Gainesville GA Septic Tank Pumping has been the cause of debate for years, but according to Master Rooter, avoiding the necessary task, could have expensive ramifications.
Master Rooter explains that your septic tank system receives raw wastewater from your home and is designed to remove the heavier than water particles. The heavy particles settle to the floor of the tank separating from the grease and oil.
On one hand, you have property owners who will tell you that they never pump their septic tank as it works perfectly, however, without regular pumping you really do have a disaster waiting to happen on your hands. Most septic tank problems will not rear their ugly heads until it is too late. If that occurs you will be up for expensive repairs or a replacement.
The pumping industry recommends that the scum and sludge layers in your septic tank system should never fill more than 30 percent of the entire volume of your septic tank. With that being said, it takes about five years for any average one adult household to fill 300 gallons with sludge and scum for a 1000-gallon septic tank system with scum and sludge. A family of four would require pumping every one and a half years to three years. By making the necessary adjustments, it is quite easy to presume that you should schedule Gainesville GA Septic Tank Pumping once every two to three years.
Septic tank systems are designed to allow the heavier particles to settle down into the tank creating a layer of sludge. The lighter than water particles will remain on the top creating a scum layer. The biodegradable organics that are located in your septic tank system will decompose as long as you schedule regular Gainesville GA Septic Tank Pumping from Master Rooter.
