What is a Septic Tank?
A septic tank is a large underground tank that collects and treats wastewater from your property. It separates solids from liquids and allows the liquids to drain out into a drain field where they are absorbed into the soil. However, the solids that accumulate in the tank need to be removed regularly to avoid clogging and backups.
