Al Denny's Septic Service

Waiting too long to pump out a septic tank can result in more damage than just a sewage backup into your home. The inside of the tank can corrode or the leach field can become polluted.

Septic systems can actually be a reason some buyers might choose not to purchase your home. Having it pumped before you put it up for sale can be one great way to alleviate their concerns and have a major project out of the way.

Remember, whatever you put into your septic system will greatly impact its ability to do its job. Whenever possible, dispose of items in the trash rather than down the drain, as they will only contribute to solid buildup in the tank

While there may be a generally recommended pumping interval, that is not an absolute; the number of people in the household and the tank size determine how often the system needs to be pumped out.

Septic tanks have at least two chambers that work in unison to separate sewage from effluent before sending it to a leach field. If you notice an odor coming from the leach field, there is a problem somewhere in the system.

Septic systems require more attention than some owners think, but they are also the most self- reliant system that you can have with only an occasional bit of upkeep required. A professional septic care company can give you the help you need and all the information to do it right.
