Being a responsible homeowner means more than making sure you have your major appliances and systems in the home checked on a regular basis, but it means that you protect the area around you as well. Some homeowners would like to think that if their septic system isn’t posing any problems then everything is working adequately. When it comes to your septic system, nothing could not be further from the truth. The truth is that Septic Pumping in Olympia, WA is recommended once every three years for a home that does not have a garbage disposal.
More facts behind this truth is that a major contaminant to a cities local water source has to do with ground water that has been compromised because of a faulty septic system. A misnomer is that a septic tank is all that is involved with a system. The tank itself is only one component and within the tank there are three distinct areas. On the bottom of the tank you have the settled sludge that will be broken down over time, the layer on top of that is the clear zone or waste water and on top is the scum that settles eventually.
The sludge on the bottom is filled with millions of microorganisms that will break down heavier waste materials. Under normal circumstances this sludge will not be able to keep up with demand and that is why Septic Pumping in Olympia, WA is recommended on a routine basis. Even if you have not had a problem with rising waste water, you may not see that the overflow is going into the leach field before it has been properly purified. Under the leach field it can then be absorbed into the ground and over time contaminate the area.
Like many major systems in a home, the last thing you want is to be forced into a situation where you have to act in an emergency basis, especially when it comes to Septic Pumping in Olympia WA. To have your home monitored and maintained on a routine basis will keep the septic from flowing or backing up into the home and causing more damage and potential hazardous situations.
