Septic Pumping in Hawthorne, CA

If you are among the twenty percent of homeowners whose building is NOT connected to a public sewer system, then your house likely depends on a septic system for waste and wastewater treatment. Though this means you don’t have to pay monthly sewer bills, the responsibility of maintaining the septic system rests on your shoulders. Septic pumping and septic tank cleaning are among the most important maintenance tasks, but you don’t have to get your hands dirty. Call Rooter Man Plumbing to leave the septic service to uniformed and trained professionals from a reputable septic company. Our courteous representatives are on standby to schedule a flexible appointment or arrange an urgent septic tank pumping in Hawthorne, CA today.

About the Septic Tank

Understanding the septic tank is crucial in knowing when it is not working properly, and the risks associated with a dysfunctional or faulty septic system. We won’t get into the nitty gritty details, but here’s a quick summary: A septic tank is an underground container, usually made of concrete, fiberglass, or plastic, that collects and treats sewage and wastewater from homes and businesses. The average septic tanks are large enough to hold between 500 to 2,000 gallons, though there are larger ones available. As waste and wastewater enters the septic tank, they separate into three layers: a bottom layer of solid waste, a middle layer of liquid effluent, and a top layer of scum. Helpful bacteria breaks down the organic material into dense, space-saving sludge. The treated wastewater then flows into a drain field, where it is filtered through the soil before entering the groundwater. The solid waste and sludge, meanwhile, remain in the septic tank. Eventually, this waste must be removed, or pumped, out.

What Can Go Wrong?

The septic tank is found a few feet underground, meaning an off-the-cuff septic inspection is not practical. Still, periodic inspections are crucial because there is a lot that can go wrong with your septic tank.

Septic Pumping in Hawthorne, CA

For instance, although the septic tank breaks down solid waste into sludge and readily disposes of wastewater, the tank WILL eventually fill to the brim if you don’t interfere. Arguably the most important septic system maintenance item is septic pumping. This service involves using a specialized truck to pump out the excess waste. Our septic cleaning in Hawthorne is another septic service and is a more comprehensive form of clearing out the tank.

Other things that can go wrong with your septic tank include:

  • Tree roots penetrating through the tank and other components.
  • Too much water/wastewater at once.
  • Clogs or blockages in the inlet or outlet pipes.
  • Excessive weight or pressure, often cause by driving or parking vehicles over the septic tank.

If you notice slow drainage or backups in multiple sinks, drains, and toilets, signs of a sewage leak, or any problem with your septic system, then call Rooter Man as soon as possible to arrange quick and affordable septic service. We are also here if you need emergency septic pumping in Hawthorne.
