Whether you live in a rural area or a town without centralized sewer systems, septic systems provide an effective way to dispose of household wastewater. Using natural processes, septic systems separate solid waste from liquid and treat the wastewater in a septic tank and soil absorption field. However, septic systems must be properly maintained to protect the environment and prevent a costly disaster.

When selecting a septic service provider, choose a company that provides a full range of services to ensure your system works well. In addition, a reputable septic service company will offer straightforward fee schedules and upfront protection.

How Miller’s Septic Services Help Prevent Costly Repairs

Miller’s Septic Tank Cleaning maintenance includes routine cleaning and pumping, repairs and inspections. The septic tank is a buried, watertight container that holds the wastewater from your toilets, drains and sinks. The wastewater is treated through natural processes, removing harmful bacteria and viruses and reducing coliform levels (a common indicator of fecal contamination).

The wastewater percolates into the soil, where it is naturally absorbed and filtered. This process protects the water supply and reduces environmental impacts such as groundwater contamination.

Inspect your septic system at least every three years or as recommended by your local health department. It’s also a good idea to inspect your septic tank and the drainfield before beginning any landscaping or yard work. Avoid burying or planting anything over the septic tank and drainfield.

You should also regularly check for bad odors around your home, especially in the kitchen and bathroom. This can be a sign of a leak in the septic system or an obstruction preventing waste from flowing through your pipes.
