Septic systems use the natural characteristics of soils to dispose, filter, and treat wastewater for homeowners who are not connected to a municipal sewer system. Wastewater flows from household drains to the septic tank, where it is separated into three distinct layers: the scum layer, made up of fats and oils that are less dense than water; the effluent layer of gray water that is discharged from the tank; and the sunken sludge layer that contains heavy solid waste that decomposes in the tank.

The septic tank is buried underground and typically constructed of concrete, fiberglass, or polyethylene. The septic system also includes the septic tank lid, an access port (usually in the basement), and a drain field or soil absorption field, which is a network of pipes with multiple drainage holes. The sewage percolates through the soil and is naturally removed of harmful coliform bacteria, viruses, nutrients, and other contaminants.

Avoiding System Failures: The Role of Routine Septic Service

Septic tank and sewer pipe servicers or cleaners usually have a high school diploma or equivalent and work on teams to clean and maintain septic tanks and other components of septic systems. They may also repair or replace septic tank parts and perform routine maintenance on drain lines. They often drive trucks to haul crews and equipment to work sites and communicate with supervisors, co-workers, and customers to clarify issues or gather information.

Typically, homeowners should have their septic tank pumped when the scum level is within six inches of the outlet pipe and the sludge level is within 12 inches of the bottom of the sunken sludge layer. If the septic tank is pumped too soon, sewage could back up into home toilets and drains or overflow into the yard. Regular septic tank cleaning can prevent these problems and keep septic tanks in good condition.
