In case you are looking for ways and means to manage the household waste the first thing that you need to take notice of is the septic tank at your yard. The construction of the Concrete Septic Tank is only not enough to manage the regular wastes but it is also essential to keep the tank in check and keep it well maintained, so that it does not overflow and lead to the issues for waste management. For the installation and maintenance of your septic tank always rely on the experts for cleaning and pumping out of the waste materials collected in the tank.
It is necessary that the collected sludge and scum in the tank is pumped out periodically to prevent the over flowing of the tank and also maintain a healthy ratio of microbes in the tank for the proper degeneration of the waste materials into fertilizers and composite. The standard level of scum is considered around six inches of the outlet pipe and the sludge layer should be twelve inches. As these levels cross, it is necessary to pump out the waste to prevent your tank from over flowing and creating an utter mess.
For the proper understanding of how much the levels have reached it is necessary to get the tank checked periodically by the expert plumbers and cleaners from time to time. It helps by having your concrete septic tank inspected at least once a year as the scum and sludge layers can over reach the standard limit and cause trouble. It is also important to check the pipelines for any leakage or blockage, the condition of the drain field as well as the functioning of the septic tank in draining out the effluent from the pipelines properly.
The Concrete Septic Tank needs to be cleaned at an interval of around one to three year on an average but highly depends on its size and the amount of everyday household waste going in it. The period can be prolonged by adding catalysts and chemicals in the tank that hasten the breaking down of the waste by the microbes and help in the management of the waste for a longer time. But make sure to use only organic materials that do not harm the eco system and have no harmful long terms effects on the healthy microbes as well as the soil.
