All of the waste from your home drains into a large septic tank buried outside the house (although some are above ground). The waste is then filtered through a series of tanks. The heaviest parts, or sludge, sink to the bottom of the tank, while fats, oils, and proteins float on top of the liquid (called effluent). The clear wastewater in the middle, called gray water, exits through the drain field.

The size of the septic tank and how many people live in the house affect how often it needs to be pumped. Some homeowners may need to have their septic tank pumped as soon as two years, while others can go five to 10 years without needing it pumped.

How Busy Bee Septic and Excavating LLC Keeps Your Septic System Running Smoothly

It is important to know how your septic system works and understand key maintenance tasks for a long-lasting, effective septic system. Performing these tasks will keep your system in good working condition and help prevent costly repairs.

Keeping up with regular septic tank pumping in Orange County, NY is one of the most important maintenance tasks to avoid unnecessary septic system problems and damage. A professional septic tank technician will inspect the tank level, baffles, and sump pumps during a septic tank pumping visit.

It is also important to protect the septic tank and drainfield area from vehicles, construction, and landscaping. Doing so will reduce the risk of the septic tank and drainfield failing due to soil compaction and root penetration. Landscape the area with grass to promote good soil health and limit the amount of water that runs into the septic tank and drainfield.
