Septic System
Septic Tank Cleaning In New Bern, North Carolina
Many people living in areas simply flush their toilets into the city sewer system and rarely have to worry about unpleasant problems like waddling in the leach field, sewage backups, or the necessity of maintaining and regularly pumping out their septic systems.
Those living in rural communities, however, need to keep up with proper maintenance of sewage systems. Usually a septic system drains into a leach field or pit of some kind and can last for years. However, if neglected for too long, a residential septic system's drainage can become clogged and back up sewage into the bathrooms of your home or into a business, bringing a halt to customer traffic. Overflow can lead to water damage, unpleasant odors and unhealthy conditions.
Household septic tanks usually hold around 1,000 gallons, but when the drain field fails, it can handle no more water and the tank fills. Drains will eventually back up with the overflow of sewage.
Neglect and severe blockages of your system can lead to costly excavations and replacement of the tank or other components, and it can even do damage to plumbing and drainpipes that lead to costly repairs.
Most of the time, a drain field fails because of improper materials or because it was improperly installed in the first place. In North Carolina, all new septic systems require inspection by the county health department. Septic tank pumping is needed regularly to keep your system functioning.
