In areas where there are no municipal sewers available, customers will need to rely on septic systems. The purpose of these systems is to keep solids in the tank and allow effluent (or liquid waste) to leave. When too many solids amass in the tank, it can permeate the drain field and clog up the lines as well as the rock-bed. This is why it is crucial to have regular Septic Tank Cleaning in Olympia WA performed.
Extend The Life of The Tank
By engaging in regular cleaning, customers can extend the life of their systems. By removing solids from the wastewater on a regular basis, customers can protect the soil absorption area from becoming blocked. This can lead to a failed septic system, which can result in wastewater backing up into the yard or worse yet, into the home.
Increase The System’s Effectiveness
Having Septic Tank Cleaning in Olympia WA performed, as well as immediately avoiding any use of the septic system afterward will allow the tank as well as the absorption area to completely dry out. This allows the entire plumbing system to benefit from the inactivity and any remaining decomposed waste will fully break down.
Deal With a Full-Service Plumber
When seeking a company to clean out their system, customers would be wise to deal with a full-service plumber. In the event a homeowner ever moves, they will need to have their septic system inspected as well as have a report filed. A stress test will also need to be performed on the drain field. It is wise to hire a company that is well versed in the various health code regulations pertaining to systems. Customers should insist that any ‘Operation and Maintenance’ inspections are performed by a certified O&M Specialist.
Ask About A Company’s Repair Capabilities
Customers should also seek a plumber with septic tank repair skills. Whether it is checking on baffles or jetting, (which can clear pipes of years worth of debris and grease) finding a plumber who can handle routine maintenance and repairs can be invaluable. If a plumber knows how to repair floats and pumps, it will not only extend the life of those components but decrease the customer’s water usage.
