Septic Tanks

More than likely, your home utilizes a septic tank. In the United States, more than 25 million households do. When any type of waste goes down the drain and leaves a household or a building, it goes straight into the septic tank. A septic tank is made up of three components: water-like substances, solids, and floatables.

Since a septic tank contains many types of things, many of which are not exactly pleasant, it is not something you want to have problems with. A problem with your septic tank can present many overall unsanitary problems. Some of the many reasons that you may need to contact a plumber regarding your septic tank:

• You are building a new home
• Sewage is leaking into your yard
• You need to replace your current septic tank
• It is backing up
• You suspect your septic tank has a broken or crushed sewer line
• It needs to be pumped out and inspected

Septic tanks come in different sizes and allow for large amounts of water to flow per day. The average size septic tank is about 1,500 gallons, which is suited for a four person household. This allows approximately 200 to 400 gallons of water to flow each day. Of course, you may require a larger septic tank, especially if it is for a business. A plumber can help to answer your questions.
