Septic Tank Pumping & Grease Trap Cleaning Pros , LLC
I have owned my own septic tank pumping and grease trap cleaning business since September of 1998. So I
guess you can say I have been "in deep do-do" for the past 19 years. My father started the business in
the early 1970s and now I pretty much manage and do the physical work as he did. I go to the gym every
morning at 5:00 AM to stay in shape as the job is more physically demanding than one would imagine.
That's about it. I work hard and play hard while I still can at age 39. Thanks for reading my personal
bio. Dan :-)

Common Grease Trap Interceptor and Septic System Emergency Problems
Although any septic tank or plumbing item may break or cease to stop working properly, the most common
objects that require emergency repair are septic tanks, grease traps, and sewage ejector tanks.
Septic systems contain an item known as a soakaway, which is a pit that is filled with rocks and rip-rap stone.
This area is where your wastewater and liquid effluent eventually travel to, and ends up permeating into the subsoil layers. Soakaways are also called drain fields, or leaching fields, and work the in same way by accepting the liquids that rise to the top of the septic tank through a series of distribution boxes and 4 inch diameter perforated drainage pipes. The solids-free liquid and septic effluent flow usually by gravity and is eventually distributed into the ground for permeation and natural ground filtering.
In the case of a low pressure pump-up system, also known as a pressure distribution system, a pump and grinder tank do all the work. The solids are chopped up like a food processor and once shredded enough arrive at the pump. The ejector pump then forces the sludge and other waste uphill to the holding tank. Here the solids and liquids separate. The solids and septic sludge settle to the bottom of the tank while the clear fluids take their journey out to the d-boxes and then to the leach fields for final processing into the ground.
When a dry-well is not functioning properly, your toilet might overflow, drains may make strange noises, the hook-up where your washing machine is connected may overflow, you may smell a foul odor in the air, etc. Septic tanks may also cause problems when they need a serious cleaning, which Dan Sexton can do quite readily.
Grease Trap Inspection and Maintenance
Grease traps are known for requiring more maintenance than septic tanks, because grease causes
more problems to plumbing systems than all other problems combined. Cooking grease does not dissolve, and may stick to the trap and pipes leading into the trap until it hardens. Hard grease will most likely need
to be removed with electric drain cleaning equipment.
Sewage ejector tanks contain a pump that lifts sewage to the level of the sewer line so it can flow out of the house and into the septic tank. These are necessary for houses that have bathrooms below the level of the master sewer line, or to speed up waste water that does not flow fast enough. To prevent damage to a sewage ejector pump, it is important to only flush human waste. Dan Sexton's company safely handles and maintains sewage ejector tanks, grease traps, and septic tanks, and ensure they meet necessary plumbing codes in your local area.
Septic Tank Pumping, Cleaning, Repair and Installation Tips
A Leaking or Damaged Septic Tank on Your Property, Is a Disaster Waiting to Happen!
It is one thing to take out the garbage or unclog the toilet, but a leaky septic tank is something on a whole other level. Fixing it involves a lot more than just a few plastic bags or a plunger – not to mention a terribly blocked nose. That is why it is important to leave the dirty work to those professionals that are trained, licensed, and equipped to handle it. Here are a few of the advantages of hiring a professional septic cleaning service like Dan Sexton's, Septic Tank Pumping Pros.
How Do You Know When You Have a Failing Septic System or Non- Porous Drain Fields?
Now that you know how a septic tank system works, you should also know when something is amiss. It is a huge misconception that a foul stinky odor is your only indication that your septic system is malfunctioning. You should also be aware of the four signs of possible failure listed below:
1) Sewage and effluent backing up in your drain pipes 2) Bright green, spongy grass on the drain field, even when the weather is hot and dry
3) Pooling of septic waste water or muddy soil around your septic system or in your basement
4) Strong smelling human waste odors right in the area of you septic tank or leach field chamber
Selecting the Correct Type of Septic Holding Tank for the Job Is Essential
Whether it is for a residential building or a commercial building, choosing the right septic tank can be quite tricky, what with all the factors you have to take into consideration.
First, you have to look at the average water consumption in your home. This includes all functions, from bathing, to cooking, watering the lawn, and all other tasks that requires flushing water down the drain. Choosing a septic tank design that can hold twice your average daily water usage is a good place to start. Anything smaller might not work properly in the long run and might cause you some expensive problems.
Another approach would be to consider the size of your home. The logic behind this is that a larger home can accommodate more people, which means that a larger home consumes more water than a small one. Big homes will of course require large septic tanks. A four-bedroom home would require a larger tank than one that only has one bedroom. Adding one extra bedroom as a buffer is a good idea so that there is an allowance for when a household is entertaining guests for an extended period of time.
Another factor you have to look into is the design. Some people focus too much on the brand name, and we are one of the top providers of engineered and conventional septic tank systems. Made with the sturdiest and highest quality materials in the market, you are assured that your concrete septic tank will stand the rest of time and function exactly the way it is supposed to. Other installers take the easy way out, but with technology moving ahead with leaps and bounds, the EZ Flow System has been a real shot in the arm for many septic system installers. For many, EZ Flow is the way to go in this day and age!
Pressure Distribution Factors and Pump Types
You also have to take into consideration the type of soil your septic tank will be installed to. Locations with coarse sand soils or gravel will require a pressure-type septic set-up. These are better equipped to handle underground settling. You also have to select the pump you will use. You may choose from centrifugal pumps or turbine pumps. Generally, you can get more uses out of turbine effluent pumps because they are designed to cycle hundreds of thousands of times. (STEP) or Septic Tank Effluent Pumping systems all have the need for a turbine or centrifugal type pump to distribute the waste.

There is always a fear that if a septic tank can leak once, it could eventually leak again. This is where experienced septic cleaners come in. They can help you keep the tank safe from any future leaks and provide important advice on how to properly maintain the integrity of the tank itself. These individuals can also provide information on how to maintain a healthy septic tank with ordinary or cheap materials that are readily available. But, they always advise septic customers to leave the septic tank pumping to the professionals and laborers for obvious reasons.
A Clean Septic Tank Equals a Healthy Home or Commercial Office Building!
Septic waste is extremely toxic and even the smallest amounts can result in sickness. In order to keep the people of the home, as well as those around it, in a healthy environment, the septic tank should be cleaned out regularly depending on the size of the tank itself. Accumulation of this matter encourages the growth of harmful bacteria and virus’ that could spread quite easily. Proper cleaning and maintenance of the septic tank is a must-do for every homeowner and should be left for an experienced team to handle.
The ABC's of Professional Septic System Installation
There’s no room for error with septic tank piping connections and leaching fields. Since they collect all the waste coming from your home, any leaks or connection problems pose a serious health risk. During a septic installation, your old tank will need to be removed, and this can become a messy job. Professionals will know how to safely remove your existing tank and spilled waste, and they will also take steps to keep the area clean while installing the new one.

If you are intending to design and install an above-ground (alternative septic system) septic installation, a significant amount of digging will be required to install a new tank. This requires heavy construction equipment, which you’ll have to rent. You’ll also need to know how to operate it. If you aren’t experienced, you may cause significant damage to your property and could also injure yourself. Septic inspection and installation technicians will be trained and certified to use the proper equipment and tools to complete a professional installation.
System Cost Versus Job Quality and Warranties

In the long run, this will save you and your family a major headache, unnecessary stress and financial pain, versus scheduling and installing a very complexly designed septic system yourself.
