Septic Tank Pumping Orange County

Grease trap cleaning is a common sewage system used in homes and businesses when sewer systems are either too far or not available. They store wastewater from bathtubs, showers, toilets, sinks and washing machines. Wastewater goes into a tank buried underground, where solids sink to the bottom and bacteria break them down into sludge. The blackwater, or effluent, drains to a drain field through sloped pipes.

When left unchecked, the septic tank will fill up with sludge, and the sludge can leak into the drain field and leach line, causing a costly backup in your home or business. Regular septic tank pumping in Orange County helps to prevent this.

How to Choose a Septic Tank Pumping Service in Orange County, NY

A septic tank should be pumped out every 2-3 years, depending on use. However, if your family is large, you have attached suites, or the septic system backs up frequently, you may need to increase the pump-out frequency.

Sticking to a regular pumping schedule reduces the cost per pump because there is less waste to remove. Waiting until the tank is full is an expensive recipe for disaster because broken tanks, clogs, and spills are much more likely when too long goes by between visits from your septic system specialist.

Avoiding flushing things that aren’t supposed to be flushed will also help. Items like paper towels, wet wipes, dental floss, and feminine products can wreak havoc on a septic system. They block the bacterial balance that breaks down the solids and they can clog the drain lines.
