For Residents of Walton County, Septic Pumping Requires Know-How
Every region has different soils and water tables. In Walton County, septic pumping is big business and that opens the door to less than reputable individuals. If you are a homeowner with a septic system, you want to make sure that the people providing you with this essential service know what they are doing and have plenty of experience.
Weeding out the Amateurs –
How can you tell if a company has the knowledge required to do a good job? Ask around. Talk to neighbors who have lived in the area for a while. Contact the township and ask if they can recommend a septic company or if they have had problems with any particular business.
When you call companies and request for them to give you an estimate, ask how long they have been in business. Also, find out how long they have been operating in Walton County. Remember, conditions differ greatly depending on where you are located. You want a company that has been in business in your area for at least five years.
The Process of Pumping –
While pumping technically relates just to the act of dropping the vacuum hose in the tank and sucking out the waste, the process should be more involved if done right. These are the basic steps:
1. Inspection of the system and area. Your septic professional should inspect the field, the tank and the surrounding area for any easily visible problems.
2. The tank is opened. This operation requires some experience since methane will escape upon opening the tank. The lid is removed and set aside safely and the area should be blocked off to avoid anyone else falling in.
3. A quick visual inspection of the tank and levels.
4. The material inside the tank is stirred. This mixes the solids at the bottom of the tank with the liquids that are on top. The goal is to get the solids into suspension so they come out easily and completely.
5. The tank is pumped. While continuing to agitate the contents, a hose is placed within the tank to remove all materials.
6. A better inspection is conducted of the system. The tank walls, the baffles, the intake and outlet should all be inspected at this time to ensure that there are no cracks or blockages.
7. The system is closed up. At this point the system can be resealed and a written report of what was found should be provided. A recommendation as to when you should have the system pumped again should be included.
Avoiding Unneeded Expenses –
Don’t wait until you have problems to pump out your system or have it inspected. Schedule regular pumping and be careful of what you put into your system. Finally, try to avoid using anti-bacterial products around your house, as bacteria are what make that septic system work successfully.
