Tank Pump
The Septic Tank Pumping Process
To understand what is involved in septic tank pumping, it is first important to understand what a septic system is, what it does and how it works. A septic system is, very simply, an underground treatment system for household sewage. A typical septic system consists of 4 components: the pipe from the house, the septic tank, a drain field and the soil. Damage or malfunction of any of these components can cause the system to fail which can result in soil and drinking water contamination and costly repairs or replacements by the homeowner.
How it works
A very basic explanation of how the system works begins with waste water leaving the house through the plumbing network inside the house to the pipe leading to the septic tank. The tank is buried underground and is usually constructed in a water tight manner of concrete, fiberglass or polyethylene. It is intended to hold the waste water long enough to allow the solids to settle to the bottom (to form sludge) and the oils to float to the top (to form scum). Some of the solid waste decomposes as well. There are compartments and a "t" shaped outlet from the septic tank that prevents the sludge and scum from leaving the tank to travel to the drain fields. Once the liquid enters the drain field, it is filtered through the several layers of soil for the final treatment by removal of harmful bacteria, viruses and nutrients.
Septic tank pumping is required periodically to remove the sludge and scum from the tank. If the sludge and scum is allowed to build up in the tank, it can clog the drainage from the septic tank and the drain field. Any local septic service company in your are can provide periodic septic tank inspections as well as pumping and cleaning of your tank to keep everything working as it was designed.
The pumping process
The process of septic tank pumping involves the use of a large tank truck with suction pumps and hoses. The hoses are inserted into the manhole opening at the ground level to remove the scum and sludge accumulation. The sludge and scum are sucked into the tank on the truck and it is later disposed of in an approved manner and place. The septic service companies in Molalla will inspect the tank, valves and the ground around the system to assess for leaks or clogged areas. Areas needing attention will be brought to the attention of the homeowner and an appropriate resolution suggested.

Our basement sump pump tank is almost dry and filled with slimy black mold, how, & what do I use to clean it?
It normally has about 6- 8 inches of water in it, but it's just moist at the bottom now and about an inch of black slim covered highly gasy smelling mold has covered the bottom of the tank...any healthy sure proof suggestions on how to get rid of it?
1-clean the filter (spray with a mild household cleaner and run hot water through it)
2- flush it out with your water hose, to make sure its still working
3- if it is still working, put vinegar and salt in it (1 cup vinegar, 1 tablespoon table salt) leave for 10 minutes, then flush it again
4- replace the filter with a new one
do not breath in the mold, cover your mouth and nose! rubber gloves wouldn't hurt either!
