Why The Septic Tank Pumping Elgin IL Plumbers Can Perform Will Protect Your Family Health

By John Davis


The scourge of home owners, everywhere, is the smell and mess that occurs when you notice that, when you flush, the waste water does not go down the drain. This may present as waste water coming up out of the drain. It may also be that the problem is you have a soggy backyard and it definitely smells like this is something other than fresh water. This may be the best time to contact a plumbing company for the septic tank pumping Elgin IL home owners call when they have the same indications.

A tank is a container that is buried, usually, in the backyard and has a pipe from the house to it. The waste water drains out of the home and goes into this. All of the solids fall to the bottom and the liquid waste floats on the top. There is another pipe that allows this liquid to flow out of the container when a certain level is met.

The filling up of this container allows the liquid, on top, to drain out. It goes through the pipe connected to it and into a fairly long drainage field. This is created out of soil, gravel and sand to allow it to leech into the soil and then to the ground water. The soil and sand filters it somewhat so there is no raw sewage actually going into this ground water.

In the bottom of this tank, the solids are decomposing, through a chemical reaction activated by natural enzymes. Most plumbers recommend that additional enzymes be applied on a regular schedule so that this solid material is broken down easily. When this reaction is no longer happening, the pipes can get clogged by the rising solids or other greasy components of the waste water.

The problem you may be experiencing occurs when the pipe into the unit becomes clogged with greasy material that has not been broken down properly. There also may be a problem with the outlet pipe. If the waste water cannot get into and or out of the tank, it backs up and we know what that means.

Calling a tanker company to come and clean your septic system out is easy enough. They will come with a large truck with a pumping and container system. The hoses they need to get into your tank will also be there. This hose is actually composed of a number of hose sections that can be assembled fairly easily.

The hose will be put together and snaked into the top of your container, after they have dug down into the soil to get to it. The pump will be turned on and the sucking noise you hear will be the cleaning out of months, probably years, of sludge and other waste elements. This material, because of the contents containing diseases, germs and dangerous bacteria will have to be disposed of in special places designated by the health department.

After the tank has been pumped out, the crewmen or women will also use pressurized water to clean the sides and access port of the unit. This is to assist in removing any of the more greasy material from the sides and ports. This will then be followed by the addition of those enzymes that can help break down all of the waste in the tank going forward.
