The septic tanks on your Napa property aren’t something you like to think about very often, but you want to have that tank serviced on a regular basis so there aren’t problems that can be very costly and inconvenient. When you schedule regular Napa septic take services, there might be some pump-outs that occur. That process can remove compounds that get stuck in the tank and keep it from working properly. The procedure takes several steps and removes a number of things form the tanks.
Sludge
The sludge from the bottom portion of the septic tank is one of the first things that comes out during this procedure. It includes things that keep bacteria from breaking down any waste that comes into the tank. Once that sludge is out, the tank is able to operate more efficiently and effectively.
Grease
You don’t want to put grease down your pipes, but sometimes, stuff gets through. Grease and soaps can build up in septic tanks and they can be cleared out when the tank is pumped out. It might take a little pressure to get them to break free, but the tank will be in better shape once they are gone.
Synthetic Materials
Any number of synthetics can collect in a washing machine and those items won’t break down very quickly or very easily. Pumping out the septic tank will force materials like these out of the system, so it can run better.
Accidental Disposals
Most people accidentally drop something down the toilet or drain at some point or do so because they don’t know they shouldn’t. Things like cotton swabs, feminine products, cigarette butts and many others won’t break down and will clog things up down the line. A pump-out will clean those items out of the system before they build up and cause an issue down the road.
When Do You Need Service?
Most toilet septic tanks need to have regular service every year or two to make sure that things aren’t collecting within the tank, building up, and causing issues. Get that regular service and you shouldn’t have to worry about things as much between. But if you see your drains running slow or your toilets starting to back up, call for an extra service because there might be something that is building up in the tank faster than your home or business can handle.
