If you have a septic tank, it’s essential that you know where it’s located on your property. However, it isn’t always easy to find. Underground septic tank lids can be hard to find, especially if the tank was installed before you bought the property. Fortunately, our septic tank locating service can help. If you don’t understand why it’s important to know the exact location of your septic tank, consider the following reasons.
Routine Maintenance
You need to regularly have your septic tank pumped to avoid many problems, such as backups, environmental contamination and drain field failure. In the long run, this saves you money. But if you aren’t sure where your septic tank is located, you can’t reap the benefits of this preventive maintenance.
Landscaping and Construction Projects
Before you begin any project, you must know the exact location of your septic tank. You don’t want to damage the tank or ruin the leach field by digging or driving heavy machinery over it.
Even something as simple as planting trees or other greenery too close to the septic tank can cause problems. You could accidentally damage the septic tank pipes or disrupt the drain field’s ability to filter wastewater properly. Certain plants also have extensive root systems that can invade your septic tank system.
Troubleshooting
If you have a sewage backup or other system issue, in order to find the source of the problem, you have to know where your septic tank is. If you do, a professional can quickly and easily access the inspection points to do what’s necessary to prevent further damage. You want to fix the problem before it creates a health risk due to contaminated wastewater finding its way into your home.
Increasing Your Property Value
Knowing the location of your septic tank can increase your property value. It shows potential buyers that you have a well-maintained home and makes the property more attractive. This often results in a higher selling price. Having this information also speeds up the selling process and eliminates concerns during the inspection. You’ll even be able to get a more accurate appraisal of the property.
