When it comes to the functionality of your home, efficient plumbing is paramount. Septic tanks can add to the complexity of your system, such as knowing when and how they should be serviced. Fortunately, A Plus Sewer Service of New Hampton, NY, provides expert plumbing and septic services, beginning with installation and following through with septic cleaning and conscientious repairs. For more than 20 years, the technicians have put the minds of the Middletown, Orange, and Sullivan Counties at ease, knowing their household waste is under control.

To understand the need for a septic cleaning schedule, you must first understand how your tank becomes dirty. The waste begins in your home’s drains, which combine the substances into a single pipe leading out to your underground septic tank. Once at the tank, they separate into three layers based on their respective weights: sludge, scum, and effluent. The layers of sludge and scum can build up in the tank overtime, causing septic problems, which can’t be detected until they’ve already caused large-scale problems.

With too much buildup, the system will overflow, flowing back through the pipe and into your home, making burdensome, unsanitary appearances in your plumbing fixtures. An overflow can also flood the tank so much that the septage begins to rise above the ground, flooding your yard and possibly spreading into your neighbors' yard as well.

To avoid neighborly tensions, water contamination, and thousands of dollars of repairs, it's ideal to have your system checked once a year before problems arise. Let A Plus Sewer Service perform annual checkups on your septic system, so you can prevent septage catastrophes before they strike. In these inspections, their skilled technicians will be able to determine whether or not your tank has acquired the level of buildup necessary to require septic cleaning. Typically, septic tanks require this type of maintenance every one to three years, so consistent yearly checkups will allow you to take preventative action.

If it’s been a year or longer since your system has undergone septic cleaning, call A Plus Sewer Service at (845) 294-6103 today to ensure your home’s safety. Visit the website to learn more about the plumbing services offered.
