There are a number of advantages to regular septic system pumping. It protects your lawn and home, protects your wallet, prevents unpleasant odors, and allows you to catch problems early. A good septic maintenance company will make sure that your septic tank is working properly, so you don’t have to worry about problems with your tank and drain field down the line.
Prevents Unpleasant Odors
The putrid smell of sewage is enough to make anyone gag. Imagine what it’s like to have that smell permeate every inch of your home. That’s what could happen if you have a sewage backup. Sewage water can flow back into your home’s pipes, sending dirty water bubbling up through your showers, toilets, and sinks.
When your septic tank is damaged, you can begin to smell sewage in or even around the outside of your home. Regular septic tank maintenance can prevent all of this by preventing clogs.
Protects Your Lawn
In addition to sewage water flowing back into your home, sometimes the water can begin to pool on your lawn. This can also cause unpleasant smells, but it can also damage your yard and contribute to health problems by introducing salmonella, E. Coli, and cholera into your environment.
Routine septic maintenance prevents water from damaging your drain field and causing blockages in your tank, both of which can cause flooding and backups in your home. Routine maintenance will prevent all of these things and keep you from spending money on repairs to your tank, your home, and lawn, which brings us to our next point.
Protects Your Wallet
Would you rather pay upwards to $10,000 to repair your septic tank, or would you rather only dish out a few hundred dollars for maintenance? Many would say the latter. If you have your septic tank pumped and inspected often, you can prevent a number of problems that require immediate attention and breaking your bank.
Take care of your tank, and you can save your wallet, and you can use the money otherwise spent on repairs for other important things.
You Can Catch Problems Early
Much like a regular doctor’s checkup, septic tank maintenance can help you detect septic problems early on. This allows your septic tank professional to help you devise a plan to fix the issue, and it prevents problems from worsening over time. The longer you wait to fix a problem, the worse the damage can be, and the more costly repairs will become.
