Get matched with top septic tank pros in Pomeroy, OH

Q: Does rainwater go into my well?

• <div><p>Rainwater doesn't have a direct impact on the amount of water in your well. Instead, the majority of rain runs off into other bodies of water such as streams, rivers, and lakes. These bodies of water may sometimes function as the area&rsquo;s reservoir and create aquifers, which then help to replenish your well.</p></div>

Q: What is the best time of year to pump or empty a septic tank?

• <div><p>The best times of year to empty or pump a septic tank are spring and fall. Many professionals recommend spring because the ground has thawed, making the tank easier to access and the waste less likely to be frozen. Pumping before summer also helps avoid conflicts with vacations or outdoor gatherings. Fall is another great option, as contractors may be less busy, and servicing the tank can reduce the risk of overflow from winter and spring precipitation. While summer is also a suitable time, winter is generally not recommended due to frozen ground.</p></div>

Q: Why do mound systems fail?

• <div><p>Mound systems can fail if foreign objects are flushed into the septic tank, the septic tank is backed up with solid waste (sludge), if wastewater floods or seeps from the mound, or if any part of the system is clogged. To prevent this, only flush toilet paper and your normal &ldquo;business&rdquo; down toilets, and get a septic inspection at least yearly.</p></div>

Q: What types of well pumps are available?

• <div><p>Options include submersible, jet, and centrifugal pumps. Choose based on water needs and well depth.</p></div>

Q: Will my garbage disposal impact my septic tank?

• <div><p>Your garbage disposal will only affect the health of your septic tank if you&rsquo;re using it too frequently, or filling it with organic waste that doesn&rsquo;t fully break down. If the tank fills up with too many solids, the bacteria won&rsquo;t have enough time to consume it before more is added, which can lead to an overflow in the drain field. Your tank will need to be pumped more frequently with excessive or improper garbage disposal use. </p></div>
