It’s common for homes in rural and off-the-grid areas to have septic systems to help treat wastewater. These are effective and efficient systems but, like anything else, they need to be cared for and regularly cleaned. Septic services involve a wide range of tasks, such as cleaning the tanks, checking for leaks, and repairing or replacing pumps. Using professional septic service companies to handle these tasks can prevent sewage and other waste from backing up into your home, which could cause health problems.

Septic Tank Cleaning involves removing the sludge and scum from your septic system to keep it functioning properly. It’s important to have this done on a regular basis, so if you’re not sure how often your septic tank needs to be pumped, you should contact a local professional for an inspection.

Common Septic System Problems—and How Miller’s Can Help

During a septic tank cleaning, a technician removes these waste materials through a large hose and deposits them in an area away from the septic tank and drainfield. This reduces the risk of a clog or failure of your septic system and helps prevent the spread of harmful coliform bacteria, viruses, and nutrients into the environment.

Many septic tank problems can be avoided by following simple guidelines. Never flush cigarette butts, sanitary products, condoms, or paper towels down the toilet or drain. Also, don’t pour grease down the sink. Grease can clog the drainfield and the outlet filter of your septic tank. Lastly, don’t use septic tank additives, as these are unnecessary and can harm the septic system.
