What You Should Know About Santa Fe Septic Tanks

If there is a septic tank on your property, you should know a little bit about how it works so that you can better assess when it may require service. A septic tank can typically hold between 1,000 and 2,000 gallons. Water and “sludge” pass from the drains to the tank. The tank holds the “sludge,” which sinks to the bottom, while water, or effluent, pours out through a pipe.

That effluent is first treated by anaerobic bacteria, which can break down organic material. Water then goes out to the drain field, a series of outlet pipes or “leach lines” leading out to your yard, and seeps into the soil.

Maintenance Is Important For Santa Fe Septic Tanks

It’s important to keep your septic tank in the best condition possible. This includes having the tank pumped by a specialist every three to five years. Besides, you should avoid allowing these items into the drains. While this is true for most homes, the effects are dire in a septic system.

Coffee grounds
Cigarette butts
Eggshells
Baby wipes
Fats, grease, and oil

Ensure your family knows what can and cannot be flushed—store fats leftover from cooking in a separate container instead of pouring it down the sink.

When to Call For Santa Fe Septic Tank Service

It’s important to call for routine septic tank service, as sludge can build up and overflow otherwise. This is something you want to avoid at all costs. If you’re unsure how often you need to pump your septic tank, our plumbers can examine your system and help you figure it out.

It’s also important to service your tank when you suspect any problem. If the drains keep clogging up, if you detect an odor, or if you have reason to suspect something harmful has been flushed, it’s time to call in an expert.
