If you're just learning about septic systems, it's easy to conclude that the tank is where the action is. That's not quite true, though. Where the tank is necessary for storing and "sorting" waste, the leach or drain field is where most of the waste treatment takes place.
Grease traps and grease interceptors are generally different sizes. A grease trap is smaller, and usually located directly under a sink, while an interceptor is usually larger and located outside a building. Both, however, require regular servicing and cleaning by professionals to stay in good working condition.
Septic tanks come in a number of sizes to accommodate the number of bathrooms (and potential residents) in a home. The larger the septic tank, the larger the leach field will need to be.
The septic system is something a homeowner generally takes for granted until there is a problem. Industry experts recommend yearly inspections to ensure that the sludge level is appropriate and all moving parts are in working order.
