Septic Tank Service offered by Fred A. Cook Jr. in Montrose, NY
Septic System Cleaning
Septic tank pumping and septic tank cleaning are two terms often interchanged. While similar, the two services are different in one significant way.
Both services require the use of a vacuum truck. Septic tank pumping is a quicker service that removes a tank’s liquid, leaving the sludge behind. Septic cleaning is when you vacuum both the liquids and solids from a septic tank, taking the time to ensure the tank is empty.
A septic tank works by separating sludge and scum from clear wastewater. Bacteria in the tank help break down solid wastes and toilet paper into sludge that sinks to the tank’s bottom. Fats, grease, and other oils, or scum, float to the surface. What is left in between is clear wastewater that drains into dispersal fields or sewage treatment.
A commercial property that only has septic tank pumping performed can quickly build up a sizable amount of sludge in their septic tank. The longer between septic tank cleanings, the more difficult it becomes to remove the sludge. This build-up can cause clogs, backups, or even more hazardous situations.
When a commercial septic tank is full, the sludge and scum need emptying, requiring a thorough septic cleaning. While a properly designed and maintained septic system only needs occasional septic pumping, many factors decided how long between cleanings your system can go:
-
The system’s design and age
-
The number of people the system handles
-
Weather and ground conditions
-
System abuse
Actions To Avoid Blockage of Septic System
Here are some ways people abuse their commercial septic system, causing the need for services sooner rather than later.
Flushing Items Not Meant for Septic Systems
Items not intended for septic tanks include diapers, sanitary pads, tampons, cigarette butts, and coffee grounds. These items cannot be broken down in a septic tank and can clog pipes.
Overloading a Garbage Disposal
Overuse of a garbage disposal may send too much solid waste that bacteria will struggle to break down efficiently enough.
Synthetic Fibers From Washing Machines
The bacteria cannot break down synthetic fibers that drain from your washing machines. You can reduce this by ensuring your washer’s filters and drain pipes are clean.
Dumping Excess Amounts of Cleaning Agents Down the Drain
These chemicals can kill the live bacteria in your septic tank that break down solid wastes.
Planting Trees or Shrubs Too Close To Your Septic System
Roots from trees and shrubs can grow into your septic tank, causing clogs and backups.
Four Signs You Need Septic Tank Pumping
Even with proper care and maintenance, there will come a time when your septic system needs to be pumped.
1. Slow Drains and Flushing
If any drains in your building, such as a sink, shower, or toilet drain, seem inefficient or slow, then it is a sure sign your septic tank needs cleaning. At this point, you could call a commercial septic tank cleaning company, such as Fred A. Cook Jr.
2. Odor
The more full a septic tank is, the less air there is for the gases that build up inside it. When there is no more room left, the gases escape through your drains or over your drain field, causing a strong smell of sulfur or sewage.
3. Standing Water
If there is standing water above your business’s drainage field, then your problem of a full septic tank is almost at critical levels. Standing water occurs when a septic tank is so full it overflows in the ground above it.
4. Sewage Backup
If at any point raw sewage starts backing up through the drains of your commercial property, it has become an issue requiring emergency service. While a good septic tank cleaning may help solve the problem, you will need a full septic system inspection to ensure there is no damage. Fred A. Cook Jr. is available 24/7 to provide commercial emergency service for cases like these.
