Septic system maintenance is the unsung hero in preventing catastrophic emergencies. At ACE, we always recommend that our valued customers and clients prioritize septic system maintenance, as it is the best way to preserve a valuable commodity in your home.
We receive a lot of frequently asked questions about proactive septic system maintenance, including:
1. How often should I maintain or inspect my septic system?
According to the EPA, a septic system should be inspected at least every three years. In addition to preventing a disaster that could disrupt your day-to-day, you will experience cost savings by not having to pay for expensive repairs. In addition to inspections, the EPA recommends that homeowners pump their tanks every 3-5 years. However, certain variables like how many people live in the home and the size of the system can dictate the frequency of needing the system pumped. A professional septic system company like ACE can give you a unique assessment of your system.
2. What’s the worst that can happen if I don’t repair a failed septic tank?
In addition to septic water leaking into your property, and emitting a less-than-ideal odor, a failed septic system can lower the value of your property. As the homeowner, you are responsible for the septic system, meaning you’re stuck with the bill even if you’re planning to move. There are many instances of former homeowners being sued over a failed, or misinformed septic inspection.
3. Is it possible for the septic tank to be improperly installed?
Yes! Good soil is the starting point for a properly functioning drain field. However, some system designers underestimate or overestimate the quality of the soil, and how it reacts once wastewater is applied. An inspection can help bring these issues to light, and allow you to make an informed decision before you find yourself in a septic disaster.
