Septic Tank & Sewer Experts

Septic systems and dumpsters do not offer much of a difference between them. They exist solely for the reason of the proper disposal of wastes. Similarly, they are monitored by experts to ensure that they do not leak into and contaminate our groundwater, the source of our drinking water. To be more in-depth with how a septic system functions, first, let us know its key components. The septic system is made up of a septic tank, a drain field, and a soil absorption field or a percolation area.

These components are the reason for how a septic system observes proper and effective disposal of solids and liquids waste found in the sewage or wastewater. But how does the septic system work? Moreover, what is the septic tank’s main role?

A septic tank is a first and foremost step upon the treatment of our effluent: It separates the liquid wastes from the solid ones. Furthermore, it is a watertight vessel located just underneath the ground. It contains and stores our effluent for a sufficient amount of time so that the solid waste particles could settle to the bottom of the tank while the liquid waste particles such as grease and oil could float upwards.

The solid wastes that have sunk down essentially form sludge while the grease and oil are now referred to as scum. This separation is due to the bacteria that can be found in the wastewater. This bacteria is responsible for the decomposition of solid waste particles. Hence the separation which will allow for the easier progression of the remaining wastewater into the drain field, our next step.

The drain field then ejects and disperses the wastewater into the soil in order to kill all the toxins, disease-causing bacteria, and viruses that the effluent contains. This is made possible due to the microorganisms or microbes found in the soil. This is conducted to prevent the potential contamination of wastewater to groundwater. As such there are different types of septic systems, tanks, and drain fields.
