Greer Emergency Septic Service: What Constitutes a Septic Tank Emergency

Some homes, particularly those out in rural areas, are not connected to city sewer systems. Rather, they have individual septic systems to trap and treat household water waste. While the initial cost of septic system installation is costly, if it is maintained properly it can provide you with reliable service for years and years. They provide a system that allows for the wastewater to be removed from your home. They are usually easy to maintain with proper care, but neglecting your septic tank can result in costly overhauls or worse, require emergency maintenance to eliminate clogged or failed systems. Emergency situations require fast attention.

What Is a Septic Tank and How Does It Work?

Septic systems are underground wastewater treatment structures, commonly used in rural areas without centralized sewer systems. They use a combination of nature and proven technology to treat wastewater from household plumbing produced by bathrooms, kitchen drains, and laundry.

A typical septic system consists of a septic tank and a drain field, or soil absorption field.

The septic tank digests organic matter and separates floatable matter (e.g., oils and grease) and solids from the wastewater. Soil-based systems discharge the liquid (known as effluent) from the septic tank into a series of perforated pipes buried in a leach field, chambers, or other special units designed to slowly release the effluent into the soil.

When the septic tank is maintained correctly, it can serve your home well, generating all the wastewater from your home.

Preventative Steps to Take To Preserve Your Septic System

To keep your system from failing faster than normal, it is crucial that you not use more water than you absolutely have to since using too much water is one of the main reasons that septic systems fail in the first place. You will also want to avoid using additives since they will do more harm to your system than good.

Avoid paving over, driving over and parking on top of your septic system. If it is possible, try your best not to direct excess rainwater to the spot where your septic system is buried. Septic tank water navigates through laterals before draining through soil. If the ground is already wet where the septic tank water drains, there is a chance that the water will start to back up either into your system or your ground pool. Always ensure that yard drainage and downspouts are redirected to other locations on your lawn.

It is recommended that you install inspection ports and risers. Septic systems are buried, which makes them hard to thoroughly inspect for problems. It is easy to install a small inspection port so that you can check your system.

What our clients say...

Professional and courteous; answered all my questions.

"Dail was incredible to come out and service our septic system on a Sunday afternoon. He did an incredible job only digging up a small area of the yard to pump out the septic tank. He cleaned, flushed, and pumped out our tank within an hour. There’s not a lot of people that do this work on a Sunday. He really came through for us. This allowed us not to miss any time away from work. We were fortunate enough to have this taken care of before the holidays. Thanks Dail for the incredible work!"
