After the septic tank, effluent water is discharged into the drainfield for further treatment by bacteria in the soil and filtering from the soil itself. The water moves along into the drainfield every time more sewage enters the tank. The effluent water is moved by gravity or by a pump depending on the design. If the drainfield receives too much water it will flood, causing sewage to pool on the ground surface or backup into the house plumbing fixtures. Overloading also prevents proper treatment of all the wastewater.

Keeping your septic tank cleaned is an important responsibility.
If your septic system does become too full and starts to overflow, it can become dangerous to the health of you and your family and even you community. If your home uses well water, the sewage can seep into your family's drinking water, causing severe sickness. Even if you don't have a well, you shouldn't let your septic tank overflow. The sewage could seep into groundwater or other surface water sources, such as a lake. If the sewage reaches these bodies of water, this can actually affect the health of your entire community, especially if the community relies on the water for drinking or fun. Keeping your septic tank cleaned is an important responsibility. Not only will it prevent problems, such as odours and backups, but it will allow you to keep drinking and groundwater safe. Don't wait until something goes wrong with your septic tank before you get it cleaned. Just because you aren't having septic system issues now, doesn't mean your septic tank doesn’t need to be cleaned and maintained. Cleaning your septic tank should be done on a regular basis to prevent septic system failure and overflows.
One of the biggest reasons to routinely clean and maintain your septic tank is to prevent it from overflowing. When the system gets too full, the tank can no longer hold the contents, but they have to go somewhere, so they seep out into your yard.
There are several problems that occur when the septic tank overflows into your yard. For starters, you'll probably notice a foul smell above the septic tank and around the drain field. If enough liquid has escaped, you may also notice pooling water on your yard above the tank. The grass around the septic tank may also be lush and green, while the rest of your grass is dull. Inside your house, you may notice sewage backup and slow drains. It’s important to acquire support from a licensed septic technician to insure that your septic system if functioning correctly.

Your system is not designed to be a garbage can and solids build up in the septic tank that will eventually need to be pumped. The more solids that go into the tank, the more frequently the tank will need to be pumped. This also means the higher the risk for problems to arise.
We can perform standard pumping maintenance when no one is home, particularly if your tank is dug up or we have been to your home before. If we do not know where your tank is located, we may need to get inside to see the plumbing to help us locate the septic tank. If you are experiencing a backup situation in your toilets or other drains, someone should be home so that we can have you flush the toilets after we are done to make sure that everything is flowing properly.
