Haymarket VA Septic Tank Cleaning
Residential Haymarket VA septic tank cleaning is required by the EPA at least every one to three years. If the septic system is located within the CBPA or the Chesapeake Bay Preservation Area, the tank is required by state law to be pumped out and visually inspected every five years. In addition to these requirements, every septic system also needs scheduled maintenance and repair to function at peak operation and lower the risk of a sewage spill.
Scheduled maintenance can preserve a system’s integrity, save thousands of dollars over the life of the tank, and protect the local environment. A robust maintenance plan includes regular pumping and removal of the effluent or wastewater, alarm system inspection, and inspection of the ejector pump and float control during a routine cleaning or other servicing.
Advantage Septic Service has performed septic tank cleaning in Haymarket VA and other, nearby towns and cities for more than 30 years. We are locally owned and one of the most respected businesses when it comes to residential and commercial wastewater system maintenance and repair in Northern Virginia. We take pride in creating maintenance and cleaning schedules that fit the requirements and budget of each customer and their septic system.
Each year, the state population increases and with it comes more commercial and residential growth. This rapid development is why Virginia requires every real estate transaction include an inspection of the septic system, certifying it for functionality. Particularly in more rural areas, we work closely with each party in the sale to ensure that our systems are fully operational. It is also why we install the newest floating arm sensors and high-level warning alarms, so owners and managers know when they need septic tank cleaning for their Haymarket VA home or business.
An alarm cannot catch every septic tank problem though. A common indication of trouble with the system is a gurgling or a hiccupping whenever a toilet is flushed. This is often accompanied by a strong odor. As the problem worsens, owners and building managers start to experience untreated sewage backing up into the bathrooms, kitchens, and even clothes washers in laundry rooms.
The problem usually means there is a blockage in the pipe leading to the tank, or a buildup of solid matter just inside the tank at the connection. If not dealt with rapidly, it can lead to cracks in the connection points and untreated sewage begins to leak into the soil around the tank. Annual inspections and cleanings identify these issues and prevent them from becoming a larger, and costlier, problem.
