About the septic or sewer The
roof vent and yard based septic vent is a necessary part
of your plumbing system. The
job of the plumbing vent is to enable the pressure in your
drain system to equalize. When water and waste flows down
your drains, pressure in your plumbing drains increases as
the air in the system is displaced by water and waste. Without
the plumbing vents, the drains would gurgle up into your
sinks, tubs and toilets. The
plumbing roof vent and yard based septic vent is also a place
where septic gases and sewer gases exit the system safely.
These gases are a natural byproduct of the bacteria that
break down the waste in either your septic system or sewer
line. Because of this naturally occurring cycle, the septic
and sewer gases have a foul odor. Normally,
the gases are carried up and away from the system’s vent
pipes. However, under certain conditions, these Hydrogen
Sulfide (also known as H2S) and Methane gases might be pulled
down into your yard around your home or place of business. There
is also a new style septic system design called a pressure
dose septic system. This style septic system is becoming
more popular as it utilizes both a solids and a liquid septic tanks. By separating the liquid
from the solids, it allows for a cleaner liquid to be pumped
up into the leeching field allowing the leeching field to
be significantly smaller than what would be necessary in
a standard septic system. For safety reasons, this style
septic system requires that the liquid tank be vented to
purge the Hydrogen Sulfide and Methane gases away from the
electronic pump found in the septic tank. With pressure dose
style septic systems, the septic gases are purged directly
to the yard through a vent causing unpleasant odors, even
under the best of conditions. This septic vent is typically
located somewhere in the yard near the liquid tank. In certain situations the Hydrogen Sulfide that
would normally exit your roof vent and be carried up and
away, will actually be pulled down into your yard creating
not only an annoying problem, but also an unhealthy living
environment. (For health information concerning Hydrogen
Sulfide see The Toxicology of Hydrogen Sulfide.) Different
climate conditions, such as temperature variances and change
in wind direction, can direct the gases back toward your
living area. This problem can be magnified by the location
of your home as well. If your home is located against a hill
or near objects taller than your roof vent, negative pressures
can naturally develop pulling the septic gas or sewer gas
down from your roof vent and into your yard or place of business. In
the case of sewer lines, since they don’t utilize plumbing
traps, your home or building’s roof vent can be an exit source
for not only the sewer gases created within your structure
but for all the homes and structures on your main sewer line. While
you can’t stop the creation of septic and sewer gases, you
can eliminate the odor that is caused as they exit the roof
or septic vent by installing a Wolverine Brand Ò Activated Carbon Vent Filter on top of your sewer or septic
vent pipe.
