- Septic Tank Maintenance and Care: A septic tank is the main component in a common septic system. 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. Solid wastes accumulate in the bottom of the tank that needs pumping out after some time to avoid filling the tank. Fats, oils, and grease create a floating scum layer. 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. 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 reliable septic system maintenance services in Lexington, 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. 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. 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) removes all waste from a building, separates solid waste from liquid waste inside holding containers, 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 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 outcome is partially treated wastewater. When functioning correctly, the tank divides solids and liquids. Solid waste and partially decomposed sludge settle at the bottom. Foam and grease create a scum layer at 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. Gravity flow allows wastewater to move naturally into the absorption system. 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. Drain field systems may include cesspools, seepage pits, trench systems, subsurface gravel filters, or raised 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 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. 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. The tanks anaerobic bacteria decompose the wastewater over this time. The bacteria help segregate solids, oils, greases, and other floating materials. 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. Our experts manage the equilibrium of the three layers to keep your system functioning correctly. 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. 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 inspect and maintain drain fields to guarantee proper operation. Since this wastewater could have come from a toilet, washing machine, shower, or sink, the types of debris found in it can be of a wide variety. 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
Systems designed and maintained by our professionals can handle a large amount of normal chemicals, such as laundry detergent, bleach, and drain cleaners, but you should try not to flush or rinse toxic chemicals into the septic tank. Such chemicals may include paint thinner, solvents, or insecticides. 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.
