Alpharetta, GA Septic Repair: Tree Root Intrusion

septic tank service alpheretta

In Alpharetta, GA, Action Septic Tank Service repaired this septic line that was completely blocked by tree roots. Take a look at the before-and-after photos.

Roots from trees and shrubs seek moisture found inside your pipes. They enter through cracks and joints in pipes and spread. This causes sewage backups into the home and blockages inside the septic tank. These blockages can eventually destroy an entire septic (or sewer) system.

Some ways to prevent tree root intrusion include:

1. Avoid planting fast-growing trees in your yard.

2. Keep trees from being planted near your septic system.

3. Have your septic system inspected annually and your septic tank pumped every 2-3 years.

4. Check your pipes. Older septic and sewer pipes made of concrete or clay are most likely to attract tree roots.

5. Be aware of the signs of leaking pipes, such as patches of greener grass, damp ground and odors.

Milton, GA On-Site Septic Installation

Choosing the most effective septic design and installation plan is always recommended to ensure your septic system gives you years of optimal performance. Action Septic Tank Service suggests some of the following tips.

When installing a septic system on land that is undeveloped, you must first have the soil checked. If the soil is suitable for a septic system, you should be able to obtain a septic permit for installation.

Next, it’s necessary to think about how your septic system will be used. Will it be used on a daily basis or only on weekends or holidays? How much water is being used on the site? If water use is heavier, consider having a larger drainfield.

When installing a septic system, the design is very important. Systems that are improperly installed are unsafe and unsanitary. There are very specific regulations and guidelines that should be followed when planning the layout.

When correctly installed and maintained, septic systems can work very well and last for a long time. Action Septic Tank Service recommends having your septic system inspected annually and servicing your septic tank every two years.

Hydro-Jetting for Septic and Sewer Lines

Hydro-jetting is used to clean residential, commercial, and industrial septic lines, sewer lines, and drains. Extreme water pressure is used to clear out fats, oils and grease (FOG), sand, roots, and sediment that builds up. Hydro-jetting will effectively scour your pipes.

Hydro-jetting offers a cost effective and environmentally friendly way to minimize the number of septic, sewer, and drain blockages and back-ups. This will help to keep your septic lines, sewer lines, and drains clear and properly maintained.

Effluent Filters and Septic Systems

septic dec 2014

Action Septic Tank Service wants to share with you reasons why having a clogged effluent filter is actually a good thing. Effluent filters prevent solids in the septic tank from exiting into the drainfield. Homeowners should know that it is much easier to service an effluent filter than to restore or replace a whole soil absorption system. Drainfields basically fail due to solid material passing through the outlet of the septic tank. This clogs the soil and prevents the water from filtering down. Effluent filters allow the water to pass through the septic tank into the soil absorption area while catching the solids. This keeps the drainfield from clogging and eventually failing. Effluent filters require little maintenance, are cost effective, and can be installed into existing septic tanks. For more information and service, call Action Septic Tank Service at 770-922-1434.

Matt has installed hundreds of new septic systems, performed many many residential septic service repairs, and finished as many commercial septic service jobs inthe Atlanta Metro area.

 

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. CallingAction Septic Tank Serviceis 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.

Roswell, GA On-Site Septic Baffle Installation

action septic septic tank cleaning atlanta

In Roswell, GA, Action Septic Tank Service installed an inlet baffle inside a homeowner’s septic tank. Having no inlet baffle in the existing tank caused a problematic septic backup.

A septic tank has an inlet baffle and an outlet baffle. The inlet baffle directs flow from the house sewer down into the septic tank to create a longer detention time for the sewage to allow the settling of solids. It also keeps the scum level from plugging the inlet pipe.

There are two types of baffles: wall baffles and sanitary tees. Action Septic Tank Service strongly recommends using sanitary tees, made of PVC piping. They are less likely to have plugging problems and will not deteriorate.

Baffles must be properly connected. They should be attached so they remain in place over the lifetime of the tank and should be accessible for septic inspections, repairs and replacement.
