Septic Tank Cleaning- The Septic Tank and
Disposal System
A well cared fo, well-maintained septic system will remain clear and free flowing
for many years. If you neglect your system, it will eventually clog or fail which
will lead to large costs or even system replacement! A failed septic system is costly
and may become a health hazard.
Your septic system consists of a septic tank and absorption area. The purpose of
the septic tank is to collect all water coming from the household (bath water, laundry,
toilet waste, etc.) Solids settle to the bottom while scum and greases rise to the
top of the tank. Between the two areas of solid waste is liquid, which is allowed
to pass through the baffles (pipes) into the absorption area.
