Mid-South Septic Tank Services

Septic tank inspection holds paramount importance for both environmental preservation and public health. Regular inspections ensure that these vital wastewater treatment systems operate efficiently, preventing potential leaks, backups, and contamination of groundwater. A thorough assessment can identify issues early on, allowing for timely repairs and maintenance, which not only extend the lifespan of the septic system but also mitigate the risk of costly, disruptive failures. Furthermore, proper septic tank inspection helps safeguard the well-being of communities by minimizing the spread of harmful pathogens and pollutants, underscoring its essential role in maintaining the integrity of our ecosystems and protecting the health of individuals and communities alike.

Septic tank repairs, pumping, and draining are important for the proper functioning of a household’s wastewater disposal system. These essential maintenance tasks ensure that the septic tank continues to efficiently and safely process and treat sewage and wastewater. Regular pumping and draining prevent the accumulation of sludge and scum, which can lead to blockages and system failures if left unattended. Additionally, timely repairs address any structural or mechanical issues, preserving the longevity of the septic system and preventing costly and hazardous backups or leaks. Neglecting these crucial maintenance procedures can result in environmental contamination, health risks, and significant financial burdens, underlining the vital role they play in safeguarding both public and environmental well-being.

Fixing a broken sewer line leading to the septic tank is critical for several reasons. Firstly, it ensures the proper functioning of the entire septic system, preventing backups, overflows, and potential health hazards that can arise from untreated wastewater spilling into the environment. Secondly, a well-maintained sewer line promotes the longevity of the septic tank itself, reducing the risk of costly replacements or repairs. Furthermore, addressing a broken sewer line promptly can help prevent contamination of groundwater and surface water, safeguarding the surrounding ecosystem and public health. In essence, repairing this critical infrastructure component is not just a matter of convenience but a fundamental responsibility to safeguard both the environment and the well-being of those reliant on the septic system.

Mid-South Septic Tank Services LLC has a complete line of bacteria for your septic systems and is a CCLS distributor.

Septic tanks are home to beneficial bacteria, which decompose & transform waste products into an environmentally safe substance before draining. To maintain a healthy septic system, a regular pumping of the tank, the addition of beneficial bacteria & installation of a system filter are important.

CCLS is an all natural bacterial additive that contains 50 million colony-forming bacteria.

The Advanced Enviro-Septic (AES) system from Presby Environmental is an effective, passive and nonmechanical onsite wastewater treatment system for residential, commercial and community use. The system is NSF Class I certified and BNQ certified for secondary and advanced secondary treatment.

It can remove up to 99 percent of wastewater contaminants by establishing multiple bacterial treatment environments throughout the system that break down and digest contaminants that leave the septic tank. The natural process allows the system to discharge highly purified wastewater, preventing soil clogging and groundwater contamination. No electricity or replacement media are required.

Your septic air pump is the lifeline to your aerobic system. The system cannot function properly without the air pump working. It will put oxygen into the water, allowing the formation & survival of aerobic bacteria, which eat up all the waste in the tank. Air pump sizing is very important to the operation of your system & not every system uses the same size air pump. There are many different types & sizes of pumps. The size of the air pump is normally determined by the volume capacity of the tank, the style of air diffusers in the tank & how many gallons per day the system is designed to treat. Mid-South Septic Tank Services LLC will ensure that you get the right air pump for your tank.

Sewage Treatment Plants are used when it is not possible to install a septic tank, often due to high water tables, high levels of bedrock or clay soils. There are electric & non-electric systems. The electric system consists of a small electrically driven unit contained in one tank or housing. The non-electric system uses natural air currents to power the process so they don’t need spare parts replaced. They save carbon dioxide emissions, reducing greenhouse gases, & are suitable for intermittent use.

Maintenance & emptying are required at regular intervals. Mid-South Septic Tank Services LLC will help you determine how often your system needs maintenance & emptying.

Grease traps are generally used in the restaurant & food processing business to prevent fats, oils & grease from entering the septic tank. They operate by allowing incoming wastewater to enter the “clear zone” in the grease trap. The fats, oils & grease collect at the top of the trap, while the wastewater exits through an opening at the bottom of the trap. The fats, oils & grease remain at the top of the tank and never leave the trap.

Grease traps should be serviced or pumped on a regular basis, or the trap can be filled with the fats, oils & grease. When this happens, these will no longer remain in the trap and can start producing an unpleasant odor.

Lift stations play a crucial role in septic systems, serving as unsung heroes that ensure the efficient and hygienic disposal of wastewater from homes and businesses. These indispensable components are responsible for lifting and transporting sewage and wastewater from lower-lying areas to higher elevation treatment facilities, preventing backups, and ensuring the continuous flow of effluent. By facilitating the seamless operation of septic systems, lift stations help safeguard public health, protect the environment, and maintain the integrity of our communities. Their significance becomes all the more apparent when considering the alternative – untreated sewage overflow, contamination risks, and potential health hazards. In essence, lift stations are the unseen champions of septic systems, silently working to keep our sanitation systems running smoothly.
