All Out Septic - About Septic Pumping

About Septic Pumping & Cleaning Process:

We specialize in conventional systems,

mound systems and holding tanks.

When we clean your septic system, we first pump all waste from your tank using a method called back flushing. Back flushing is the process of cleaning your tank using vacuum suction and injecting water into the tank to break up the scum layer so as to be sure we have removed the scum and sludge from your tank.

The septic tank should be pumped through the larger manhole, not the baffle inspection ports. A septic tank cannot be thoroughly cleaned through the baffle ports. If cleaning is attempted through the baffles, small holes may be damaged in the process. This may have several significant consequences on your septic system's operation.

Septic Tank Maintenance:

Following these guidelines below and observing the warning signs will help to ensure a long-lasting sewage system. Avoid expensive repairs or replacements and protect everyone's water supply. Do Not Wait until your septic system shows signs of failure to have your septic tank pumped out! Waiting can mean complete clogging & an expensive septic system repair bill. Periodic septic tank pumping is far less costly, then septic tank repair, or replacing the entire septic tank system.

1. Have the septic tank pumped out every two to three years. This will remove the accumulated sludge and scum which would other wise reach the tile field and cause blockage resulting in a malfunctioning sewage system and costly repairs. This is the single most effective means of ensuring a long-lasting sewage system.

2. It is always wise to practice water conservation.

3. Use soaps and detergents which are low in phosphates. Most automatic dishwashing detergents contain high concentrations of phosphates.

4. Do not flush hazardous chemicals such as paints, varnish, thinners, waste oil, pesticides, photographic solutions, etc.

5. Do not flush coffee grinds, dental floss, disposable diapers, kitty litter, sanitary napkins, tampons, cigarette butts, condoms, fat, grease or oil, paper towels, etc.

6. Commercial septic tank additives are not necessary and not recommended.

7. Be alert to these warning signs:

* Sewage surfacing over the tile field

* Sewage back-up in the house

* Mushy ground or greener grass

* Slow draining toilet or other drains

* Sewage odors

Many homeowners don't know where their septic tank is. The tank is buried and forgotten, along with the rest of the
system, until sewage is ankle deep in the basement or bubbles up in the yard. Then, the septic tank system is unfairly criticized for failing to do its job. How many people would buy an expensive car and never change the oil? Similarly, regular maintenance of your septic system, by pumping and using a bacterial additive, is necessary to ensure it's proper operation.

Remember that the septic tank is a settling tank which collects and stores sewage solids. When the storage gets full, the tank must be cleaned and pumped. Typically, the average household should consider having their tank pumped every 2 to 5 years, to ensure proper operation.
