There are a few steps to having a septic system installed, but don’t worry

takes one to two days with only a few hours gap in drain usage. Mullin Pumping back
fills the worksite to rough grade with the option of a landscape upgrade. Every
system installed by Mullin Pumping is permitted by the Department of Environmental
Quality and inspected by a state certified inspector. Be sure to call (918)251-PUMP

Cleaning
After a septic system is installed it should be cleaned out at least every two years.
This will promote long life and proper functioning for the septic system. Once the
septic system is cleaned out you will notice a layer of sludge, about 12",
at the bottom. This sludge is left behind as a "starter" layer of bacteria
that will break down new wastewater entering the septic system. Check out the Products
page to see enzymes that will keep your septic system working properly in between
cleanings.
Jetting
Your septic system is made up of a tight line, a tank, and an absorption field.
The absorption field is made up of lateral lines that can collect sludge over time.
Mullin Pumping uses a machine called a jetter. The jetter uses a special nozzle
and high pressure water to pull sludge out of the lateral lines. This service is
designed to rejuvenate clogged lateral lines but should not be performed on systems
that have reached or passed their life expectancy or systems with collapsed lateral
lines. Call our office to find out if jetting is right for your system.
Alternate Systems
Not every home or facility is located on land that has a good perc rate. Some systems
are designed to aid in the evaporation and absorption of treated waste water such
as the ETA and chamber systems. The ETA system uses a similar layout to the traditional
septic system but is designed to speed the rate of absorption and evaporation using
gravel (or other media), sand, and a permeable cloth separator in place of the native
soil. The chamber system uses a slotted pipe which sets in a two foot trench. The
chamber system does not use any media, such as gravel, but leaves a dirt floor for
additional absorption area. The chamber system can be used in different applications.
In one application the chambers are used for a one third reduction of the lateral
field when space is limited. In another application chambers are used with no reduction
in the lateral field leaving an oversized absorption area. Mullin Pumping can help
you decide which system will best suit your application. Call today!
