Think Your Drain Field Isn’t Working Properly?
There are a number of reasons why a drain field can have problems. When the clean water in the drain field is not able to properly drain can be a big problem.
If a septic tank isn’t pumped regularly sludge can build up and block incoming pipes and clog lines going into the drain field.
Only bodily waste and toilet paper should be flushed down the toilet. Non-biodegradable objects take up room in the septic tank and don’t break down. Even these so called ‘flushable’ products, often don’t break down enough for a septic tank.
Oil, grease and fat are toxic to a septic system. Not only does it clog the drain field, the soil can stop absorbing liquids. If not addressed, it may require a new drain field.
Since roots grow towards water and find their way into the pipe and even the tank, causing disease causing organisms to be released into the ground.
Too much water in the septic tank may not give the solid waste enough time to break down and allowing it to pass through to the drain field.
There are techniques to restore the drain field. It is important to remember, pouring chemicals or putting anything down the drain can damage pipes, causing even more damage. The professionals at Orlando Septic Service uses only safe and effective methods.
