Thinking About When To Clean Out Your Septic Tank?

Lake Norman Septic

Today, there are about one-third of US citizens, who have a septic tank or system installed in their homes.  It almost always functions right and it helps them to treat the waste that they produce on a daily basis.  Most of you may not know it, but septic tanks or systems, are actually quite simple and it does not take much technology to make them work.  Our ancestors had their own type of septic systems and today, we have barely modified a few things, from the creations that they made thousands of years ago.

Septic systems are basically made out of a single pipe, which takes all of your household’s waste to a single place.  Other pipes are connected to this main pipe, so that they can transfer all of the waste that goes through them, to same reservoir.  These pipes need to have a gradual inclination, as this will allow waste to flow easily and to reach the place where it will be treated.

Once waste is in your septic tank, you can both treat it and leave it there for a few months, or you can call some professionals, to haul all that waste away for you. The question is how often you should clean out your septic tank, or how can you easily treat your own waste and wait for a few months to haul it all way.

According to some experts, it would be wise to get your septic tank and system, pumped at least once per year, but there are many people, who prefer to get this done more than once every twelve months.   It will all depend, on what level of cleanliness you want for your home and how large your family is.
