If you are like most property owners here in Central Florida, you may not think about your septic system or even what goes down the drains. But it is important to understand that preventative maintenance for your septic system can save you a lot of money and prevent the stress and headache when something goes wrong.
Florida Health explains why it is important to maintain your septic system
Caring for your system can help you avoid the nightmare of a failing system. Maintaining your septic system will save you money, help keep you and your family healthy and protect the environment.
Having your system inspected and pumped regularly is a bargain when you consider that repairs and replacement costs can be thousands of dollars.
Have your septic tank inspected and pumped regularly every 3 to 5 years by a state-licensed septage disposal service. Excess solids in your septic tank or a clogged or damaged filter can cause your system to fail.
Untreated sewage contains disease-causing germs and can smell bad. A failing septic system can cause sewage to back up into your house or onto your yard. It also may allow untreated sewage to seep into drinking water wells and water bodies used for drinking and recreation.
Untreated sewage from failing septic systems may pollute shellfish beds and recreational areas, such as lakes and rivers.
Keeping accurate records on your septic system maintenance is also important. We have provided an easy way to keep Septic System and Maintenance Records.
Your septic system works 365 days a year, 24 hours a day. All that goes down the drain and toilet ends up in the septic tank, this includes everything from the garbage disposal, cooking grease, water from the washing machine and showers, and all the chemicals from cleaning supplies.
