Septic Tanks | South FL PlumberBelieve it or not, well-designed and maintained septic systems are actually good for the environment. Because the waste water is treated on site, it is released back into the environment immediately, rather than going to a centralized water treatment plant. In addition, depending on the location, a septic system requires fewer materials to produce than miles of new municipal sewer lines. A septic system consists of three basic components: a septic tank, a grease trap, and a septic field, also called a leach field or drain field. Each component does a different part of the job of removing and treating waste. First, the grease trap collects the grease and oil that can clog the system. Second, the septic tank itself stores and separates the various solid materials in the waste water. There, naturally occurring bacteria help break down the solid organic waste. The water then flows out to a distribution pipe in the drain field, where the water is naturally filtered through gravel and soil as it returns directly to the water table.

Common Materials That Cause Major Damage to the Tanks

There are a number of routine maintenance issues which occur in a septic system. First, the grease trap and septic tank need to be periodically emptied. Secondly, there are certain materials which should never be flushed or drained into a septic system:
  • Warm grease or fats
  • Hair and nail clippings, dental floss, and paper towels
  • Solid food waste through garbage disposal
  • Tampons, cigarette butts, condoms, and kitty litter
Warm grease or fats can solidify in the pipes, preventing  waste water from reaching the septic tank and causing backed up pipes. Hair and nail clippings, dental floss, and paper towels may seem biodegradable, but can lead to clogged pipes and backed up drains. Solid food waste through a garbage disposal can cause increased buildup of solids in the septic tank, requiring more frequent emptying of the tank. Composting, either through a municipal service or for your own gardening needs is a much more economical and environmentally friendly solution. Tampons, cigarette butts, condoms, and kitty litter are not biodegradable and will either cause clogs or a layer of permanent sediment in the septic tank which will cause it to back up into the house over time. The ultimate consequences of failing to maintain a septic system are pretty drastic and include the following:
  • Raw sewage backing up into your home.
  • Property damage and expensive cleanup costs.
  • Sewage overflow into yards, driveways, and public spaces.
  • Possible exposure to disease-causing bacteria.
  • Physical damage to the septic system itself.
