A septic tank in a Columbus home acts as a primary treatment for wastewater. It receives all household sewage, where solids settle to the bottom as sludge and lighter materials float to the top as scum. Bacteria within the tank help to break down some of these solids. The partially treated liquid then flows out to a drain field for further purification. We can explain the process for your specific setup.
