Providing the Septic Tank and System Performance for Your Clayton Septic System

It pays to understand why you should regularly have your Clayton home’s septic tank cleaned.  Solids accumulate in the septic tank and must be removed.

As solids collect in the tank, the layer of water reduces slowly.  If working as designed, the outlet baffles will keep the majority of solids from reaching the drainage area, however, it is impossible to achieve 100% filtering.  The steady increase in solids raises the possibility of solids successfully reaching the drain field.  Solids clog up drainage pipe holes, the spaces between stones, and the surrounding soil, restricting water disbursement.  Eventually, water will stop soaking into the ground as designed resulting in drain field failure and the associated problems.

Scheduled maintenance and cleaning of the septic tank, in your Clayton home or office, effectively removes solids, which extends its life and keeps it in working order.

Do not neglect your septic tank.  Regular septic tank maintenance is highly recommended to maintain ideal operation and longevity.  Health and safety hazards are possible when your tank and septic system develops a problem, which can endanger you and your family.  Below we have provided some simple actions you can take to safeguard your Clayton septic tank and make sure it is working correctly.

  • Do not overload your septic tank. Check for leaks frequently and replace existing plumbing fixtures and appliances with water-efficient models.
  • Never flush huge and non-biodegradable matters down the toilet.
  • Choose high-quality garbage disposal and use it properly to avoid clogging.
  • Do not pour oil and grease down the drain. Grease buildup can clog your pipes and cause serious problems to your septic system.
  • Plant trees more than 100 feet away from the septic system and always make sure that no tree roots are making their way to your pipes and tank.
