Do you have a home with a septic system that could be converted to city sewer? Many neighborhoods that once were septic-only residences now have access to city sewer, especially if new housing developments have been added in the area. While converting to a sewer system from septic may have a substantial initial cost, it may be worth the investment for some home owners. Here are a few benefits that may make it worth your while:
- Less maintenance. Septic systems do require periodic maintenance that can be annoying and time consuming for homeowners. Annual service, equipment repairs, pumping and other maintenance take time and money to keep up.
- Lower costs. While you may pay a monthly fee for sewer service, it is usually much less expensive in the long run. A major septic issue or failure could cost as much as a conversion.
- Sewer systems are much simpler to use than a septic system and have less problems. Sewer systems tend to be more forgiving when it comes to what goes down your drains since the waste is treated at a large, professional facility.
- Added value to your home. If you will be selling your home in the future, converting to a sewer from a septic system can bolster the price of your home and make it more appealing to potential buyers. A home on a sewer system will usually sell for more than a comparable home in the same area on a septic system.
If you have been considering converting to a sewer system, talk to your local sewer service company about the advantages and pricing in your area. It may be worth the investment into your home.
