How a Septic System Works – Bethesda NC

Wastewater enters the septic system through a chamber and moves to the septic tank.  Using the power of gravity, solid sludge settles easily to the bottom, forcing the scum to float to the top.   The movement of the liquid carries the scum to another chamber, where more solid waste is forced to the bottom. Lastly, the excess liquid moves out into a drain field. The waste left in the tank is anaerobically decomposed.  When working correctly, the entire process is very efficient.  On average, a Bethesda septic system should be pumped every three to five years.

Signs and Symptoms Your Septic System Needs Service

Septic systems are mostly not visible; thus, problems can be difficult to notice. However, there are some easily noticeable signs to keep an eye out for that may indicate your Bethesda septic system is malfunctioning.

  • Pooling Water – When water starts to pool on your lawn or field without an obvious explanation, is may be because your septic tank is too full. A professional can pump your tank to fix it.
  • Foul Odors – A full septic tank will cause the sludge to rise, emitting foul odors around the household or property.
  • Lawn Health – Not all waste is created equally. Unlike fertilizer, septic waste can kill your grass. Look for brown and yellow patches in your lawn.
  • Toilet Draining Slow – If your septic tank becomes too full, it can interfere with the way your toilet functions. Pay attention to how quickly your toilet drains after a flush.
