A septic system works to take all the waste people put in and break it down until clean, pure water flows out into the ground in an area called the leach field. The purity of the water that leaves the system (the effluent) is important because it becomes part of the environment, ultimately affecting plants, animals and humans.
A typical septic system works with the pipes that lead from the home, the septic tank, and the leach field. Fluids flow from the house to the septic tank where naturally occurring bacteria consume the human waste with end products being water, gases and solids. The solid material that the bacteria cannot digest is also known as sludge.
A normal septic system can work properly for many years, needing only occasional pumping to remove the buildup of solids on the bottom of the septic tank. However, every area of the septic system can become problematic if conditions are right.
The two critical factors impacting how well septic systems work are whether or not there is a healthy septic bacteria population and how good the septic flow is. Whatever affects these factors affects overall performance of the system and can result in disturbing problems.
Septic systems work best with Septikos® for Septic Treatment and Maintenance.
