1. Septic Problems Are More Than a Nuisance

Septic cleaning gets rid of all the waste build-up. No matter how careful you're with your septic, there'll be grease and other organic matter buildup. While liquid waste will move out of the tank into a leach field, solids can be a problem. Over time, the solids will build up and clog leach field pipes and other pipes.

Eventually, your septic will back up as well. A sewage backup isn't only an inconvenience but also a major health threat. You can reduce the risk of a sewage backup by having regularly scheduled septic tank cleaning to keep your family safe.

2. The Cost Will Increase With Time

Septic tank repair and replacement are expensive. You can reduce the risk of costly repairs by taking care of your septic tank on a regular basis. During a septic cleaning, the operator will inspect your system to see if there are any minor repairs that need to be made.

Septic maintenance can extend the life of your system and protect against failure. Spending money now will save you money in the long run. The longer you wait to have the cleaning done the more likely you'll run into problems that'll cost more down the road.

3. Leach Field Failure

Your septic tank is only a part of your septic system. The tank has an inlet pipe and then several outlet pipes that run underground into an area of your property. These outlet pipes run into what's called the leach field. This is where all the liquid waste is “leached." Keeping your septic tank maintained with regular professional cleaning service will protect your leach field from becoming oversaturated.

A failing leach field is easy to spot, too. The area usually remains wet and may even have puddles of wastewater. Usually, you can smell the problem before you see it.

Don't wait to have your septic cleaned, as you'll only pay more in the long run. Call Southern Septic Co. today to partner with experts who will help you take care of your septic system properly!
