Key Value For Your Property

When a property is not connected to a public sewer system, a private on-site wastewater sewage system, or  septic system, is used to collect, treat, and disperse wastewater from the home. The system typically consists of a series of tanks, or chambers, that separate solids from liquids. The partially treated liquid effluent then flows to a drainfield where natural filtration processes complete the treatment.  

Some homes use an aerobic treatment system, which uses an aerator pump to introduce air into the septic tank, allowing oxygen loving bacteria to break down organic matter more efficiently than a standard anaerobic system. For aerobic systems, the treated effluent is dispersed through sprinkler heads or drip lines instead of natural filtration.  Proper maintenance of these systems involves regular cleaning, inspection of the aerator pump, and ensuring chlorine tablets or other disinfecting agents are present.

If wastewater is not properly treated or drainage is obstructed, it can result in backups inside the home or complete failure of the drainfield, leading to repairs that can be quite costly

To keep any system functioning properly, regular maintenance is essential. Most systems should be pumped every 3-5 years, depending on household size, water usage, and system design. A septic system inspection helps determine whether the system is operating correctly, if repairs are necessary, or if pumping is due. Regular inspections can extend the life of the system and prevent unexpected and costly failures.
