There are serious consequences that will follow
when you avoid septic tank pumping you need to
understand how it works for you to appreciate why
pumping is important. The septic tank has been
designed to with the ability to hold and process
waster for only one or two days this allows the
waste to separate. The solids will fall to the
bottom, the liquids go to the middle while the
lightest liquids such as oil and grease will
float at the top. Anaerobic bacteria will help to
decompose the solid waste remains at the bottom
as well as the ultra-light liquids for longer
term decomposition while everything else gets
pushed out every time more waste water comes into
the tank. Most of the time this waste water is
washed to the drain field where it dissipated
without any cause for trouble.

When your septic tank is not cleaned out
regularly, several things are bound to take place
where the most important of them all is
sanitation. When the tank is not cleaned
routinely, there will be too many solids
accumulating at the bottom of the tank. The
resultant effect is that the liquids at the
middle will be forced to exit the tank faster and
sooner than they really should. This means that
there will not be enough time for the requisite
separation to take place so that the unsanitary
by products will be washed to the drain field.
The solids that force their way out with the
liquids can easily lead to clogging and damage to
the drain field which may not be replaced
eventually.

During the process of septic tank pumping, all
the solids at the bottom of the tank are removed
so that there is room for fresh waste water to
come in for processing the wastewater will be
able to come in, circulate as required and
separate accordingly. This is a form of
maintenance that you need to have done regularly
because the costs associated with it are minimal.
The amount you will be charged for septic tank
pumping will be determined by the complexity and
size of your system. While having it done once a
year may appear to be expensive, this cost cannot
be compared with having to install a completely
new septic system or doing a new drain field.
