Busy Bee Septic and Excavating LLC Explains Septic Tank Pumping

Busy Bee Septic and Excavating LLC is a clever, timeless engineering design. It allows waste to flow in one direction and bacterial action neutralizes pathogens before they can reach groundwater supplies. However, the septic tank must be pumped to remove the sludge that builds up over time. If not, the septic system can be overwhelmed and the sludge will clog and leak. Regular pumping and cleaning preserves the lifespan of a septic system and prevents odors, clogs, and costly repairs.

A professional septic tank company will remove the waste from the septic tank with a truck equipped with a large vacuum hose. Once the tank is emptied, the company will take it to a treatment plant for proper disposal.

Before the crew arrives, make sure your yard is free of debris. Any yard debris that reaches the access lid can cause catastrophic damage to the tank components.

The Importance of Regular Septic Tank Pumping with Busy Bee Septic and Excavating LLC

The crew will also take the opportunity to inspect the tank and septic system. During this process, the tank cover will be removed. If you notice any problems with your septic system between pumping sessions, you should notify the pumping company.

It is recommended that you purchase a septic tank level monitoring device. The device will provide you with a reading of the amount of sludge in the tank. The septic tank should be pumped when the sludge reaches 6 inches or more in thickness. The bacteria in the septic tank breaks down most of the solids over time, but the heaviest waste will always sink and form sludge. The lightest waste, such as fats and oils, float to the top of the tank. This is called scum.
