As a homeowner, you’re responsible for your plumbing in Kennett Square. For that reason, it’s extremely important for you to maintain your system—because when it breaks, it’s only hurting your pocket. You can minimize these expenses if you have annual services performed on your septic system.
Your Kennett Square plumbing is made up of a watertight, concrete/fiber glass septic tank container that is buried in the ground. This tank stores wastewater until the solids settle out and partially decompose. There are compartments in the septic tank that prevent toxic materials from leaving the tank and seeping into the drainfield.
Your Kennett Square plumbing system will also have a drainfield somewhere. The purpose of the drainfield is for the wastewater to exit the septic tank in order to be treated by the soil. If your sewage isn’t being treated properly, and the water being dispersed into the ground is contaminated, it can be a serious hazard.
