Septic Tanks Woodstock, GA

How a Septic System Works

Septic tanks are made of plastic, concrete, or fiberglass and are positioned underneath your property, where pipes direct wastewater to the reservoir. Once inside the tank, the waste separates into liquids, scum, and sludge. Sludge consists of solid waste, while scum is made of oils and substances that are less dense than water and thus float to the surface. The bacteria inside the tank grow and decomposes the substances inside. The tank’s fittings prevent the sludge and scum from moving into the drain field. As the tank fills, the liquid waste flows into the drain field, where it gets absorbed into the surrounding soil.
