Septic Services From Phillips Plumbing
A septic system is a crucial piece of the wastewater treatment puzzle for many homeowners in New York who aren’t connected to municipal sewer systems. These systems direct waste away from the house and sanitize it before the water is released into groundwater or other water sources, which helps keep germs and pollutants out of drinking water and away from plants, animals, and people.
A Phillips Plumbing, Wells, & Septic has two key components – a septic tank and a drainfield. The septic tank is a large, watertight container that receives wastewater from the home. Heavy solid particles sink to the bottom of the tank and light materials float to the surface, where bacteria feed on them and partially break them down. The resulting liquids, known as effluent, are discharged into the drainfield, which is a series of pipes or chambers covered in gravel or sand. The soil in the drainfield acts as a natural filter, further cleaning the effluent before it is released into the environment.

The best way to prevent problems with a septic system is to have it inspected and pumped on a regular basis. The frequency of these services depends on the size of the septic tank and how much wastewater is used by the household.
In addition, using water efficiently, fixing leaky fixtures, and not flushing non-biodegradable or harmful items helps to reduce the load on a septic system. A septic tank that is too small or too overloaded with wastewater can overflow and cause severe health problems, including sepsis.
