Fouss Septic Systems

The modern septic tank is a water-tight box usually made of reinforced precast concrete, through which no natural bacteria is able to enter. This structure is where organic solids decompose by a natural enzymatic bacterial process.

The purpose of your tank is to treat household wastes including body wastes, laundry water, bath water and discarded food. Septic systems are designed to work indefinitely if they are properly installed and maintained. It is critical to have your septic tank pumped out regularly and to maintain proper levels of enzyme and bacterial action.

It is vital that the motor be in good working order on an aerator system for it to function properly. If the motor is not operating, you will experience diminished system life, increased odors, and groundwater pollution from your septic. A plugged airflow or materials building up on the shaft can cost you hundreds or thousands of dollars if ignored. It is vital that you ensure your motor is maintained in good working order for the life of your system.
