Septic Service Cleaning

After a septic system is installed it should be cleaned out at least every two years. This will promote long life and proper functioning for the septic system. Once the septic system is cleaned out, you will notice a layer of sludge, about 12″, at the bottom. This sludge is left behind as a “starter” layer of bacteria that will break down new wastewater entering the septic system. Check out the Products page to see enzymes that will keep your septic system working properly in between cleanings.

Hydro Jetting

Generally a septic system is made up of a tight line, a tank, and an absorption field. The absorption field is made up of lateral lines that can collect sludge over time. Mullin Septic uses a machine called a jetter. A jetter uses a special nozzle and high-pressure water to pull sludge out of the lateral lines. This septic tank service is designed to rejuvenate clogged lateral lines but should not be performed on systems that have reached or passed their life expectancy or systems with collapsed lateral lines. Call our office to find out if jetting is right for your system.

Alternate Septic Systems

Meanwhile, not every home or facility is located on land that has a good percolation rate. Some systems are designed to aid in evaporation and absorption of treated wastewater such as the ETA and chamber systems. An ETA system uses a similar layout to the traditional septic system but is designed to speed the rate of absorption and evaporation using gravel (or other media), sand, and a permeable cloth separator in place of the native soil. However, the chamber system uses a slotted pipe which sets in a two-foot trench. Chamber systems do not use any media, such as gravel, but leaves a dirt floor for additional absorption area. As a result, his type of system can be used in different applications. Mullin Septic can help you decide which system will best suit your application. Call today for septic tank services!

SEPTIC TANK INSTALLATION

An aerobic system may also be referred to as an on-site wastewater treatment system. By either name, the system can sound foreign but it simply uses bacteria, oxygen, and chlorine to speed the natural break down process turning wastewater into a sanitary non-potable effluent. If your property’s soil does not meet requirements for a traditional septic system, an aerobic system may be the right alternative for you. Mullin Septic installs aerobic systems in one to two days.

The homes drainage will be unusable for a few hours while the existing system is being exchanged with the new system, but this time is kept to a minimum. Mullin Septic secures the permit required by the DEQ and an inspection that is performed by a state certified inspector. The worksite will be brought back to rough grade but you can call (918) 209-3133 to find out about our landscaping. Our experienced staff is always eager to serve you.

SEPTIC TANK MAINTENANCE

The Oklahoma DEQ requires a maintenance agreement on all new aerobic systems and wastewater testing on all systems regardless of the installation date. Mullin Septic offers a maintenance program that not only meets the DEQ’s requirements but relieves the worry of time-sensitive system checks. Furthermore we will provide chlorine for the system, clean the filters, and perform a detailed examination of the system. Call our office for an in-depth description of our aerobic services and maintenance plans.

SEPTIC TANK CLEANING SERVICES

Once an aerobic system is installed, the pre-treat tank should be cleaned at least once every two years. Cleaning this tank is a good way to ensure a long system life and also to check for any potential problems with the system. Older systems that have been neglected may need all three tanks in the system cleaned to remove any solid overflow into the aerobic treatment unit, or the pump tank. Call Mullin Septic to schedule your aerobic service today.

AEROBIC SERVICES

If your aerobic system is not under maintenance with a certified installer be sure to maintain chlorine in the system. Calcium Hypochlorite is the type of chlorine approved by the EPA and designed to work best in an aerobic system. The chlorine kills 99 percent of bacteria within 10 minutes of contact and dissolves quickly. DO NOT put swimming pool chlorine into your system as it is not designed for this application and can cause harm to your system and to the environment.

Some homes or facilities are located on land that does not perc. Alternate systems, such as chambers, ETA, aerobic systems, or lagoons, are needed. A lagoon is a type of lagoon wastewater treatment system that uses a holding tank (like a septic tank) to catch and break down solids and the lagoon itself. The holding tank will need to be cleaned out periodically to prevent solid waste from flowing into the lagoon.

A lagoon resembles a pond but has a raised rim called the berm that diverts water away from the lagoon. Nothing should grow on the berms that will cast a shadow over the lagoon because this will decrease the rate of evaporation. Lagoons vary in size depending on the estimated monthly flow of wastewater from the house or facility. The lagoon should be kept at a level that is acceptable to the EPA and the DEQ so pumping will be necessary from time to time. At Mullin Septic, we are ready and have a knowledgeable pumping crew. Our company boasts some of the biggest hauling trucks around, so no matter if you need 1,000 gallons or 100,000 gallons pumped, Mullin Septic is the company to call. (918) 209-3133.

We can help you bring your lagoon to DEQ Compliance! Call today to learn more about lagoon wastewater treatment systems.
