Professional Vaughan Septic Tank Replacement Services

Septic tanks handle wastewater treatment for homes without city sewer connections. These underground systems collect wastewater from your house, including toilets and kitchen sinks. As the wastewater enters the tank, it naturally separates. Solids sink to the bottom, where bacteria get to work breaking them down. Meanwhile, the liquid portion flows out into a drain field. There, the surrounding soil acts as a natural filter and absorbs and cleans the water as it passes through. Below you will find the complete process in an easy manner:

How a Septic Tank Functions:

1. Collection of Wastewater: All the wastewater from your home flows into the septic tank.
2. Separation of Solids and Liquids: Solid waste settles at the bottom of the tank and forms sludge. The lighter materials like grease float to the top and create scum. 
3. Bacterial Breakdown: Bacteria inside the tank break down the organic matter and reduce the solid waste.
4. Liquid Waste Discharge: The liquid waste exits the tank and enters the drain field, where soil naturally filters it.
5. Absorption and Purification: The soil in the drain field removes bacteria and impurities. 

We install different types of septic tanks based on your property’s needs. Here are the options available:

1. Concrete Septic Tanks

Concrete septic tanks are mostly used due to their longevity. They can handle loads of wastewater and environmental conditions. But these are quite heavy in weight and require professional installation to avoid cracks or leaks in the future. 

2. Plastic Septic Tanks

Plastic tanks are lightweight and easy to install. They are perfect for properties with less space or lower water usage. They don’t corrode like metal tanks, but you need to install them properly as they can shift in the ground.

3. Fiberglass Septic Tanks

Fiberglass tanks are strong, corrosion-resistant, and do not crack easily. They are lighter than concrete and highly durable. They work well in areas with high water tables since they are less likely to float or shift underground. 

4. Aerobic Septic Tanks

Aerobic tanks use oxygen to break down waste more efficiently. They require electricity but offer faster waste treatment and better environmental protection. These tanks are ideal for homes with smaller drain fields or areas with poor soil conditions.
