Septic Tank & Grease Trap FAQs
What is the purpose of a septic tank?
A septic tank is an underground system designed to treat wastewater using a natural filtering process. Wastewater from your home or business flows into the tank, where solids settle at the bottom, and liquids are filtered through the soil. This system helps manage waste in an environmentally friendly and efficient way.
How long does a septic tank last?
With proper maintenance, a septic tank can typically last for decades. Regular inspections, professional pumping, and avoiding improper waste disposal can significantly extend its lifespan.
How often should I have my septic tank serviced?
It’s recommended to have your septic tank inspected and pumped every 3-5 years, depending on its size and usage. Regular maintenance ensures the system runs efficiently and prevents costly repairs.
