Expert Septic Tank Services in Easton, PA

Typical septic system inspection companies employ technicians whose limited training does not impart the specific knowledge necessary to determine the underlying cause of a problem that may be encountered during the course of an inspection. An engineering assessment is warranted in many circumstances to determine both the cause of the problem and the most appropriate solution. In New Jersey, only a licensed professional engineer can design a septic system.

A septic system is a subsurface wastewater treatment and disposal system. In most circumstances a septic system will serve only one individual house or building. The sewage from the house enters the system through a building sewer and is treated before being discharged into the ground. Modern systems include a septic tank to retain solids, greases and fats and a disposal field to allow the liquid (effluent) to flow into the ground.

No. Although a sand mound does include the pump and its associated electrical connections, a properly designed and installed sand mound is no more prone to failure than a conventional septic system.

Digestion of the solids that accumulate within the septic tank is a naturally occurring process. The microbes that drive the digestion process are present in raw sewage at a high enough concentration that supplemental products are not normally necessary. However, adding commercially available products will not harm your system.
