What causes a buzz from a septic tank?

It is probably full. Most septic tanks have buzzers to warn the user when they need to be cleaned out.


How do you maintain your septic tank?

Septic tanks require very little maintenance. You can dose your septic tank with a bacteria treatment once a month with Rid-X or a similar brand, but this is not vital. If you do use a bacteria treatment, you will only need to have your septic tank pumped out every five years, instead of every one or two years. You should not flush things like tampons or sanitary wipes, and you should only use biodegradable toilet paper, because the bacteria cannot break these things down and this will also cause the septic tank to get full faster. The only other things to remember are to keep the area above your septic tank and its drain field grassy. Do not allow plants with large root systems to grow there, or your septic system will be damaged. Do not position anything heavy over the septic system either - septic tanks have been completely broken due to people parking their cars over them.


Why shouldn't large amounts of strong disinfectant be flushed into a septic tank system?

because a septic tank relies on bacteria to break down the waste and disinfectant kill bacteria. this is why when we empty a septic tank it is paramount that we leave a bit in the bottom to keep the process working. Mr S Zulaica M.D FULL FLOW RESTORED

The best way to tell when your septic tank needs to be drained is when it overflows and leaks into the surrounding area. Once it overflows too much then the surrounding area will be leaking and overflow.

What is the purpose of the Septic tank vent?

Any empty tank is really a tank full of air. If you want water to go into a tank or pipe or drain then you have to allow the air to escape out of it. We allow the air to escape through a "vent pipe," connected to the tank. When refering to septic tanks, this pipe is called a "septic tank vent." Unless we use a zeocarbon filter on the "septic tank vent", the vile air coming out smells like a combination of rotten eggs and ammonia. Some septic tanks are upgraded to include aeration systems where electric or solar powered aerators bubble air into the liquid in the septic tank. Although these systems treat water faster and produce cleaner treated wastewater you still need a "septic tank vent," to let the air escape from the tank so water can go into it.

You have a main line blockage and or a full septic tank if you have a septic system. You need to have either your sewer line roto rootered and or your septic tank pumped if on a septic system.
