Root Intrusion in Sewer Drainlines

2012-04-28T23:09:00.000-07:00

Keep a close eye on the root systems of surrounding trees when planning a septic tank drain field install. Root intrusion is a major cause of drain field line failure. They will also form large root balls inside your septic tank and cause water flow restrictions, also the root system could cause the septic tank lid to be slightly raised and allow soil to wash in and fill the tank and taking valuable water space that allows bacteria to thrive and breakdown septic tank solids.

Sewer Water Usage

2012-02-04T21:22:00.000-08:00

We have installed a pump control,and measuring device to track water usage on a onsite sewer system and can tell the customer how much grey water their facility is producing each day. We can also control the amount of waste water we send to the drain field at one time. This control panel also has rotating pump control capability. It will also allow downloads to a SD card for use on a computor to create charts and graphs for the customer. This capability can be key in designing a on site sewer system for a large volume customer with alot of water usage.
Let us help design a sewer system that will give you many years of service.

The best thing you can do for your sewer system, and septic tank is have a septic tank pumper pump your septic tank and keep solids from getting into your leach field(drain field).

BASIC SEPTIC TANK MAINTANCE

If you have a septic tank drainage problem we can help. Chase down any cash crunching septic tank problems and drainage issues before it is too late. There are preventive measures that people that are on septic tank drain fields and have septic tanks can implement to prevent costly sewer drainage problems. One of the most popular ways to prevent drain problems is to pump out your septic tank and remove all the sludge that has built up in the septic tank over the years. It is recommended to pump a septic tank about every 3-5 years or more depending on water usage.
Also filtering the solids that may get into the drainfield pipes is a recommended practice. The solids may clog the drain field lines and create an unpenetrateable layer that water cannot pass through therefore causing drainage problems.
Please do not pour grease down your sink drain!!! This is very bad for your septic tank and drain lines.
We hope this article may help you keep a healthy septic tank and drain field for years to come.
Please call with any questions we are ready to help.
