If your home has a septic system, it’s important to get regular cleaning and pumping services. This prevents water and environmental pollution, reduces plumbing problems, and helps with the overall health of your home. A professional septic company can clean and inspect your septic tank and drain field, as well as replace damaged parts. They can also conduct a thorough inspection using septic cameras.
Phillips Plumbing, Wells, & Septic tank is a buried, water-tight container that holds wastewater. Solids settle in the bottom of the tank forming sludge, while oil and grease float to the top as scum. A septic pump lifts the sludge and scum from the tank into a septic tank vent or outlet, where it travels to the septic drainfield area. A septic tank should be pumped every 3 to 5 years, depending on usage and household size.

The drainfield is a network of perforated pipes that removes remaining impurities from the wastewater before it enters groundwater or surface water. The septic tank and drainfield are designed to work together to keep the wastewater free of contaminants.
Keeping a clean house, using water efficiently, and limiting food waste can significantly reduce the load on your septic system. Regular septic tank inspections can spot problems early on and save you money in the long run.
It’s important to not plant trees within 30 feet of the septic system, as their roots can clog pipes. Never park or drive over your septic system, as it can cause the tank and drainfield to collapse. Lastly, if you have concerns about septic service companies, consider seeking legal advice or joining a homeowners association.
