Septic
Pumps Can Get Through a Frozen System
Sometimes
during the winter here in northeastern Texas, the right conditions can cause a
septic system to freeze. This usually happens when the system isn’t used for an
extended period of time and sufficient temperatures are not able to prevent
freezing.
Checking your septic system before winter weather is
important. A full tank that freezes over can cause waste to back up in your
pipes and violently burst and nobody wants that to happen. You can always ask
us at Cornish Burton Sigala Septic Services about holding tanks equipped with
alarms that will warn you when the tank is near its filling point. Always
staying a step ahead of your system is a great way to prevent septic tank
freezing during a frigid winter.
Fortunately, if your septic system does freeze over, our
team of expert septic cleaners can break through the ice and get their jobs
done. As long as trucks can reach your tank, it is possible for a winter pump.
Insulation Can Minimize the Risk of Your Septic Tank Freezing
Insulating
your tank before the colder weather arrives is a great way to reduce the
likelihood of any septic tank troubles in the future. Cornish Burton Sigala
Septic Services can help you decide on the proper methods of insulation that
you can use on your specific septic tank.
If all else fails and your tank does end up freezing,
follow these steps before reaching out to your septic professional for help.
- Don’t add antifreeze or an additive to your
system
- Don’t try to thaw your system out with an
open flame
- Don’t run water over the system to try to thaw
out the problem
Correcting this problem as soon as possible is
important because failure to take care of it will almost guarantee a refreeze
in the next winter season. We strongly advise against trying to determine where
the problem stems from since your septic system is full of waste that is
hazardous to your health. Our expert septic cleaning and pumping team will be
able to determine the root of your problem and safely handle your winter septic
system problem.
