Cleaning Your Septic Tank
Some household chores, like gardening, painting fences, and putting up the kids’ swing set are more pleasurable than others, like cleaning out your septic tank. Sure, you can find a company near to you that can do the job- if you like the hassle of being on their schedule and of course, there’s the cost. Luckily, there’s a way to facilitate pumping out your septic tank quickly, efficiently, and most importantly, cost-effectively: by using environmentally-friendly, biological additives to your septic system.
How Often Should I Clean My Septic Tank?
The contents of your septic tank come from different areas of your home (like sinks, toilets and drains), and carry solid and liquid waste, but they all end up in the same storage tank, usually located under one of your house-adjacent yards. How often to clean out your septic tank bears a 2-5 year recommendation, or in the unlucky instance you find yourself experiencing sluggish drains throughout your house, small pools of water on your lawns, or worst of all, an unpleasant odor whenever you go outside.
Is My Septic Tank Left Completely Empty When Flushed Out?
It’s a common misconception that your septic tank is completely emptied when it’s pumped out. Although complete evacuation is definitely an option, it is often recommended to leave a few inches of sludge at the bottom of the tank.
This helps restart the bacterial activity following a cleaning or emptying and ensures that waste and organic material that finds its way into your tank gets broken down quickly and efficiently. However, you want to make sure the sludge can be broken down at any time, and doesn’t carry any hazardous or non-environmentally friendly materials.
Why Using Biological Additives To Clean Your Septic TankBiological
If you want to ensure your septic system contains a non-toxic system that will stimulate the growth of healthy bacteria in the tank, it’s advisable to use biological additives in lieu of artificial ones. Organic additives do not reduce the bacteria population in the septic tank and ensure organic waste gets broken down quicker, making the cleaning process more efficient and cost-effective. Plus, in the unfortunate event of a leak or complication in your septic tank pump out, the added worry of toxic chemicals leaking onto your property is side-stepped.
