A properly functioning Jacksonville Septic Tank Pumping can be essential to keeping your home or business in good shape. But a septic system can also cause big problems when it is overloaded with solid waste and harmful chemicals. Getting your septic tank pumped regularly will help to avoid this and protect the health of those who live or work on your property.

Benefits of Professional Septic Tank Pumping

Septic tanks are made of fiberglass, concrete or polyethylene and are buried underground on your property. They serve as a holding space for household wastewater until solid wastes can separate and sink down to the bottom of the tank where they combine with other solid wastes to create a sludge layer. Liquid waste is then carried into the drain field through a series of porous pipes. There, gravity and anaerobic bacteria break down the septic waste and neutralize any pathogens that might otherwise reach groundwater supplies.

You can measure how much sludge is in your tank using a simple DIY tool. Just take a seven foot stick, attach a 18-24 inch strip of velcro to it and lower the velcro end down into your septic tank until you feel it hit the bottom of the tank. You can then estimate the sludge level based on how many inches of sludge are at the velcro end of your stick.

A qualified septic pumping company will come to your home or business with a truck that is equipped with a giant tank and a hose that literally “sucks up” the sewage from your septic tank once it is opened. This sewage is then transported to a local septic processing site and properly disposed of.
