How does a septic tank work?
A septic tank is a watertight container that receives all wastewater from your home. Inside, solids settle to the bottom as sludge, and lighter materials like grease float to the top as scum. Bacteria naturally present in the tank help to partially break down the organic waste. The liquid effluent then flows out to a drain field for further treatment and dispersal into the soil.
