A septic tank in South Gate is, basically, a container that connects to your residence’s plumbing and sits on the ground outside. This receptacle gets full of wastewater from your house through pipes connected to bathrooms and sinks. When it reaches its optimum capacity, which varies based on how many people that are living inside as well as other variables like water usage habits or local legislations controling the installation of an additional draining system for large homes (known as secondary drain), you can pump it out by connecting it to a sewer pumping truck. These vehicles function in a similar way to vacuum cleaners and suck up whatever liquid they encounter right into their tanks until full so the liquid does not overflow onto roads.
Malfunction of septic tank in South Gate systems typically suggests failure of the drain receptacles. Failure is most commonly seen in older systems built with a single non-alternating water drainage receptacle, specifically if large quantities of water are regularly used, or in systems that have not been correctly set up or maintained. In systems that have been used for time, the dirt surrounding the water drainage receptacle can begin to clog up. Effluent is less able to freely soak into the surrounding soil and begins to accumulate in the water drainage receptacle until it fills.
When this happens, the following can happen:
In either case, a plumbing or water drainage contractor must be called in for repair work.
When soils surrounding the drainage receptacle clog, remedial steps are needed. These might include pumping out of the whole system and replacement of the clogged up soil or the installation of an additional drainage receptacle and diverter box to permit the old drainage receptacle to be rested.
