Septic tanks are simple yet powerful waste management solutions for modern homes, freeing homeowners from the unpredictability of city sewer systems. Of course, handy though septic tanks may be, they’re not impervious to issues—with sewage backups chief among them. Though a septic tank is designed to break down waste and filter it out day after day, sometimes the volume of waste put in exceeds its ability to flush it out.

Signs That Your Septic Tank is Full
Septic tanks need to be emptied out about once every three to five years. Of course, the exact pumping frequency for your home will vary depending on the size of your tank and your household. If you’re between septic service appointments and notice any of the following signs, call Patriot Services today to have your septic tank inspected and pumped!
How Does a Septic Tank Work?
Your septic tank is essentially a mini wastewater treatment plant for your home! Knowing how it works can help you be protective in its care and keeping. Solid waste settles at the bottom of the tank, where natural bacteria break it down. Lighter materials like grease float to the top. From there, the clarified liquid in the middle, called effluent, flows out to a drain field. This drain field treats the effluent further through the soil before it reaches groundwater. Regular pumping of the tank is important because it removes built-up solids to keep things running smoothly.
