Septic tanks are fitted underground, made of fiber,
concrete, or plastic. Waste-water from homes is carried through the drainage
pipes into the septic tanks for treatment. Periodic septic tank cleaning and a well-designed
septic system work well for years. A healthy septic system is that which is
maintained aptly just like any other home appliance. The septic tanks need
replacement if they have failed to work correctly. Any waste needs draining
out, be it a residential or commercial place. When we wash utensils, clothes,
toilet waste, everything goes through a drainage pipe and collects into a
septic tank. The size of the septic tank depends on the size of the homes.
Working
of Septic tank
Three layers of waste formed inside the septic tank –
scum that floats on the water as it is greasy and oily, the effluent, which is
clear water, the treated one, and the solid waste that gathers at the bottom of
the tank.
When the wastewater from the house enters the septic
tank, the anaerobic bacteria starts breaking down the waste organic materials
in the effluent. The inorganic solid waste or sludge falls to the bottom. The
effluent is then let out to the drain field (drain field is an outlet pipe). A
large area of drain septic field helps bacteria to thrive and the water from
the septic tank seeps into the ground. The drain field has holes in them that
allow the water to seep into the groundwater.
Consequences
of uncleaned septic tanks
If the septic tanks are not cleaned properly after a
specific interval of time, it might cause the community and environment several
health hazards. The unhygienic community is ultimately going to affect the
property value. Excess sludge in the septic tank affects the bacteria’s ability
to decompose the waste. This then gets overflowed in the tank. Septic tank cleaning
by a professional is a must to avoid further losses.
