Septic tanks are some of the longest-lasting systems in a home. However, they need regular checkups and maintenance every 3-4 years. Septic tanks made of concrete can deteriorate because of the hydrogen sulfide gases released. It is advisable to engage septic plumbing service providers to provide septic services. It's important to know what to expect from septic services.
When septic service arrives, they will locate and dig to expose access lids. However, this step will not be necessary if the septic tank lid is already exposed. The septic service technicians will work to ensure little interference with your landscape.
Once the lid is exposed, the technician will start pumping. However, in some instances, the solids coalesce and float on top. This can lead to effluent waste below the solids. In that case, the technician will use a mixing rod to stir the debris for smooth pumping.
The septic and plumbing service technician will also inspect the septic system to pinpoint any areas that need attention. The septic services technician covers up the lid and the exposed ground. They will provide helpful feedback, such as the need for septic tank repair or maintenance. Lastly, the technician will draw a site map for future reference.
