Septic System Inspection Services Offered By Washington Septic Tank Pumping Company Protects Buyers

By Rae Patricio


When buying or selling a home, several different entities may ask for an inspection of the various mechanical systems of a home. One system that requires this type of inspection is the on-site sewage disposal. In addition to the inspection that takes place during the closing of a sale, these units should be checked regularly and pumped as needed. In most cases, a Washington septic tank pumping company provides the inspection.

The waste flushed into these tanks includes solids and water. Bacterial action works to break the solids down over time. However, some materials do not break down and form a scum layer that floats on top of the water and a sludge layer that sinks to the bottom. Unless these materials are removed regularly, they eventually work their way into the drain field and cause the system to fail.

Modern tanks include two chambers. The first collects most solid materials with the second providing additional protection for the field. Solids passing to the second chamber are also undergo bacterial digestion.

Baffles help to prevent passage of solids into one's leach lines. They can degrade or be displaced over time, so they no longer provide the needed protection. Solid buildup can also allow the material to cause problems with the drain field.

Homeowners who do not inspect their system on a regular basis make a big mistake. Waiting until a problem develops in flushing one's toilets is a mistake. While the plug in the main line can be removed, the damage that is done in the drain field is much more difficult to reverse.

A Washington septic tank pumping service provides valuable help in keeping these systems working correctly. They are designed for many years of service if proper care is provided. Neglecting the system endangers the health of community residents. Failed systems lead to costly repairs of leach lines and devalue one's investment in real estate.
