The
sewage and septic systems of your household are the major parts of your sewage
system that are very important to maintain. Maintenance is basically the key to
longer time intervals of Sewer & Drain Cleaning NJ which includes pumping out
the solid sludge on your tank and drain devices replacements.
Common
problems are usually clogged kitchen drains and clogged shower drains, as well
as clogged bathroom sinks and toilets, including clogged floor drains in
basements and garages. Overflowing septic tanks are major problems that cannot
wait and must be solved fast.
Signs
For
drains, the biggest warning signs are the slow drainage of water when it first accumulates
in the drain area and takes some time before slowly draining itself away. This
may be accompanied by foul odor, some strange gurgling sounds, and the backup
up of waste liquid.
In
drains, the blockage is obvious and might be stanched temporarily. It is
alarming when your toilet will not drain fast, and sometimes are completely
blocked for longer and longer time.
The
worse thing that could happen is when the liquid and other matters in your
toilet bowl overflows into your floors. These are the concrete signs that water
has nowhere to go and goes back up.
Waste matter
Clogging
and blockages are usually caused not just by the disposal of regular human
wastes. Everyday household items contribute greatly to the obstruction in sewer
and drain pipes leading to your septic tanks.
These
include such items as hair, toothpaste, toiletries, soaps and shampoos (from
bathrooms), hard to dissolve toilet paper (in toilets) and grease, grime and
fats (from the kitchen). These items accumulate inside the pipes and other
areas in the system.
The
volume of these materials builds up and can finally block off the flow of
anything in the pipes. This is where proper Sewer & Drain Cleaning NJ should be concentrated.
Other items
Harmless-looking
items like detergents, bleaches, drain cleaners, cleaning water, petrol, coffee
grounds, disposable diapers, condoms, plastics and plastic products are
actually bad for the system. Choose other ways to dispose of them, instead of
into your septic system.
The
biggest factor is that these items either kill of destroy the bacteria that
helps decompose natural organic matter. Excessive use of household chemicals
may slow down or stop the natural decomposition action of the bacteria.
The
worst-case scenario is that they can destroy the bacteria that cause
decomposition. Other items are simply non-biodegradable. Some plastics have a
half-life of half-a-billion years.
Maintenance

maintenance such as pumping solid wastes out of your septic tanks is usually
contracted to professional cleaning companies. The same is true to cleaning the
drains and pipes in your sewers. Both
can be costly if the services are contracted frequently due to clogging and
other problems.
As
household owner, you can decrease the costs in maintaining your septic system
(septic tank pump jobs, de-clogging drains, etc.) by observing simple rules in
disposing of the right waste materials in your system. Through care on the
items thrown into your bowls and sinks, you can reduce expenses in your regular
sewer and drain cleaning by making
them less frequent.
