A surprising amount of homes in the United States are off the grid or are in rural areas that are not connected to a centralized sewerage system. These homeowners are left to handle their wastewater treatment on their own. The most common solution for these homeowners is a septic system installation. These onsite sewage facilities are reliable alternatives to centralized sewage systems, but they have their drawbacks as well. While you are free from paying monthly sewer bills, the maintenance becomes your responsibility. Luckily, professionals like Septic Connection offer quality, reliable, and affordable septic maintenance. Possibly the most important maintenance item is septic tank cleaning.

Benefits of Septic Tank Cleaning

What Is Septic Tank Cleaning?

Septic tank cleaning is the removal of sludge from the septic tank of the septic system. This sludge is what forms as vital bacteria in the septic tank breaks down the solid waste that comes from the household. Though the process of turning solid waste into sludge saves space, the septic tank is limited in size. Eventually, the septic tank must be cleaned. Otherwise, you run the risk of clogs, sewage backups, leaks, and other damage to the septic system. Don’t neglect your septic tank’s cleaning. Call Septic Connection if it has been over two years since the last time you had your tank cleaned.

The Benefits of Septic Tank Cleaning

We understand the risks of not cleaning the septic tank: sludge can overflow into the drain field and back up into the house and even damage the plumbing system. So, it’s easy to guess the benefits of septic tank cleaning and say, “your system stays in working condition.” This is true, but there are more benefits of professional septic tank cleaning than just that. There are many benefits of having your septic tank cleaned:

  • Protect Your Family: Sewage and sludge contain harmful pathogens that can cause illness if you interact with it. Sewage leaks and spills are a threat to your health and your family’s health.
  • Saves Money: If you think a routine septic tank cleaning is expensive, wait until you see the bill for a replacement septic system. Professionals can spot issues in your system before they become a headache for you.
  • Good for The Environment: Sewage leaks don’t just harm you. Sludge can find its way down to underground water reserves, contaminating usable water.
  • Increased Effectiveness: Overfilled septic tanks will be strained. Vital bacteria in the septic tank will have a hard time doing their job and you will have a negative loop.
