All wastewater and waste from washing machines, sinks and toilets flows to the septic tank, a concrete or fiberglass water tight container buried underground near the house. In the septic tank, heavy solids settle to the bottom where they are broken down by bacteria and form sludge. Fats and grease float to the surface and form a layer of scum. In between is the clear liquid waste. The septic tank has a distribution box and pipes to the drain field, a system of trenches and pipes where the wastewater is biologically treated by soil.

Regular maintenance is the key to a septic system functioning well over a long time. Homeowners can help maintain their septic system by using a septic system checklist and being aware of how the septic system works. It is also important to conserve water, so less wastewater enters the septic system.

Choosing a septic service provider that is licensed and certified by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) is important. This certification means that the septic service professional has passed written, oral and practical exams and understands the New York State Sanitary Code.
Septic service providers have specialized equipment like pumping trucks, sewer jets and high-capacity vacuum cleaners. They also use video inspection technology to detect problems and provide prompt repairs. Attempting to clean a septic tank yourself can be costly, not only because of the cost of buying or renting the equipment but also because it may damage the entire septic system.
