Have you been notified that you can now tie into your local sewer system in your town or county? If you have been wondering whether it is worth the cost or effort to change over to the sewer system, you need to consider the benefits. While there is an initial investment, these four reasons may be enough to help you decide whether the time is right to convert from septic to sewer for your home or business.
- No more pumping and septic inspections/repairs. Septic systems require regular maintenance, pumping and repairs, much more than the average sewer system. Most working parts of the sewer system will be maintained by the utility company.
- Higher home/business value. Your home or business will be worth more with a sewer system than a septic. Many potential homebuyers will steer away from homes with a septic system due to the higher maintenance needs and possible high cost of septic repairs.
- Less expensive than a septic replacement. In most cases, converting from a septic to sewer is less expensive than replacing your septic system. If you have an older system, it is just a matter of time before some or all of your septic system will need to be replaced.
- Easier to use. Septic systems have quirks and limitations that sewer systems do not. Sewer systems can handle larger amounts of waste and certain items that septic systems cannot.
If you think you are ready to make the conversion to sewer, talk to your local septic/sewer service provider that is certified to make the conversion in your region and state. Once you make the switch, you will be glad you did!
