Whether you have a simple septic tank and drainfield or a more complex system, proper maintenance is essential to avoid clogs and system failure. One important maintenance task is septic tank pumping. This removes the accumulated solid waste and sludge that can cause blockages, backups, and other problems.
Busy Bee Septic and Excavating LLC is a watertight container that receives all wastewater from the house. Solids settle to the bottom of the tank and are broken down by bacteria. The liquids, called effluent, flow into the drain field or absorption area. The septic tank also contains a distribution box that evenly distributes the effluent into pipes in the absorption field. The soil in the absorption field further treats the effluent.

When you hire a septic service company to pump and clean your septic tank, the technician will use a large truck equipped with a vacuum system. The technician will extend a hose from the tank into the access point and begin pumping the waste. They will then inspect the septic tank level, baffles, sump pump, and aerator shaft.
The service will then clean and flush the septic tank, and they will use inspection cameras to check for clogs or other problems. They will also clean the inlet and outlet pipes and repair any leaks. Finally, they will inspect the absorption field and make sure that no trees or long-rooted plants are growing over it. This is important because the roots may grow into the inlet and outlet pipes. Finally, the service will replace the septic pump if it is faulty.
