Action Septic Tank Service
Septic Tank & Sewage System Specialists in USA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars15 September 2015
“Action Septic Tank Service is only as good as its owner, Matt Banta. I've known him for over 2 years, I know he masters his profession and that (despite life's challenges) he comes thru time after time. Not only do you want Matt on the job as for his service, but you want him for his dependability. Thats rare, not that many don't have what it takes, just that Matt is another "sure thing." If you're a homeowner in need of a dependable Septic Tank Service man, Matt Banta is the truth.”

Sewage treatment is a dilemma for all new house constructions that are not without ready connection to local council services. Once installed, your effluent is dealt with in a tank that allows separation and absorption into the ground. Septic system experts in USA will let you know if your setup must meet Environment Protection Authority Guidelines.

Septic tank prices in USA vary depending on the size of the family home, just as installations will be pricier in less forgiving landscapes which require more planning and excavation. Wastewater management may also include the treatment of grey water - wastewater collected from washing machines, dishwashers and kitchen sinks.

How Do Septic Tank and Sewage Systems Work?


A large concrete or steel septic tank can hold up to 1,000 gallons of water. Wastewater comes down into the tank on one side from your USA home’s sewage pipes and leaves the tank on the other side. Gases go up through a vent pipe through the roof of the house. Wastewater flows out of the septic tank and into a drain field made of perforated pipes, deeply buried and covered in gravel-filled trenches.

The drain field tends to be about 180 centimetres deep and sixty centimetres wide. Ultimately, the size of the drain field depends on how well the soil absorbs water, with slow-absorbing soil requiring a larger drain field. About one metre of gravel covers the drain pipes, with dirt filling the remainder.

Installing a septic tank system is best left to a licensed advanced wastewater treatment system installer, who can anticipate what size drain field your USA system will need. Whether you’re working on a new build or a renovation, make sure your septic expert and installer openly communicates with your builder or plumber. Here are some related professionals and vendors to complement the work of septic tanks & sewage systems: Building Project Managers, Plumbers.
