Many properties in the Tompkins County area are subject to the use of private septic systems to deal with the household waste water. The septic system itself is a simple make up of drainage pipes exiting the dwelling, running into a cement holding tank, which them drains out into the leach field.
The septic tank itself is a holding tank equipped with a grease trap which catches solid materials which are flushed down the drain from cooking and cleaning. This grease trap needs to be cleaned regularly to prevent clogging in the system. Failure to clean the grease trap can cause paper and other slowly deteriorating items to get trapped and eventually clog the main pipe which prevents the household water waste from entering the tank.
When that entrance pipe becomes clogged, the back up into your home or basement can be quite disastrous. Some of the first signs would be a gurgling from the sink or tub drains when you are emptying out either one. This gurgle is telling you that the drains, pipes or septic tank are dangerously clogged or full.
