4 Indications That It Is Time to Have Your Septic Tank Pumped
The septic tank is the central part of your home's waste disposal system. The tank design has an inlet and outlet, the effluent filter, the scum and liquid effluent layers, and the sludge layer. The tank also contains both aerobic and anaerobic bacteria to break down the organic waste that flows into the tank. When all the components are working correctly, your waste disposal runs smoothly. However, if one feature stops working, it slows down the entire system.
