Action Septic Digest

At Action Septic Tank Service, we handle every phase of septic system installation for both new construction properties and the replacement of existing systems. There are a number of things to consider when installing a new septic system, including:

1. The type and size of a septic system. We take into consideration the anticipated size of the family that will live at the residence. This is usually calculated based on the number of bedrooms in the home. Larger families will need to make the choice whether to go with the standard-size septic system for their home, which will require more frequent septic pumping services and may not last as long as it should, or upgrade to a larger-capacity system. We can also perform an inspection of a home’s septic system for those looking to purchase a home to be sure the system has been maintained properly and is the size necessary to accommodate the family.
2. The location of the septic system being installed.  we are experts at placing the system not only where it will be accessible for convenient servicing, but also in an area that will not get too much weight or water on the system and damage it. We are more than happy to give advice about landscaping options that will be safe for your septic system.
3. Drain lines. There must be a proper degree of decline from the house, so all discharge flows easily to the septic system. Proper planning of all drain lines in the home, especially where they join together, is critical.

Action Septic Tank Service handles every aspect of septic system installation.Give us a call for an estimate and to discuss the type of system that will best serve your family’s needs.

Sometimes, septic tanks are found in unusual places, making the task of locating and servicing them more challenging. Septic tanks can be buried underneath driveways, decks, porches, home additions and even sidewalks.

Ideally, your septic system should
be placed in an open area that’s easily accessible. Keep trees and shrubs away. Grass is the best possible cover. Be sure to avoid building of any kind on top.

If your Georgia home or business uses a septic tank, having a decent understanding of the function of the system is paramount in keeping it in good working order. Many people are not very aware of the process required to make it run correctly and they wait until the last moment to service their septic system and suddenly they end up with toilets that start backing up onto the floor.

The problem we face today is that we are so busy that we often have no time for regular home maintenance, or we simply forget to do it. There are at least two important factors that keep s septic tank system running correctly. Its important that the bacterial action in the tank be sufficient to break solid matter down on a daily basis. Secondly, since there will gradually be a build-up of sludge in the bottom of the tank it is important not to let this build up to the point that the system fails. When a tank becomes overly filled with sludge or the bacterial action is no longer able to keep up with the requirement to break down solid matter, the sludge and solid matter will start draining into the drainage system of the tank.

This can potentially ruin your drain field – which can be expensive. It will at least plug the pipes leading to the drain field and your drains will start to back up into the house when you flush the toilet, or use your shower or bathtub. There is no place for the waste water to go, so it backs up into the toilet or shower and bath drains. Calling Action Septic Tank Service is the solution you’re looking for. We suggest you do this as a preventive measure, but if you find yourself in an emergency situation we’re there for you! Septic cleaning will give your tank a rest. Waste water and solid matter will gradually fill the tank again, and the bacterial action will have a fresh start and will function properly. Unless your drain field has been damaged, or the drain pipes leading to the drainage field have been plugged, your tank should operate correctly once again.

Where is your septic tank? Yes, often times they are in your backyard, but where? Call your local Health Department to find out! There, you can get a drawing that shows its location. Keep this drawing on file for future use, too. It’ll save you lots of time!

Wet weather can cause problems for your septic system. Water will saturate the ground which affects the drain field. The septic system may not absorb the water fast enough. This creates problems in your toilets, bath tubs, washing machine and the rest of the plumbing in your home. Keep your septic system properly maintained. Limit your water usage during periods of wet weather. Run your down spouts away from the drain field area. This helps control the amount of water pouring onto the drain field. Check that your plumbing is running as it should and that you don’t hear any bubbling noises or smell any odors. We highly recommend servicing your septic system every 2-3 years.
