Over the years you have learned to manage your septic system. You have a scheduled septic maintenance plan to keep it serviced and know what to avoid putting down your drains to keep it working great. But what if you could forego the ongoing maintenance needed for septic systems and switch to city sewer? If sewer conversion is an option where you live, you probably have given it some consideration. But is it worth the financial investment to convert? Here are some points to consider.
– Yearly maintenance. Inspecting, maintaining and pumping your septic system costs money. It also takes time. If you are busy and would prefer to not to need to worry about your septic system, converting to sewer may be a worthwhile move.
– Home value. If you are planning on selling your home, converting to sewer can help improve your home’s value and make it a more desirable property. Many potential home buyers are unwilling to purchase a home on a septic due to the ongoing maintenance.
– Conversion costs. Some septic to sewer conversions are simple, making them more affordable. However, others are more costly due to the distance between the home and the sewer system or other hindrances on the property. Before you make any decisions on whether to convert or not, have an on-site inspection and quote performed by your local septic-sewer company that performs conversions. This will give you an accurate cost and expectation of what converting your home to sewer will entail.
For most homeowners, converting to sewer can have many benefits. Talk to your local sewer contractor to investigate your options.
