Basics Of A Septic Tank

A septic tank is a large underground container that is used to treat wastewater from a home or building that is not connected to a public sewer system. The tank is typically made of concrete or fiberglass and is designed to separate solids and liquids. The wastewater enters the tank and is held there until the solids settle to the bottom and the liquids rise to the top. The liquids are then discharged into a drain field where they are further treated by the soil. Regular maintenance is required to ensure the tank operates properly and to prevent backups and other issues.
