Miller’s Septic Tank Cleaning is used in homes that aren’t connected to the municipal sewer system. These tanks are buried underground and made of concrete, plastic or fiberglass. Sewage flows into the tank, where gravity causes solids to settle at the bottom and anaerobic bacteria break down the rest of the waste. Waste liquid drains into the septic tank’s leach field through perforations in the walls. The septic system requires regular pumping to keep it working properly.
Generally, the septic tank is recommended to be pumped and cleaned once every three to five years. However, septic tank specialists will recommend a frequency based on a home’s usage and the number of people living there. A regularly pumped and cleaned septic tank can help prolong the life of the septic system, mitigate costly repairs, and ensure proper hygiene standards in the home.
Preventing Septic Tank Problems with Miller’s Cleaning Services
When it comes time for septic tank cleaning, the first thing to do is locate the septic tank. It’s helpful to draw a map of the property with the home, driveway, and water well marked so it’s easier for the septic tank specialist to find the tank. If the septic tank isn’t visible, a camera inspection may be required to locate it.
Once the septic tank is located, the technician will check the liquid level and lower a vacuum hose into the tank to pump out the waste. They will then clean and backflush the tank to rinse out the remaining sludge and inspect it for any damage or leaks.
