Your septic tank can experience several different problems. They’re not terribly complicated systems, but they still have some issues. If you do not have your septic tank inspected from time to time, you’re more likely to have an emergency. A septic tank emergency could result in sewage backing up into your house, backing up into your yard, and overflowing of the septic tank itself. It could be incredibly expensive as well as time-consuming. The most reliable solution is to have your septic tank pumped regularly. At the time of the pumping, the experts will assess your need for septic tank repair.
Tank Pumping
Your septic tank will need to be pumped so that the oil and solid waste are removed before the solid waste clogs the drain pipe and the sewage begins to overflow. The rule of thumb is that each person produces about 100 gallons of waste per year. Therefore, if you have a 1,500 gallon septic tank and a four-person family, you’ll need to have that pumped once every four years. While that is happening, the experts will inspect your need for septic tank repair in Quakertown, PA.

Sewer Pipe Cleaning
The sewer pipes are exposed to a lot of waste running through them every day. Such waste can slowly build up on the walls of the pipes before they ever get into the septic tank. If your sewer pipes become clogged, you need septic tank repair before something bad happens.
Oftentimes, the sewer pipes can be cleaned fairly easily if you call a septic tank expert regularly. Hydro-jetting is an effective way to clean the pipes. If they become more damaged, more extensive repairs might be needed.
