- 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. Over time, solids collect at the bottom and require routine pumping to avoid overfilling. Scum floats on the surface of tank water. 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. Depending on what type of waste, septic maintenance is done to address the problems that arise from these wastes. Most septic waste falls into liquid, solid, and non-organic categories. Reach out now for quality septic tank maintenance services in Ashland, VA.
- Septic System Pumping: Water, while not dangerous by itself, is the main issue among liquid waste. 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. Its best to limit the use of disinfectants to protect the helpful bacteria that break down waste inside the tank. Solid waste sent through your drains adds to the sludge layer in the tank. Non-biodegradable items add to the total mass inside 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, 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. The tank separates solids from liquids, partially breaks down organic matter, and stores sludge and debris. The result is relatively clear effluent. When functioning correctly, the tank divides solids and liquids. 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 second stage is the distribution system. This system moves wastewater from the septic tank to the absorption 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. 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. Drain field systems may include cesspools, seepage pits, trench systems, subsurface gravel filters, or raised 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. 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. These bacteria separate the wastewater into solids, greases, oils, and floating substances. 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. 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. 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 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. Toxic substances can include paint thinners, solvents, and pesticide products. 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.
