Understanding Septic Systems

Septic systems are essential components of many homes and businesses, quietly working behind the scenes to treat and process wastewater. These systems typically consist of two main parts: the septic tank and the drain field.

The septic tank is a watertight underground container that collects all wastewater from your home. As wastewater flows into the tank, solids sink to the bottom (sludge), oils float to the top (scum), and the liquid between these layers (effluent) is gradually released into the drainfield.

The drainfield, also known as the leach field, is a system of perforated pipes buried underground in a gravel bed. Wastewater from the septic tank flows into these pipes, where it slowly percolates through the soil, allowing beneficial bacteria to further treat and purify the water before it returns to the surrounding environment.

The Importance of Regular Inspections

Just like any complex system, septic systems require regular maintenance and attention. A comprehensive septic system inspection by Northwest Septic Service, Inc. is crucial for identifying potential issues before they escalate into costly repairs or environmental hazards.

Our highly trained technicians will meticulously examine your entire system, from the septic tank to the drainfield, checking for leaks, cracks, corrosion, blockages, and other signs of wear and tear. We will also assess the quality of the effluent and the integrity of the drainfield, providing you with valuable insights into your system's overall health.

Based on our findings, we will provide you with a detailed, DEQ-approved report outlining any necessary repairs, maintenance recommendations, and suggestions for prolonging the lifespan of your septic system.
