- 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. The tank maintenance alone can be complex since many things are to be considered. These tanks are sealed units built to contain wastewater for a period of time. Solid wastes accumulate in the bottom of the tank that needs pumping out after some time to avoid filling the tank. Scum floats on the surface of tank water. These are mainly made from the collected fats, oils and greases. Routine service includes removing this buildup. Liquid wastes on the other hand flows out to the drain field through an exit hole found on the upper part of the tank. The amount of actual waste being placed in the system mainly sets the stage. Different waste types require different maintenance approaches. Most septic waste falls into liquid, solid, and non-organic categories. Call us today for quality septic tank maintenance services in Elwood, IL.
- 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, like dealing with drain field over soaking and drain back flowing. 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. 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 good sewage treatment program (generally understood as a septic system) collects and processes waste from your property, separates solid waste from liquid waste inside holding containers, 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. It isolates solids, begins the breakdown of organic waste, and retains sludge and scum. The result is relatively clear effluent. In a properly functioning tank, solids and liquids are efficiently separated. Solid waste and partially decomposed sludge settle at the bottom. 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 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. Less conventional systems include drip distribution, spray irrigation, or flow release techniques.

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 understanding of your septic system is backed up by this extensive work history. 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. Wastewater from your house is carried into the septic tank by gravity. 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. 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. After remaining in the septic tank for one or two days, the “grey” wastewater inside the tank flows into the drain field. 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. A properly functioning drain field allows a septic tank to replenish the surrounding area’s ground water table with clean, potable water. 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. 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.
