Full-Service Septic Contractor
When it comes down to needing your wastewater managed, it's best to do it with a licensed septic contractor. Licensed Plumbers are allowed to service and install septic systems, but you're not protected as you think. Licensed Plumbers are regulated by the Department of Business and Professional Regulation, whereas the Florida Department of Health regulates your septic systems. Licensed Septic Contractors are licensed through the Florida Department of Health, the same department that your septic system is permitted through. What does this mean? It means if you have a complaint or an issue with your septic system and your hired Plumber, the Department of Health cannot file a complaint against the contractor's license.
The Real Low Down on Your Septic System
If you can think of everything that goes down the toilet, sinks and shower drains, then you can imagine that it has to go someplace. For some, it's city sewer (still have to watch what you flush), but for you, it's likely a septic system.
Septic systems date back to the 1860s, granted a lot has changed since then.
Back to the basics, anything that goes through the washing machine, down the toilet or washed down the drain eventually makes its way to the septic tank. Inside the septic tank is where the magic happens, so to speak. The waste starts to break down and settles to the bottom of the tank, and we call this the sludge. Then all the toilet paper, body oils, food substances, hair, etc. make up the scum layer on top. The middle layer of liquid is the effluent water that is eventually going to be dispersed throughout the drain field and absorbed into the ground through the soils.
Knowing what goes down your drains is important. Septic systems have a science that allows them to work naturally. But, when you do unnatural things, you get unnatural results. For example, the usage of a garbage disposal on a septic system allows for food particles and fats and oils to kill off the good bacteria needed in your tank. This leads to a thicker scum layer and more frequent pumping, maybe even line blockages with sewage backups.
Septic tanks should be maintained and serviced like everything else in life. You can't install it and forget about it (well, you could, but don't). Let's think of pumping your tank like changing the oil in your car. You see no issues, and you do it so many miles to prolong the life of your engine. The same goes for pumping your septic tank. Pump it to prevent damage to your drain field.
