or two days in the tank. The tanks anaerobic bacteria decompose the wastewater over this time. These bacteria separate the wastewater into solids, greases, oils, and floating substances. Bacteria do much of the work, but certain materials cannot be dissolved without maintenance. Tanks have three layers: floating scum, middle grey water, and bottom sludge. 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. We monitor your drain field closely because its condition directly affects system performance. 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 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. Toxic substances can include paint thinners, solvents, and pesticide products. 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.
