Septic tanks are self-contained sewage maintenance systems, usually for rural homes not connected to municipal sewer systems. Every toilet, sink, and laundry drain empties into the underground septic tank in the backyard. Liquid waste is dispersed into the septic system’s underground drain filtration lines while solid waste sinks to the bottom of the tank itself. Over time, a tank fills up and must be pumped out, on average, every 3-5 years. When a septic tank is full, it may overflow into your yard or cause sewage to back up into household drains until the septic tank is pumped out.
