Every day someone in the Orlando area is spends thousands of dollars for replacing or repairing their septic system, not to mention the expensive of cleaning their home from the mess caused by the septic back-up. The fact is, if they had taken care of their septic system with routine maintenance and regular pumping they could have saved thousands of dollars!
What’s On Your Home’s Check List?
Septic systems don’t always make it to the top of the checklist list, until they back up or create unpleasant odors inside or outside your home. Septic tanks need to be pumped out every 3 to 5 years, depending on how many people are living in the home, the size of the tank, and how much water is going into the tank.
The largest percentage of water going into the septic system is from toilets. Older tanks use 3 to 5 gallons every flush, new tanks only use 1.5 gallons. Regular pumping is a small investment that can save thousands of dollars in the long run.
Having a septic system is also a huge responsibility, the Environmental Protection Agency has strict laws concerning them. An inefficient system can cause dangerous consequences such as groundwater pollution and toxic gasses.
Septic system inspections look at the drain field, valves, water inlet and outlets, as well the overall condition of the tank. This catches small issues before they become expensive repairs or even replacement.
