With so many responsibilities as a homeowner, you might not think about your septic system too often, but taking care of it is critical. With a septic maintenance agreement, you can be confident that your septic system is in good working order and avoid serious problems and expensive repair bills.
What Is a Septic Maintenance Agreement?
A septic maintenance agreement is a contract between you and a local service provider that specializes in maintaining and repairing septic systems. You will agree on a maintenance schedule that’s appropriate for the type of septic system you have and your family’s needs.
A technician will visit your home regularly to inspect the septic tank and other vital components for any signs of damage. The technician will make repairs or replace parts as needed.
Why Should You Sign a Septic Maintenance Agreement?
A damaged or leaking septic system can put your family’s health in jeopardy, contaminate the soil and groundwater, and impact people, animals, and plants in the surrounding area. The cost to clean up a sewage leak and repair or replace a damaged septic system can be staggering.
When a problem is caught in its early stages, solving it is generally straightforward and inexpensive. By taking a proactive approach and having your septic system serviced regularly, you’ll be able to:
- deal with issues before they escalate
- prevent leaks
- protect the environment
- safeguard the health of your family and those around you
- avoid costly repair bills
- have peace of mind
Some septic systems don’t send waste to a treatment facility. Instead, they treat it on-site and release treated wastewater into the environment. Those types of septic systems are subject to stringent testing and reporting requirements. If you have such a system, it’s particularly important to have a septic maintenance agreement. A team of knowledgeable professionals can make sure that your septic system complies with all state and local regulations.
