Septic systems need to be pumped out periodically to keep your tank in good condition. As the septic tank is used, sludge gathers at the bottom of the tank and past a certain point, the sludge begins spilling beyond the filter. The more sludge that escapes the filter, the more problems that can arise with your septic tank. To prevent this and further issues with your tank, you will need to have a professional plumber from A to Z Dependable Services pump your septic tank every two years at minimum.
How often you should have your septic tank pumped depends on the size of your household and how many people live there. For further information surrounding septic services in the Mahoning Valley area, call the septic pros at A to Z Dependable Services today.
The septic tank will resume normal water level soon after being pumped. It is typical to see water in the tank; however, the water level must be at or below the bottom of your outlet line. If the water level is above the outlet line, there is a problem with the system. If this should happen, call the pros at A to Z Dependable Services right away.
While you can perform what is referred to as a “stick test,” it is recommended that you always have a professional from A to Z Dependable Services inspect your tank as they have the knowledge and experience to know what to look out for with your system.
The cost to pump your septic tank system will vary based on a number of factors. To get a more accurate cost idea, call the pros at A to Z Dependable Services to receive a free price quote!
Yes, you can tell if you will need to dig up your septic tank to pump it by checking to see if you have risers installed. If you do have risers installed, you will not have to dig up the ground above the septic tank to have it pumped. Risers give easy access to the septic system without disturbing the soil above the tank. If you need help with your septic system, rely on the experts at A to Z Dependable Services.
Professional septic tank pumping helps prevent drain backups due to your septic tank. Septic backup can be quite unruly to deal with and having your tank pumped by professionals at least one per year will significantly reduce drain backup in your home.
If you use a water well for your water supply, you are likely familiar with the perils of water contamination. Having a septic tank system installed helps separate these contaminants and liquid waste from invading your water supply. When your septic tank gets too full, it cannot properly separate the contaminants, causing them to infiltrate your water supply. By pumping your septic tank, you can ensure your tank is in good working order and eliminate potential contaminants in your water supply.
As with most appliances and plumbing systems in your home, having the proper annual maintenance performed on your septic tank will greatly reduce the chance of costly repairs. By enlisting our team to take care of your septic tank, not only will you prevent repairs, but you will greatly extend the lifespan of your septic tank altogether.
When your septic tank gets too full, your toilets will start to flush slowly, or flush with that slow gurgling or bubbling sound. By pumping your tank, your toilets should start to flush normally again. It should be noted that any time your toilets are flushing slowly or making gurgling sounds, you should have a professional out to your home. This could be due to a full septic tank or a clog in your pipes. In either case, you will need professional assistance right away.
Unfortunately, many homeowners are familiar with the smell of toxic sulfur as a result of a neglected septic tank. When raw sewage escapes your septic tank, it produces a foul, sulfury odor that permeates the area. Having your septic tank regularly pumped will greatly reduce those nasty smells.
When sewage escapes your septic tank and runs off into nearby water sources, it can be extremely harmful to wildlife and even other humans! Sewage and toxic waste can be a serious health hazard and having your tank annually pumped can reduce the chance of sewage runoff and ensure everyone remains healthy and safe.
Additionally, if you begin to notice patches of grass in your yard that are particularly vibrant or long, there is probably something wrong with your septic tank and will likely require professional attention.
