If you have experienced backups, odd smells, and other problems with your waste system, you may need septic service in Burrton, KS. Maintaining your septic system is essential to the health and safety of your family.
A well-running septic system will remove most pollutants. When not properly maintained, your septic system will seep sewage into groundwater, spreading disease to animals, fish, and humans. Contaminants from poorly maintained systems can also contaminate nearby wells and cause illness among area residents.
Our team at Salina Septic Service provides a full range of services, including septic repair, tank cleaning, installation of new fields, and more.
"Needed to have septic tank emptied and everyone from the person on the phone to the guys that came out were personal and professional. Special shout outs to Sheldon and Jordan.! Highly recommend Salina Septic Service." -Carl H.
Septic systems have four main parts: a pipe leading from a building’s waste system, a septic tank, a drain field, and the surrounding soil. The last element provides the final treatment by naturally removing harmful bacteria and nutrients. You must have suitable soil for successful wastewater treatment.
All systems need regular septic maintenance. The component requiring the most maintenance is the septic tank. It holds wastewater long enough to allow solids to settle to the bottom to form sludge while oil and grease float to the surface. Partial decomposition of solids also occurs in the tank. The liquid between the two layers, called the effluent, is pushed into the drain field for final treatment. Compartments and a T-shaped outlet prevent solid waste from entering the drain field.
You should have us drain your septic tank every three to five years for an older traditional septic system. Newer systems with electrical float switches, pumps, or mechanical systems will benefit from a yearly inspection.
Factors influencing how frequently your septic tank needs draining are:
Household size
Amount of wastewater generated
Volume of tank solids
Septic tank size
Aging systems with decreased efficiency
Proximity to wells and water bodies
Common septic issues include backups, slow draining, gurgling sounds, a collapsed baffle, damaged pipes, blockages, and tank overflow. Excessively lush green grass over your drain field and algae blooms in nearby natural bodies of water also indicate system problems requiring septic repair. Our professionals will thoroughly inspect all system components to determine the appropriate septic repair.
Most septic systems can last 20 to 40 years with proper care. However, age will eventually take its toll, requiring a septic install service. Replacing your system may be more cost-effective than frequent repairs. When the time comes, working with professionals who can assess your property’s needs and ensure compliance with local regulations is essential.
