Septic Tank Service Is Better Choice for Homeowners Waste Remove

If you are home owner, then use the septic system for waste disposal, there are some things that you should know. The frequency of Septic Tank Services is determined primarily by the size of the septic tank and the amount of waste material being processed. Since more than liquid waste is processed by the system, I thought I would devote a little time to the discussion of the solid material that goes into these systems. It is important to know what should and what should not go into them.

Solid Material Amount
one of the determining factors for the frequency of Septic tank services is the amount of Solid Waste Removal that is going into your system. The more solid material that collects at the bottom of the tank, the less room there is in the tank for liquids to be processed. And, the solid material decomposes to some degree but will build up as sludge that needs to be removed to provide appropriate processing space.

So, how do you limit the amount of solid waste going into your system? Here are some tips for controlling this material.

Limit the use of garbage disposal. Garbage disposal actually double the amount of solid waste in your system and require more frequent pumping.

Do not use too much water. (A good limit is 50 gallons per person per day.)

Do not add Small equipment such as facial tissues, hygiene products, or cigarette butts to wastewater.

Do not pour cooking oils or grease down the drain.

Maintain a grass or other vegetative covering over the drain field.

There are some things that absolutely should not be put into your septic system.

Cooking grease

Cooking grease, oils or fats should be placed in a container and put in household garbage that will be disposed of at your local land fill. Pesticides, paints, paint thinners, solvents, disinfectants and other household chemicals are toxic substances that threaten ground water quality. They may also kill the microorganisms that help purify the sewage. For information on safe disposal of these chemicals, contact the county office of your local Cooperative Extension Service.
