- 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. Fats, oils, and grease create a floating scum layer. It consists mostly of accumulated fats, oils, and greases. Routine service includes removing this buildup. 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. Liquid, solid and non organic substances are the common categories of waste being placed in the septic tank. Call us today for reliable septic system maintenance services in Durham, NC.
- 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 waste sent through your drains adds to the sludge layer in 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. Call us now!
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 first essential component of septic treatment is the septic tank itself. This underground sealed container gathers wastewater from the property. It isolates solids, begins the breakdown of organic waste, and retains sludge and scum. The outcome is partially treated wastewater. In a properly functioning tank, solids and liquids are efficiently separated. Solid waste and partially decomposed sludge settle at the bottom. Foam and grease create a scum layer at 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. Wastewater stays in the tank for about one or two days. 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. 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. 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. 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
Systems designed and maintained by our professionals can handle a large amount of normal chemicals, such as laundry detergent, bleach, 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. 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.
