The average septic tank should be pumped after every 3-5 years. Frequency is influenced by household size, tank capacity and water usage. Regular pumping prevents damaging your system and incurs expensive maintenance.
A septic system comprises an inlet pipe, a septic tank, outlet pipe and drainfield. The tank isolates the solid and liquid components before discharge of effluent to the soil around it to be filtered naturally.
Do not flush wipes, nappies, sanitary, paper towel, bleach, medication or chemicals. They disrupt bacterial balance, block and seriously impair the performance of your septic system.
Yes, but with caution. Garbage disposals contribute to a high amount of solid waste and this necessitates more frequent pumping. When utilized often, your tank will fill half the time of normal running conditions.
The warning indicators are slow drains, gurgling pipes, bad smells either indoors or outdoors, wet grounds around the drainfield and sewage overflow. All these symptoms are to be subjected to immediate professional examination.
A majority of additives are not necessary. In a healthy septic system, there is enough bacteria that is generated to decompose waste. Some of the chemical additives are even harmful to your system and pollute the nearby ground water sources.
No. Tree and shrub roots creep violently into drainfield pipes leading to severe congestions and structural damages. Recommended grass cover is only to the shallow-rooted grass in order to ensure that your system is functioning safely and without obstructions.
Stop excessive water use immediately and avoid flushing anything unnecessary. Call OK Eco Pump right away. Early professional intervention prevents minor issues from escalating into expensive, health-hazardous emergencies requiring major repairs.
