The Septic Tank Mushroom Never Allow your Tank to be Cleaned through the Mushroom

The Septic Tank Mushroom The Mushroom vents the drain from the home to the tank only. It is NOT for cleaning the tank. Never have your tank cleaned through the mushroom. This removes only water leaving solids/sludge in the tank. If your tank has been “cleaned” by going through the mushroom, you need to have it cleaned properly through the lid to avoid damage to your soakage. Call o8oo POO TANK to have your tank serviced properly!
