A septic system is a system that has a variety of different parts that perform different tasks. Householders that don’t have access to a sewer system usually install a septic system. The septic tank is responsible for separating the liquid and solid waste. The wastewater is then sent to the drain field where it’s filtered before it’s sent into the ground. Anywhere in this process, if the drain field gets contaminated, the tainted water can seep into the groundwater supply and can be a serious risk to your health. Be mindful of getting a drain field inspection done once in a while to make sure there are no problems concerning your drain field.
Once the groundwater has been contaminated, it can affect many different water sources. Many homeowners that own septic systems get their source of water from wells nearby. If something goes wrong in the drain field or septic tank, the wastewater can mix with the groundwater that leads to the well and mix in with the drinking water. This is a major threat to your health. Drinking contaminated water from septic systems can lead to diseases like hepatitis and dysentery. You’ll need to call Rooter Septic Services immediately for septic tank repair before the contamination spreads to other sources of water as well.
Just like how it can affect your drinking water, contaminated wastewater can pollute larger bodies of water too. Numerous property owners depend on septic systems for the protection and successful treatment of their wastewater. Wastewater is treated by a septic system before it filters into the soil. Filtered water from a septic system can help recharge groundwater supplies; however, if the system isn't working as expected, it can contaminate bodies of water nearby. Figure out which supplements and microorganisms from your septic system might affect rivers, lakes, or other waterbodies close to your home.
During drain field inspection, the inspector makes sure everything is functioning properly and there are no damaged or cracked pipes. You can keep an eye out for any warning signs that may mean something is not in good condition. While you’re having your drain field inspected, it would be a good idea to check out the other parts of your septic system too, such as your septic tank. It’s encouraged to have an inspection every year since your septic tank installation. Search more on how to avoid septic tank repair and look after your septic system with Rooter Septic Services.
