Importance of Septic Services

Septic systems are designed to recycle the wastewater produced in your property back to the environment. The septic tank forms a critical aspect of the sewage system. Your septic tank should be properly installed, regularly cleaned and maintained for it to function at its optimal level. If not, it can pose a considerable risk to your health, the environment, and your property.

It eliminates the risk of waking up to a foul and costly septic system failure.

It is important because it maintains and protects your community, neighbourhood, and environment.

At High Country Vac Services, we ensure that your septic is functioning well and efficiently by offering professional septic cleaning in Okotoks. If your septic system is not pumped, cleaned and maintained properly, it can cause various issues:

 The most obvious issue is the inconvenience of backed-up plumbing. An unpleasant, smelly plumbing problem can also become an additional expense.

 Improper care of your septic system can cause them to fail, which in turn can contribute to harmful wastewater going into wells, groundwater, and local habitats.

 It can pose a health risk for people, livestock, and wildlife and become a severe issue. Local lakes, rivers, or other recreational areas are also polluted and rendered unusable and unsafe.

 Apart from posing a health threat, a failing septic system is expensive and decreases property value.

How Often Does a Septic System Need to Be Serviced and Why?

We recommend you service your septic tank every one or two years. However, the frequency can vary depending on several factors like the septic tank's size and the number of people using the facility. Regularly maintaining your tank will save you a lot of money and protect your property's value. The maintenance of your septic tank won't be a hassle if you:

• Regularly inspect your septic tank system and pump it frequently.
  
  
• Use your household water efficiently as it improves its operation.
  
  
• Properly dispose-off your waste as it can choke your septic tank pipes.
  
  
• Maintain your drain field as it is an important part of your septic tanks.

Can You Build on Top of an Old Septic Tank?

There have been and are instances where homeowners accidentally or deliberately build over their septic tank systems. When you do so, you are adding to your expenses of finding and servicing the system. It is not recommended to build over any portion of your septic tank system.

When you build over your old septic tank – for instance, a wooden deck, pool patio, or driveway – you cannot locate it when it's time for inspection or pumping out your septic tanks. Even when you have to build over your old septic tank systems, you can do so by adding temporary structures, removable boards or trap doors under your decks to the septic tank lid. You must build and plan by keeping in mind the future maintenance of your septic tank systems.
