Delaware Valley Septic, Sewer & Storm is the premier source for septic system pumping and drain cleaning in Chester County and other septic services in Southeastern Pennsylvania.
Septic system tanks, on average, need pumping about once every one to three years. Factors like water usage, whether or not you have a garbage disposal, and the number of people in your family can shorten or lengthen this time span. Here some common issues that you can experience with your septic system.
Drain Damage
Anything that is not water, toilet paper or human waste can cause extensive damage to your drains and the components in your septic tank. Everything from paper towels or rags to coffee grounds, grease, and eggshells can and frequently do clog drains. Over time, they may decrease the lifespan of your system dramatically.
Bacteria Build-up
Bacteria is an integral part of the septic tank system, helping to break down solids into gas and sludge. The fewer solids build up in your system, the better. Unfortunately, many common drain cleaners, while helpful in the short term, can cause long-term damage by destroying important bacteria that would have helped to eliminate solids in the septic tank.
