Conventional leach fields use perforated plastic pipes laid in a twelve inch gravel bed. It is not a stretch of the imagination to envision those small holes clogging faster than a three foot wide chamber. That’s why we only sell the best!
Infiltrator® chamber leach fields are high-density polyethylene arches that interlock to form a continuous drainage area with a much greater storage (“surge”) volume than conventional perforated pipe leach fields. Installation simply involves digging a series of three foot wide trenches connecting the Infiltrator chambers and then backfilling with the soil you originally removed. No gravel is needed, but adding gravel above and below your chambers is always an upgrade to aid percolation in poor soils.
If you have slow moving drains in your home, it may be time to have your sewer line inspected and cleaned. The expert plumbers at Absolute Septic Tank Service can inspect and clean your sewer line.
The most common causes for a blocked or sluggish sewer line:
Tree roots
Excessive rainfall
Buildup of grease, hair, soap scum and other waste
Broken or leaky pipes
Improper installation of sewer lines
Sewer system over capacity for current use
The main sewer line is the biggest drain in your home, with all other drains from your bathrooms, kitchen and laundry room flowing into it. An annual inspection and cleanout (if necessary) can prevent the damage created when a sewer line backs up into your household drains. One of our experienced technicians can perform this service at a reasonable cost. Your technician will review your sewer line and report any causes for concern about the health of your sewer system, and present options for maintenance and repair of any problems that might lead to a sewer line blockage.
Raw sewage backed up through the drains in your house can be a horrible experience. Taking the necessary steps in prevention and maintenance can help keep this messy, destructive experience from happening to you.
The Basics
Wastewater flows through small lines on your property to the larger, county lines in the street. This in turn travels to your city/county wastewater management system for reclamation. In order for this process to flow smoothly, each branch of the system must be working properly. If there is a blockage in your line, the disruption of flow can cause the sewage to run back into your home through the drains at the lowest point in your house.A blockage can occur for any number of reasons, disposal of diapers, sanitary napkins, kitchen grease and root intrusion are the most likely sources.
If a back up occurs: Call Absolute Emergency Service – 770-402-2481 immediately to have a technician on their way to assist.
Turn off water at the main shut off valve and discontinue and usage.
Prevention Don’ts:
Dispose of diapers or sanitary napkins in the toilet
Pour any type of grease down any drain
Allow trees and shrubbery to grow over and around your sewer line
Connect any drains or sump pumps to the sewer system
Prevention Do’s:
Install a plumbers test plug at the lowest floor drain in your home
Install a backflow valve on the lowest drain line.
Regularly inspect and maintain the valve
Have your plumber modify the line so that water is pumped to an upper level drain
Also… Locate and keep the sewer cleanout easily accessible.
If you do not have a cleanout, have one installed. The cleanout is the property owner’s responsibility. Check your homeowner’s insurance policy and make sure you are covered for backups. Clean ups are an expensive process.
