There has been a lot of talk about septic systems and the water quality problems we are experiencing in Central Florida. Our rivers, lakes, and beaches continue to have green algae and raw sewage problems. With about 1.6 million or one-third of homes in Florida with septic tanks, it is important that everyone does their part to protect our natural water resources.
Septic tanks that are poorly maintained can end up leaking wastewater into the ground. Not only contaminating the ground water supply, but increasing the soil’s nitrogen levels.
What can you do to help?
If you own a home or business with a septic system or some type of waste management system, make sure the tank is pumped every 3 to 5 years and have it inspected annually.
If you experience any problems, such as slow drains, foul odor in your home, raw sewage backing up through the drain, or puddling of wastewater near the drainfield, contact the Orlando Septic Services.
Not sure when the last time your septic tank was pumped out?
You’re not alone. The septic system isn’t something you think about everyday. Better safe than sorry. If it has been a while since your septic system has had the attention it needs, it is time for an inspection.
Many septic system problems can happen slowly, building up over time, that’s when repair costs can really add up. Septic system inspections look at the drain field, valves, water inlet and outlets, as well the overall condition of the tank. This can identify small issues before they become expensive repairs or even replacement.
If you’re a homeowner with a septic system, it is important to do your part and eliminate the source of ground water contamination.
Save Money
The small price of pumping the tank can avoid the thousands of dollars on repairs, many of which could have been prevented. If you’re experiencing issues with your septic system, waiting usually makes the problems worse. Regular maintenance and inspections can prevent failures and save you a ton of money in replacement and repairs.
