In Valparaiso (Valpo), there are two main methods of household waste treatment: city sewer systems or septic systems. Whichever system your Valparaiso, Indiana, home uses is effective but each has their own maintenance needs. One of the biggest differences between city sewer and septic systems is that septic tanks require pumping, whereas sewer lines do not.
Septic tank pumping in Valparaiso removes the wastes from septic tanks to prevent damage and save homeowners from costly repairs. Septic tank cleaning is vital to maintaining proper function of your septic tank. To better understand this, let’s first explain how septic tanks work.
When you generate waste in your Valparaiso home, it is carried through pipes to your septic tank. It moves to your tank via gravity or with the help of a pump. Once waste reaches your septic tank, it separates into three unique layers:
The outlet of the septic tank leads to the drainfield, which is the underground area where liquid wastes are filtered. The effluent leaves the tank and enters perforated pipes that allow the liquid wastes to disperse into the ground. Here, the effluent is processed by the soil and underground biome.
The drainfield is only able to process liquid wastes. However, there are solid wastes inside of your tank as well. Because of this, septic tank pumping is essential. If the solid waste layers build up and begin to block the inlet for your septic tank, sewage will back up into your home. If the solid wastes block your septic tank outlet, the effluent cannot pass through effectively and solid wastes may enter your drainfield. The solid wastes can then travel to the surface of your Valpo yard, creating a dangerous health hazard and producing foul smells. This is where septic tank cleaning comes in.
To avoid expensive repairs and prevent excessive damage to your septic tank, septic tank pumping in Valparaiso is essential. Without regular septic tank cleaning, you will be left with:
