Septic Pump

If You Live in Walton County, Septic Pumping is Part of the Package

There are parts of the state where septic systems are more common than sewer hook up.  In Walton County, septic pumping is a routine sight.  There are a large number of households that are fitted out with their own wells and septic systems, and a septic system requires regular service.

Did you Take Care of your System after the Floods? –

If you live in the area that was affected by the fall floods, there are certain things you should have done once you returned home.

Even if you were fortunate enough not to have suffered any damage to your home, you should still have your system inspected to make sure that it wasn’t disturbed by the changes in the water table.  As the waters rose in the area, the ground got saturated and your septic system may have settled, creating problems with drainage both from the home and in the leach field.

If you have a regular septic service, a quick call will get them to come out and conduct an inspection of your system.  The leach field will be assessed, the tank inspected and the flow will be checked to make sure that everything is still in good working order.

Regular Pumping Keeps the System Happy –

Every septic system needs to be pumped out on a regular schedule.  Unless you have a particularly large or small tank, you can usually expect to have your tank pumped every two to three years.

The tank works by providing a place for waste water to rest while the solids settle to the bottom and the scum rises to the top.  Ideally only liquid material exits the tank and heads to the leach field, and that liquid should sit in the tank for about 24 hours.

If the tank is overfull, the liquids don’t stay in the tank long enough, resulting in a greater level of potential contaminants reaching the soil.  Those contaminants can affect ground water in your area, raising bacterial levels to dangerous proportions.

A Routine Process That Has Some Complexity –

Pumping out a tank isn’t a particularly glamorous job, but it does have some complexity.  The tank is only one part of the system and a good service will check to make sure the whole operation looks to be in proper order.

The leach field, the piping, inlet and outlet ports, baffles and more all need to be checked and evaluated.  The tank is assessed as well and any suspected cracks or damage are investigated.  The pumping requires a bit of know-how and is usually a routine matter.

If your current septic contractor isn’t doing a good job, do some homework and find a company that does.  Septic tanks may not be glamorous, and few people think much about them, but when things go wrong, regrets can be expensive.
