The Importance of Regular Commercial and Residential Septic Cleaning
Getting your septic tank cleaned regularly is an investment in your system's health and maintenance. Think of it as a needed expense, like paying a utility bill. Regular cleanings let you save money in the long run by preventing emergencies and avoiding costly repairs or replacements.
A septic tank is an underground container that holds wastewater. Most solids collected into the tank settle to the bottom. Bacteria break these down, turning them into sludge, while oils and greases float to the top, forming scum. Remaining liquid moves into the drain field for eventual filtration and discharge. Over time, sludge clogs the soil in the drain field, making it more difficult to absorb water. If the drain field is too small or already has too much water, even a little sludge can cause problems.
Cleaning your tank regularly protects your home, health and wallet, preventing your septic tank from becoming overloaded by sludge and scum, which could lead to premature system failure. It also protects groundwater and nearby surface water sources from contamination.
Our Septic Tank Cleaning Services
We recommend pumping your tank every two to three years. However, you may need to have your system cleaned more frequently depending on factors like:
-
The tank size
-
The type of septic system you have
-
The number of people living in your home
-
The amount of wastewater produced
The septic professionals at Bolton Septic can evaluate your system and recommend regular cleaning services unique to your septic system's needs.
