The Importance of Septic Tanks in Residential Properties in Lakewood

A septic tank in Lakewood is, essentially, a container that connects to your residence’s plumbing and sits on the ground outside. This receptacle gets loaded with wastewater from your house through pipelines connected to toilets and sinks. When it reaches its maximum capacity, which varies based on the amount of people that are living inside as well as other aspects like water usage practices or local legislations managing the installation of an additional draining system for large homes (known as secondary drain), you can pump it out by connecting it to a sewage pumping truck. These vehicles function in a similar way to vacuum cleaners and suck up whatever liquid they encounter into their containers until full so the liquid does not overflow onto roads.

septic tank in Lakewood System Issues

Failing of septic tank in Lakewood systems usually indicates failure of the drain receptacles. Failure is most commonly seen in older systems constructed with a single non-alternating drain receptacle, especially if large volumes of water are regularly used, or in systems that have not been correctly installed or maintained. In systems that have been used for time, the soil surrounding the drain receptacle can start to clog up. Effluent is much less able to freely soak into the surrounding dirt and begins to gather in the drainage receptacle until it fills.

When this occurs, the following can occur:

• Sewage starts to back up into household pipes. This is generally very first noticed when household components such as the toilet or kitchen sink won’t drain away easily, or you notice sewage overflowing from a little grated pipe located outside the building called an overflow relief disconnector gully.
• The ground becomes soggy around the drainage receptacle and effluent may leak from the dirt to the surface area. This smells unpleasant and is a health and wellness risk.

In either situation, a plumbing or drain professional must be contacted for repair work.

When dirts surrounding the water drainage receptacle blockage, remedial procedures are necessary. These may include pumping out of the whole system and substitute of the stopped up soil or the installation of an additional drainage receptacle and diverter box to permit the old drainage receptacle to be rested.
