Why do I need to empty my septic tank?

Septic tanks perform two jobs. One is to release wastewater back into the ground, and the other is to hold onto the solid waste that flows into it over the course of a year or so. This waste needs to be manually emptied by a company like Septic Tank Services Ltd. The solid waste comprises of two levels. The topmost is materials like oil, fat, and grease from the kitchen. This floats to the surface and forms a crust. The tank holds this crust securely. The second layer is toilet waste, which sinks to the bottom of the tank. Over time, more and more waste will collect in the tank and if nothing is done, it will fill up and not function correctly anymore.
