There are two primary methods for dealing with household sewage. The first is the community treatment system or municipal sewer service and the second is the septic system. The former is only available where cities, counties or other organizations provide access to treatment plants. These services may be available as part of the water utility system or as a separate function. The latter is typically found in rural areas or construction sites that require temporary solutions. In the case of construction or other temporary locations, there are rarely any leech lines installed. Instead, the tank will need to be emptied more frequently. For rural, commercial and residential septic installation in Stanwood, WA provides convenient sewage control with minimal fuss.
One of the more important aspects of sewage control is installing the correct size of tank for the job at hand. If the tank is too small, then the effluent may run out too quickly or the solid waste may not have enough time for the enzymes to break it down thoroughly. This could result in the tank filling up too quickly and the need for a visit from a septic cleaning expert. To avoid some of these problems a septic system installation in Stanwood, WA may use dual tanks or a multiple chamber tank system. Dual tanks allow the main tank to catch the solid waste while the effluent spills over to the next one. This prevents most of the solid waste from ever getting to the leech lines and causing problems.
Once the system is installed, it will take a little time before the enzymes and bacteria begin to work. One reason for this is the need for a specific amount of solid matter to build up in the tank to keep this action going. After things settle in place, the tank should function for two to three years before it requires emptying. Investing in regular cleaning and inspections should result in fewer problems and avoid the need for a new septic system. Replacing a system often happens when an old tank fails and the aging equipment doesn’t meet current standards. Sadly, this can be an expensive repair and needs to be avoided whenever possible.
