Septic System Overview

 

All septic systems are designed to do two things, contain water in a specific place and to detain water for a specific length of time. Once wastewater leaves the house and before it enters into the drain field it should remain in the tanks for at least 36hrs. This allows for settling of the solids in the waste water and separation into three levels. The heavier “Slug” layer at the bottom, the lighter floating “Scum” layer at the top and the “clear” area of effluent in the middle. It is the “clear” water that travels through the system and eventually into the soil and nearby water table. The solids remain trapped in the tanks and accumulate over time. These solids needs to be pumped out on a regular schedule. Every 3-5 years is a good rule of thumb for pumping but because of water usage differences between families, that factor should be taken in consideration for determining if pumping should be more frequent.

The Inspection Process

 

It begins with locating all parts of the system. We will locate the lids to the tanks and the openings to them. We will open the tanks up and have the home owners run water into the system from a tub for a short time and observe how the system reacts to being pressured. The system will then be pumped out and the interior of the tank and all working parts will be examined. Next probing of the drain field to determine size and current condition and looking for signs of failure in the field. A simple site survey for any other issues that might present a concern for the system is conducted. All information is gathered into a report that will be delivered to the client on completion of inspection.

We encourage all customers to be available for the inspections so the report can be presented in person and they have the opportunity to have any questions and answered.
