- Septic Tank Maintenance and Care: A septic tank is the main component in a common septic system. Proper septic tank maintenance involves attention to the drain field and the soil as well. 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. Solid wastes accumulate in the bottom of the tank that needs pumping out after some time to avoid filling the tank. Fats, oils, and grease create a floating scum layer. These are mainly made from the collected 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. Call us today for reliable septic system maintenance services in Norfolk, 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, like dealing with drain field over soaking and drain back flowing. 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. 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) 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. 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. 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. This component spreads wastewater evenly throughout 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. 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. Its important for homeowners to be aware of how their septic tank works, even with professional maintenance. 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. The tanks anaerobic bacteria decompose the wastewater over this time. 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. 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. 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. We monitor your drain field closely because its condition directly affects system performance. 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. 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. 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.
