Proper septic maintenance is key to keeping your system in excellent condition.
If you own a commercial or residential property that is not connected to a municipal waste management system, investing in proper septic maintenance is one of the most important things you can do as the property owner. Although your septic system is designed to function without much fuss on your part, it does require routine care to ensure that everything is running properly. For those in the Seffner, Florida area, our team at Averett Septic Tank Co Inc. is proud to offer the essential septic maintenance services you need.
Your septic system is made of two main parts that work together to handle the wastewater your home or business generates. The septic tank is where everything is collected, and as the wastewater sits in the tank, it separates into three parts: sludge, effluent, and scum.
Sludge is the solid waste, and it sinks to the bottom of the tank. Septic tank pumping, a key aspect of septic maintenance, removes the sludge on a routine basis. The effluent is the liquid waste, and it is released into the drainfield. The drain field is designed to allow the effluent to slowly filter through gravel and soil, where natural processes further purify it before it makes its way back into the water table. The scum layer floats on the very top of the tank, and this layer is also removed during your routine pumping service.
Proper septic maintenance ensures that your system operates as intended and helps prevent major issues like system failures, health hazards, and environmental contamination. Our team of experienced professionals will work with you to determine the best septic maintenance schedule for your unique system, giving you peace of mind that your system is well cared for and functioning properly.
