A septic system is an independent, underground wastewater treatment structure, commonly used in areas without access to centralized sewer systems. It effectively processes and disposes of household wastewater, from toilets, showers, and sinks, through a combination of natural settling and anaerobic digestion within the septic tank, followed by effluent dispersal into a drain field.
Neglecting your septic system can lead to unpleasant and costly consequences, including sewage backups, foul odors, and potential environmental contamination. Regular maintenance, including pumping and inspections, is paramount to prevent system failures, extend its lifespan, and protect your property value and the local environment.
