How Septic Systems Work
The centerpiece of every septic system is the tank. The tank is buried underground, and wastewater from the home is sent through a pipe and poured into the tank, where natural processes treat the wastewater. Much of the solid matter is separated from the liquid and broken down, with the clearer water that results sent into a drain field or similar part. Before installing the tank and the rest of a septic system, a wastewater service will examine the yard and figure out what kind of system design will fit the property best. During the installation, a portion of the yard will have to be dug up, but once the system is in place, the holes will be filled in, and the yard can return to normal.
Use and Maintenance
Proper use and maintenance of a septic system largely revolves around keeping the tank working great. It is important not to drive vehicles over the area where the tank and the rest of the system is buried, and also not to let big plants grow over them, such as trees or bushes, that could send roots deep into the ground. Grass, however, is fine, and most people will want to plant it over the area. Never flush plastics and other tough solids, as these can cause problems in the tank and pipes. Flushing strong chemicals, such as paints and pesticides, can also cause serious issues. Getting the tank pumped occasionally will keep it functioning right because over time waste solids will build up in the tank. A wastewater service will be able to tell when it needs to be pumped.
