The Purpose of a Septic Tank
One of the most efficient ways of eliminating waste through the natural filtering process of the soil is through septic tanks. This helps in filtering the wastewater and dispenses water for recycling. This is a simple and affordable solution to manage waste within a property. You can decide on the size of the septic tank depending on the number of people living in your house. Moose Creek Precast Inc. provides quality and durable septic tanks in different sizes.

Septic Tanks
A septic tank is the central part of your septic system, responsible for storage and filtration. It has two sections, one section being 2/3rd of the tank and the other being 1/3rd of the tank. The first section has a top layer, a liquid layer, and a sediment layer. Both units have billions of natural bacteria for the treatment of household waste. They help in breaking down solids and sludge. When the wastewater leaves the septic tank and enters the leaching field, a different type of bacteria that requires oxygen filtrates and decomposes the waste particles.
The Advantages of Concrete Septic Tanks
Here are the reasons why our concrete septic tanks are the right choice:
- Water-tightness: Concrete is watertight by nature, while other materials such as plastic are subjected to treatments before holding water. This natural water-tightness will minimize the risks of leakages.
- High effluent capacity: The effluent and wastewater in your tank, known as sludge, will decompose with time and settle to the bottom. You will have to pump your tank once it reaches its 2/3 capacity of solids or every 3-5 years.
- Low-risk installation: Plastic septic tanks aren't as sturdy as concrete, so there is a greater chance of damage or deformation in the transportation and installation process.
- Durability: Concrete septic tanks are known to last for years, and are strong durable and sustainable.

Holding Tank
Holding tanks are generally used in areas such as very small lots, environmentally sensitive locations, and places with high water tables where a septic system cannot be used. It is the only storage for household waste until it is pumped out. An audible and visual alarm has to be installed to indicate the amount of waste in the tank.
