- 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. Fats, oils, and grease create a floating scum layer. These are mainly made from the collected fats, oils and greases. Routine service includes removing this buildup. 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. 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 Augusta, Maine.
- 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. 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 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. Regular pumping helps keep the tank from reaching capacity. Get in touch with us today!
How Does A Septic Tank System Work?
A good sewage treatment program (generally understood as a septic system) removes all waste from a building, divides solid materials from liquid effluent in containment vessels, and directs partially treated effluent to the soil through a drain field. The primary component of any septic system is the septic tank. This underground sealed container gathers wastewater from the property. 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. Dense waste materials sink and form a sludge layer. Lighter materials such as fats, oils, and grease float to 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. Gravity flow allows wastewater to move naturally into the absorption system. This component spreads wastewater evenly throughout the field. In pressurized systems, a pump lifts effluent to a higher elevation using pressure dosing. 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. 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 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. During this time the substances in the water are broken down by the anaerobic bacteria inside the tank. 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. Tanks have three layers: floating scum, middle grey water, and bottom sludge. 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. As the wastewater flows out of the holes along the pipes, it enters the soil, which acts as a natural filter for any remaining waste products in the water. 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. 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, 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. Instead, they should be stored in a separate container till they congeal, and then disposed of as a solid.
