Copperopolis, California portable toilets services today? How to Keep Them Clean? As an employer, OSHA requires you to maintain and implement a cleaning and servicing schedule. Luckily, this isn’t as hard as it may sound. The easiest way to take care of construction site toilet maintenance is to hire your rental company for cleaning services. They will come out to your job site and clean the toilets based on your maintenance schedule. By the way, cleaning frequency is based on how much traffic the toilets see. We wouldn’t recommend anything less than once a week cleaning. During a scheduled maintenance trip, your rental company will pump the sewage from the toilets and refresh the blue liquid in the tank. They will clean and sanitize all surfaces including walls, restock toilet paper, refill hand sanitizer, and re-up on the restroom deodorizer.
Periodic Septic Tank Maintenance is also essential to keep your system running. This is especially critical on advanced systems, with pumps, float, control panels & filters. We perform a very thorough maintenance and inspection on your system. During routine maintenance we open the entire system. All components,( i.e.- pumps, floats, filters splice boxes, P/D laterals, valve boxes and more) are checked, cleaned and flushed. Flushing of the P/D laterals is a very important part of the maintenance. Lateral pipes can get full of sludge / solids and not allow the effluent into the drain field trenches. In addition, flushing can remove early root mats growing into the lines through the trench.
A typical septic system has four main components: a pipe from the home, a septic tank, a drainfield (also known as a leachfield), and the soil. The septic tank is a watertight box, typically buried beneath the ground, usually made of concrete, fiberglass, or polyethylene with an inlet and outlet pipe. Wastewater flows from the home to the septic tank through the sewer pipe. Sludge (solids) and scum (oil and grease) stay in the tank while the treated wastewater (known as effluent) is released.

The home’s sewer line drain pipe needs to slope 1/4 inch per foot downhill to the inlet side of the septic tank and the outlet pipe needs to flow downhill at least 1/8 inch per foot downhill to the leach field, where the septic tank effluent enters a manifold or distribution D box. Beyond the manifold or D box the leach field trenches (for an Infiltrator chamber system) are excavated perfectly level at a depth of at least seven inches below the grade of the manifold pipes or D box (for chambers). And covered with at least one foot of soil atop the trench or chamber. Trenches can be deeper, if the site dictates, but rarely more than three feet below finish grade.

Water from your garbage disposal, dishwasher, sinks, toilets, showers and washing machine all enter the septic system. Therefore, it is crucial to watch what you flush or pour down your drains. Never put any of the following items into your plumbing system: Cooking fats or other grease, Disposal wipes (even the ones labeled flushable), Disposable diapers, Coffee grounds, eggshells, or nutshells, Sanitary napkins, tampons or condoms, Paper towels or rags, Paints or chemicals. Another important factor in maintaining the life of your septic system is the amount of water entering the tank each day. Too much water entering the septic system on a daily basis will not allow enough time for solids to separate properly and for the soil in the drain field to absorb all of the water.
