Commonwealth Waste Solutions Wants to Remind Glen Allen, VA Residents of the Importance of Regular Septic Tank Inspections

December 30, 2019 – – A Chesterfield, Virginia based company, Commonwealth Waste Solutions, would like to remind residents in their area of the importance of regular septic tank inspections. These inspections help ensure that a septic system is working the way it’s designed to and that it is not causing damage to the surrounding environment in any way. Those at the company added that people that are proactive in getting septic tank inspections tend to require less major repairs and far fewer septic emergencies that can cause big concerns for them. Chesterfield, Henrico, and Hanover Count residents that want more information on this company and their septic system recommendations can refer to their website at http://cwsseptic.com/henrico-county.

Company spokesperson, Jason Muzzy, talked more about routine septic tank inspections by saying, “The main reasons why we recommend routine septic tank inspections for everyone comes from both EPA posted recommendations and what we have learned ourselves during our many years in the business. An important part of these regular inspections is also getting them done by trained septic professionals like those we have working for us.” He says the septic tank inspections that they do for their customers are very thorough and the customer will be given a full assessment of their findings once that inspection has been completed.

According to US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) guidelines, Muzzy says that septic tanks should be inspected every 3 to 5 years at a minimum. He went on to add that the septic system inspections they do cover all the different aspects of septic systems. Their septic techs will do such things as inspecting the entire system for leaks and carefully examine the scum and sludge layers in the septic tank. They will also take a close look at the all-important T-shaped outlet which prevents sludge and scum from exiting the tank accidentally so it can travel into the drainfield area. Experts at Commonwealth Waste Solutions say it also helps them make accurate septic determinations when the customers supply them with such relevant information as to the age of their septic system and the last time it was pumped out. The spokesperson also noted that Commonwealth Waste Solutions not only recommends periodic septic inspections for their customers but those buying homes with septic systems should get them done before making a purchase too. More on this can be seen on the company’s website at https://cwsseptic.com/residential-services/septic-system-inspection.

Muzzy says that many times when one of the company’s knowledgeable service experts inspects a customer’s septic system, they find that it needs to be pumped out. He says the guideline that determines this is if the bottom of the scum layer is within six inches of the bottom of the outlet or if the top of the sludge layer is within 12 inches of the upper outlet. Septic tanks usually become full for one or more reasons. The most likely of which is a customer’s septic has simply not been pumped out in a long time. Other factors include the number of household members, the size of the septic system, unusual amounts of wastewater being generated, and a large volume of solids being present in the wastewater. He states that not only will their company pump out the full septic tank but they will also give the customer helpful advice on how to minimize these conditions so they can go much longer periods of time before needing their septic tanks to be pumped out again.

Muzzy says that they not only welcome their customers to contact them with questions and concerns by phone, but they always encourage their customers to stop by and see them in person at their Chesterfield, Virginia location for the same purpose.
