Septic Systems & Holding Tanks

Septic systems and holding tanks play a crucial role in the proper functioning of your plumbing system. As a homeowner, it is important to understand the significance of these components, as they ensure the safe disposal of wastewater and help maintain a clean and healthy environment. Belknap Plumbing, a reputable full-service plumbing company serving Wisconsin and Minnesota, is here to shed some light on septic systems and holding tanks and their importance in any residential or commercial property.

A septic system is an underground wastewater treatment system commonly found in rural areas or places without access to a centralized sewer system. It consists of a septic tank and a drainfield. Wastewater from your home flows into the septic tank, where solid waste settles at the bottom and scum floats to the top. The liquid waste, known as effluent, then exits the tank and enters the drainfield, where it is further treated by the soil. This natural process helps filter and purify the wastewater before it re-enters the groundwater.  Holding tanks, on the other hand, are temporary storage containers for wastewater. They are often used in situations where a septic system is not feasible due to various reasons such as high water tables or rocky terrain. Holding tanks are typically sealed and require regular pumping to prevent overflow or leakage, as they do not have the natural treatment capabilities of a septic system.  Both septic systems and holding tanks require regular maintenance and monitoring to ensure their proper functioning. Neglecting these systems can lead to costly repairs, environmental contamination, and potential health hazards. Regular inspections by a professional plumbing company like Belknap Plumbing can identify any issues and provide timely solutions.
