Septic tanks are a reliable and cost-effective way to store and treat wastewater from your home. First, however, all homeowners must understand the basics of septic tank inspection and mainline cleaning.
Septic Tank Inspection
A septic tank inspection keeps your septic system in good condition. A professional plumber will inspect the inner workings of your septic tank and related pipes, fittings, pumps, and valves. This process allows the plumber to identify potential problems and ensure all components function correctly.
Mainline Cleaning
Mainline cleaning is another essential part of maintaining your septic system. This involves removing any buildup clogging up the main line that connects your home’s plumbing system with the septic tank. This buildup can come from grease, soap scum, hair, toilet paper, and other debris that find their way into the plumbing system over time. Mainline cleaning is necessary to ensure that wastewater can move freely between your home and the septic tank without obstruction.
Septic tanks are a reliable and efficient way of treating household wastewater but require regular maintenance, just like any other equipment. Therefore, septic tank inspections and mainline cleaning are two critical services you should consider to keep your system running smoothly for years. If you have questions about how often you should get these services performed on your home’s plumbing system or what type of maintenance may be necessary for other septic system components, contact our professional plumbers for advice today!
