The septic tank performs one of the most important and overlooked functions in your home as it manages wastewater disposal efficiently. However, over time, sludge builds up which causes odors that are a potential hazard to the environment. Septic tank cleaning should be done every 3 to 5 years as explained in the video. This septic tank cleaning overhaul is a guide to cleaning your septic tank using simple, easy-to-follow steps.
The first step in septic tank cleaning is inspecting the septic tank to check whether it needs cleaning or not. Everything that exits the house from the waste disposal pipes usually ends up in the septic tank and stays there unless it is biodegradable. This means that there is a high likelihood that you will find your septic tank filled with different types of waste.
After conducting the inspection and confirming that the septic tank needs cleaning, empty the tank using a large pipe that will suck out all the wastewater and materials. This waste usually prevents the septic tank from working efficiently. Ensure that the waste is disposed of properly according to waste management regulations by hiring a septic tank cleaning company.
The last step in septic tank cleaning is rinsing the tank using clean water to ensure that any solid waste is properly removed. Also, flush out your toilet to test whether the septic tank is ready to use. Check the tank for any leaks, then fix these to prevent future clogging.
