Hiring a professional to deal with septic tank issues is often one of the best options to consider, mostly because they can safely work on your septic tank while also finding ways to make your tank more efficient. Listed below are just a few of the many reasons to hire a professional when dealing septic tank issues.
They Can Avoid Using Harmful Drain Cleaners
One major reason to hire a professional when you have a septic tank is if you happen to have a clogged pipe. In that situation, you really do not want to attempt to clean the pipe yourself with store-bought drain cleaners as many of those can have a very detrimental effect on your septic tank, mostly because they will likely kill off a lot of the bacteria that break down the waste in

In many cases, you may find that issues with your septic tank backing up or becoming full quickly are not a result of the type of waste or other items that you are flushing down your drains.
Instead, these issues may stem from the fact that your drain pipe that allows the waste to leave the tank and go out into the drain field is damaged or was installed in a very inefficient manner. In that situation, the septic service can actually inspect that pipe and either reposition it or replace it entirely in order to make it so that you do not have to have your tank emptied as frequently and so that you don't have to worry about an overflowing tank as much.
They Can Perform Regular Inspections
Finally, you will want to hire a professional to take a look at your septic tank on a fairly regular basis. In most cases, you will be able to get away with having the septic tank inspected every couple of years, but some septic tanks will require more frequent inspections if they have any electrical components installed in them. The reason that it is so important that you get these regular inspections performed is that it will allow the service to discover any causes for concern as early as possible when they can still be repaired rather than you discovering the problem after the septic tank has already had a catastrophic
In this image, a sewage worker is seen cleaning the drainage system, with his bear hands, without the use of either any equipment’s or protection. On the first glace, the image depicts the idea of health risk, because the man is exposed to such contaminants, which for him is work. He is looking up from a dirty drain, covered in filth, which shows that he is clearly used as the subject of this image, whom we are engaged to more as he is making eye contact with its viewers. This picture only includes one person into the frame, as the other man’s face isn’t available to see in this picture, which is man that is holding the bucket. Holding a bucket either emphasise the idea that he is helping the sewage worker, either to get the dirt out or to put the dirt in the drainage system.
Entire towns and rural households that lack wastewater treatment systems discharge raw wastewater directly into rivers and streams through open lines known as “straight pipes.” (O’Dell, 2005). The lack of proper wastewater disposal promotes environmental degradation and creates potential health hazards, including contamination of drinking water sources.
...eading contributor of pollutants to lakes, rivers, and reservoirs…..Surface discharges can be caused by heavy storms or floods that cause storage lagoons to overfill, running off into nearby bodies of water. Pollutants can also travel over land or through surface drainage systems to nearby bodies of water, be discharged through manmade ditches or flushing systems found in CAFOs, or come into contact with surface water that passes directly through the farming area.

Between 800 and 735 B.C, Rome built its first sewers to improve cleanliness in the city. The Roman sewers were an improved version of the older Etruscan sewers. The Roman sewers consisted of latrines which connected to the toilet bowl and took the raw sewage underground, under the city to be dumped out in a lake or other body of water outside the city. At first, the only people who were able to get latrines were the wealthy because the latrines were very expensive. Then, in about 60-70 A.D, Rome started building public toilets because their

Background: Waste water treatment plants are essential to communities of all sizes and must work efficiently. Waste water treatment plant primary priority and responsibility is the treatment of incoming sewage water by the removal of biological and chemical wastes so it can be treated and recycled for future use. There are many government agencies and standards set forth to govern and observe the successful treatment of sewage, such as the Department of Environmental Quality, the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System and the Clean Water Act of 1972. Compliance and constant monitoring of the treatment plant’s operations are important as they protect the surrounding community. A spill or backflow of sewage due to a complete system malfunction could potentially be detrimental to the environment and local community.
The average human can not live any longer than three days without water. Many of the world’s fresh water sources are running dry or are being contaminated, particularly in developing nations, leaving many without safe water to drink. Only two and a half percent of the Earth’s water is freshwater, and less than one percent is accessible by humans (not tied up in ice caps). This one percent of the Earth’s water supply is expected to sustain a population of over 7 billion people, each needing 2.6 liters a day to remain fully healthy, plus all of the water required for agriculture and industry. These scenarios will only become more and more prevalent as time moves on and we consume more water. The United Nations has classified our planet as being in the midst of a global “water crisis.” Global water supply and shortages are becoming an incredibly real and serious issue, and planning for the future is key to preventing population decline due to a lack of safe drinking water. Shortages of drinking water lead to wars and serious international conflict for basic human survival needs. One of the most popularly and commonly proposed solutions to this problem is to create seawater desalination plants to remove salt from ocean water to make it safe to drink. These water desalination plants, however, are not a viable option to carry us in to the future due to their potentially harmful impacts and expenses.
Approximately 844 million people (one tenth of the population) in the world do not have access to clean and 2.3 billion do not have access to a decent toilet. This poor sanitation and contaminated water quality is the cause of death for over 289 000 children under the age of 5 every year.
Have you ever had to walk miles away just to get clean drinking water, or don’t even not have access to clean drinking water? People all over the world, even in North America, don’t have access to clean drinking water or have to walk very far just to drink water. The main areas where this problem is prominent is in third world countries, and this is due to the lack of money and sanitation (Millions Lack Safe Water). Due to this lack of sanitation, water borne diseases can grow and infect people who consume it. Clean water is very important for life, and within this paper I will explain why we need it, how it can affect us, and what it will take to obtain clean water.
Untreated sewage can contaminate the environment and cause diseases, such as diarrhea. The sewage is mainly biodegradable and can be treated in water treatment plants, but it is a major problem in countries that are not quite developed yet.
The above Pie-Chart shows the percentage of the contents of waste water. Wastewater mainly consists of the water wasted by toilet flushing which is highly contaminated with ammonia and urea. Secondly, the wastewater consists of water wasted by house cleaning which may consist of wastes like soaps and detergents. Thirdly, it consists of laundry waste and then there is wastage of water by bathing and kitchen use.
If hired by water utilities, civil engineers will design irrigation and sewer systems. They will also develop new methods to remove excess water after storms and floods. These civil engineers must also ensure that their water systems do not cause damage to the environment. Civil engineers hired by landfill management companies will design new landfill sites and monitor their operation. As landfill sites reach capacity, civil engineers will be tasked with sealing the sites and monitoring gas emissions (Kielmas).
Chemicals and impurities removed from water may not be disposed properly thus polluting the environment. A sheet volume of discarded filters may add up to landfill mass. The system itself may take up large amount of spaces and cause lots of noises and destructions. There may also be chemical or wastewater spills if not handled properly.
