- 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. These tanks are sealed units built to contain wastewater for a period of time. 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. 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. Reach out now for quality septic tank maintenance services in Altavista, VA.
- 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. 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 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 properly designed septic program (sewage treatment 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. 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. Gravity flow allows wastewater to move naturally into the absorption system. A distribution box evenly disperses effluent across the field. In pressurized systems, a pump lifts effluent to a higher elevation using pressure dosing. 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. Its important for homeowners to be aware of how their septic tank works, even with professional maintenance. Septic tanks differ, but the basic function is consistent across systems. Wastewater from your house is carried into the septic tank by gravity. 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. 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. 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. Its made up of perforated pipes buried in trenches containing sand, gravel, or other dense, loose fill. We monitor your drain field closely because its condition directly affects system performance. 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. The bacteria already inside the septic tank can handle most of these easily. 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. Toxic substances can include paint thinners, solvents, and pesticide products. Cooking fats and grease should also never go down a household drain. They should be poured into a separate container, allowed to solidify, and then disposed of as solid waste.
