- 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. These tanks are sealed units built to contain wastewater for a period of time. Solid wastes accumulate in the bottom of the tank that needs pumping out after some time to avoid filling the tank. Scum floats on the surface of tank water. 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. What goes into your system plays a major role in its upkeep. Different waste types require different maintenance approaches. Most septic waste falls into liquid, solid, and non-organic categories. Reach out now for reliable septic system maintenance services in Covington, VA.
- 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. The use of chemicals should be controlled due to their impact on the tanks biological activity. Its best to limit the use of disinfectants 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. Periodic pumping of these wastes is needed to avoid the tank being full. Get in touch with us today!
How Does A Septic Tank System Work?
A properly designed septic program (sewage treatment system) collects and processes waste from your property, separates solid waste from liquid waste inside holding containers, and releases clarified effluent into the soil absorption area. The primary component of any septic system is the septic tank. 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 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. Effluent located between these layers moves on to the drain field. The following phase is the effluent distribution system. This system moves wastewater from the septic tank to the absorption area. Gravity flow allows wastewater to move naturally into the absorption system. This component spreads wastewater evenly throughout the field. Some systems rely on pumps to distribute effluent evenly using pressurized lines. 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. 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. 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. The bacteria help segregate solids, oils, greases, and other floating materials. 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. 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. The toxins, bacteria, or viruses in the wastewater are broken down by the microorganisms and the oxygen in the soil. 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. Our experts are available to handle any clogs or system backups.
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. Grease and cooking fats should not be poured down any sink or drain. They should be poured into a separate container, allowed to solidify, and then disposed of as solid waste.
