Anyone that owns a mobile home or other similar structure is aware that the plumbing system is usually a septic system. In fact, septic systems are part of the plumbing make up of most homes and structures in rural areas. The septic system receives the unwanted wastewater and the solids from the plumbing system of the structure. The solids become sludge and are separated from the water, which goes back into the groundwater. The other stuff must be pumped out of the septic system from time to time. A company that provides Septic System Inspection Service explains what happens when your system is serviced.
Septic systems should be inspected at least once annually. At those times, the septic tank may need to be pumped. However, what determines when a septic tank needs to be pumped is the amount of sludge present in the tank during the inspection. This is done with the use of a device called a “sludge judge.” If the sludge is found to be more than 33 percent of the septic tank level, it is time to have the septic tank pumped.
Another indication of the need to pump the tank is if the sludge has risen to the level of the baffles. During the inspection, the contractor will check to ensure the tank is actually large enough to service the building’s size. A typical four bedroom home will probably require a 1,200 gallon tank; but the more occupants in the home, the greater the size. The inspector will also check for liquid waste that has risen to the ground area, and ensure that the tank is tightly sealed so that there can be no mixture of the wastewater and the groundwater.
