If you live in the countryside, an unincorporated area, or small towns in Georgia, you probably have a septic tank on or near your property. Homeowners with septic tanks would rather forget about rather than maintain them. However, there is great risk in not inspecting or maintaining your tank. Here are some reasons using the best septic system inspection Cumming Georgia offers will help you avoid trouble.
Sludge Levels
Over time, sludge levels increase at the bottom of your septic tank. Sludge accumulates as bacteria break down organic material and as inorganic solids fall to the bottom. Tanks are designed to store these solids up to a certain point. Once this level is exceeded, sludge and scum could clog your system beyond repair. Regular inspections help determine if your tank is full and ready for draining — before it’s too late.
Replacement Costs
The cost of replacing a septic system is typically in the tens of thousands of dollars. During this process, a crew cleans the bad tank, digs it and your remaining septic system out, and replaces everything. Regular yearly inspections and cleaning can be done for just a few hundred dollars, depending on the size and layout of your system. Scheduled maintenance is much better than an unscheduled tear-out.
