The goal of septic system management is to ensure long life for your system and to safeguard public health and the environment. Regular maintenance protects your investment by maximizing system life. Amberjack Sanitation offers customized maintenance service and onsite inspections that assure optimal waste treatment.

All conventional septic systems have a finite life. Even properly used, drainfields become plugged with the by-products of treating sewage. Misuse can accelerate failure:

• Accumulation of solids in tanks not removed regularly can clog drain field soils
• Excess water use or leaky fixtures can cause overloading
• Use of medications and certain household products can inhibit proper function
• Inappropriate activities on the soil treatment area can cause compaction

All of these situations which shorten the useful life of a system can be detected through regularly scheduled maintenance and a plan can be implemented to correct them. Identified early, most problems can be corrected at little cost. Regular maintenance will save you money over the long run.

·  SEPTIC REPAIRS

A septic tank is typically installed for a business or residential area because there is not access to a public sewer system. A Septic Tank is a large tank that is installed underground to hold all waste that is delivered to it. Theses tanks come in various sizes. Typically the city or county has specifications as to what is required for the size of the domain and the number of bathrooms in the facility. Your county/city permitting will have details, requirements and specifications.

If your septic tank system is pumped on a regular basis you should be fine in terms of maintenance. DO NOT dump or flush bacteria killing chemicals into your septic system such as acid or paint thinner!

UNDERSTANDING YOUR SEPTIC SYSTEM

Besides pumping your system when needed there are other actions to take to also help take care of your septic tank. DO NOT flush foreign objects as tampons, paper towel, maxi pads down your toilet. REMEMBER if it won’t dissolve in water it will eventually need to be pumped out. Also DO NOT allow GREASE down your drains. Even in small amount this can be a problem in the future. And when designing your landscaping know where your septic system is try to avoid planting trees near your septic system and leach field/pits. Tree roots are a very common cause for damaged pipes.
