DESLUDGING
Wastewater flows from the house to the wastewater treatment system / septic tank.
The solids and scum form sludge in the tank that needs to be removed regularly—this is referred to as desludging.
The sludge must not build up too much or your system will stop working properly. The sludge, if not removed, can block the pipes in your percolation area.
If this happens it is very difficult to clean and may require replacement—an expensive option! It could also cause a risk to human health and the environment.

Great service from Bluestream! A pleasure to deal with Chris in the office, and great customer service from Mark Skinner who came out to empty our tank, explained step by step what he was doing! Would highly recommend them.
