  • Septic Tank Care and Common Issues in Polk County

Many homes in Polk County rely on septic systems for wastewater management. Without proper maintenance, septic tanks can become clogged or overflow, causing unpleasant odors and costly repairs. At Redemption Plumbing Services, we specialize in septic tank services that keep your system efficient, safe, and environmentally responsible.

Understanding Your Septic System

A septic system treats wastewater from your home through:

  1. A septic tank that separates solids and liquids.
  2. A drain field where filtered water returns safely to the soil.

When neglected, solid buildup can block the drainage area and cause backups inside your home.

Common Septic Tank Problems in Polk County

Our plumbers frequently encounter:

  • Tree root intrusion
  • Grease accumulation
  • Clogged inlet/outlet pipes
  • Overflow during heavy rain

Polk’s clay-heavy soil makes regular inspection even more important, as it slows drainage and increases saturation risk.

Essential Septic Tank Maintenance Tips

  1. Pump every 3–5 years to remove sludge.
  2. Avoid flushing wipes or grease—they cause buildup.
  3. Inspect annually to detect leaks or cracks.
  4. Limit water use to prevent hydraulic overload.
