septic tanks - cleaning

A septic tank is an underground tank that holds the wastewater that leaves your home, and they’re needed in areas without municipal sewers. The solids, oil and grease are filtered out, and the water is drained out of the tank. This leaves sludge and scum in the septic tank, which must be cleaned out every few years, depending on how many people are using it. An overflowing septic tank is very bad for the environment, so it’s important to get it cleaned out regularly.
