What Is A Septic System?
According to the Environmental Protection Agency, over 20 percent of households in the United States depend on an onsite wastewater treatment system installation. This is exactly what a septic system is. Septic systems are installed on the property and treat wastewater from household plumbing appliances and fixtures. They are also called private sewage systems, onsite wastewater treatment systems, and cluster systems.
How Does A Septic System Work?
As waste and wastewater leaves your building, they enter the septic tank through inlet pipes. They then form three layers in the septic tank: a top layer of scum, a middle layer of wastewater, and a bottom layer of solid waste. Also in the septic tank are good bacteria and crucial chemicals that break down solid waste into sludge. While the solid waste is broken down, the liquid effluent, or wastewater, is discharged through perforated pipes. The wastewater percolates through the soil in an area called the drain field.
