Knight's Septic Tank Inc. was set up in 1969 by Bud Knight and one pump pick up truck. Over the years he pumped out and installed septic systems, slowly but surely growing the company from what it is today. Servicing the needs of the tri-county area and beyond, Knight's Septic uses state of the art equipment to take care of all areas of residential and commercial septic systems and grease traps. Soil absorption fields need to be guarded from solids and rainfall. Unless you pump the container, solids can get into the field. Rainfall jogging off roofs or concrete areas should be drained across the earth absorption field to avoid the field from filling with water. Regular inspections and pumping are critical. But if you're not squeamish, you can examine the sludge level yourself with a device called The Sludge Judge. It costs $100 to $125 and is also accessible online. Once you have identified that your tank is one-third filled with sludge, call a contractor to come pump it out.
The septic tank system is an underground system of pipes and tanks made to treat bathroom, kitchen and laundry wastewater through effortlessly occurring bacteria and microorganisms. In more aged homes, a septic system may be considered a pipe leading from the house to a cesspool. In newer homes, a septic system usually is made of a series of pipes linking a septic reservoir, distribution container and a leach, or drainfield.
