Lucas Septic Tank Service

In a properly working septic tank, there are three levels; on top is the scum – grease, oils, other materials lighter than water; a clear effluent in the middle; and solid waste on the bottom. Only the effluent should be exiting the tank.

Drain lines from the home to the septic tank can become clogged by waste material, roots, or from partial or complete collapse. Having a trained septic technician run a snake through the line is the most effective method of identifying the problem.

Ever wonder what happens to the stuff from the septic tank? After we pump it out, we take the waste to a proper treatment facility where it is safely processed according to local and EPA guidelines.
