How does Milford Septic Company work your tank?

The Milford Septic Company has been in the septic tank cleaning and maintenance business in years! They understand the working of a septic tank very well. Each septic system is different, but every septic tank works in the same way. The wastewater from the house is carried into the septic tank by gravity. Then the tank holds this water for one or two days more. During this time, the anaerobic bacteria that is inside the tank breaks down the substances in the water. The bacteria then separate the wastewater into solid, grease, oils and floating substances. 

The bacteria then break down the home’s wastewater. Every septic tank has a scum layer that is floating around in the top, the partially treated grey water in the middle and thick, heavy sludge lining at the bottom. The Milford Septic Company ensures that the three layers reach the desired level of equilibrium so that your septic system functions properly. 

In the following steps, the grey water inside the tank flows into a drain field. From there, it enters the soil and flows out of the holes, along the pipes. This soil then acts as a natural filter for any other remaining waste product in the water. 

The process isn’t a very simple one, but the Milford Septic Company is always ready to help, in case of septic block or clog!
