The process involved during a septic tank pumping might be a mystery to most people. This shouldn’t be the case, as a septic tank is a critical part of a sewage treatment system that isn’t connected to a main sewage network. These tanks are used by a quarter of the population, particularly in the suburbs and in rural areas, so understanding the process of septic tank pumping is important for many homeowners. To shed some light on the procedure, A-1 Septic Tank & Drain Service has a few insights to share. The company has provided septic tank services to Coldwater, MS, and the surrounding area for years and has well-trained experts with extensive experience in the industry.

Septic tank pumping begins with determining how to access the tank. Experienced technicians are skilled enough to do this if you aren’t familiar with where your tank is located. Afterward, levels in the tank are gauged. During this time, a septic professional will examine if there are any problems with the pipe. If no problems are found, they will then lower a vacuum-like hose into the tank and begin the actual process of emptying the septic system.

On-site, the pumper will watch for a number of things. If there are liquid levels in the tank that are too high, it might indicate a problem. Likewise, a problem with excessive backflow might be a sign that there are issues in the drain field system. In most cases, the process goes smoothly. With septic tank pumping completed, the sludge along the corners of the tank will be removed and the walls of the tank cleaned.

There’s no need for fuss or trouble at any point of the pumping or cleaning process.
