  If you've a tank, or are taking into consideration the purchase of the home with one, there are life-saving facts you need to know about septic tanks.
  
  A septic tank takes the sewage from the house, the solids settle out and fat drifts to the very best. Between your two levels is a clear watery level that's piped away to an absorption area...
  
  Many rural domiciles are not connected to a mains sewage system. These homes rely on a sewage treatment plant named a septic tank.
  
  If you've a tank, or are considering the purchase of a home with one, there are life-saving facts you need to know about septic tanks.
  
  A septic tank takes the sewage from the house, the solids settle out and oil floats to the most effective. Between the two layers is a clear watery layer that's piped away to an absorption area where it is allowed to percolate away, through the earth. Any nutrients are broken down by soil bacteria prior to the sewage reaches the water bearing rocks, or any streams.
  
  Septic tanks are often buried in-the surface. You can find three major types, which cause different concerns.
  
  Metal tanks decay, specially when buried in-the floor. A steel septic tank can be therefore corroded that it can lead to someone walking over it falling through and in to the tank. The person is suffocated by the methane produced in-the tank, or drowns.
  
  Concrete tanks might be damaged internally, leading to permanent and costly to rectify damage to the consumption drain-field.
  
  The worst tanks are those developed from concrete blocks on-site. Sometimes the blocks are simply laid and not cemented together. Even if they are cemented together years of attack from acidic sewage can reduce the mortar. These tanks may fall without warning and probably fail to meet local planning and environmental protection rules.
  
  How do you tell if your septic tank has problems?
  
  It STAY AWAY if you can find ANY aspects of sunken ground around. Call in a contractor instantly. You might drop through, to the septic tank and die if you move on these areas. These are signs that the septic tank has partly collapsed.
  
  Look for signs of solid sewage material in-the drain-field region. as the septic tank has not been next pumped out regularly If the drain-field has been infected, this is often very expensive to fix.
  
  If you are purchasing a home with a tank, you should insist on the tank being pumped out and a study by way of a septic tank builder carried out. It is extremely hard to examine a septic tank properly while it is full.
  
  You may need to buy a contractor to offer a written report to you, but this is a little amount in comparison to the price of any necessary remedial work
