What Are the Advantage of Converting Septic to Sewer?

If you own a home with a septic system, you know the ongoing maintenance required to keep your system functioning. As cities expand, often the opportunity arises for homes to convert to city sewer that were not able to in the past. If sewer lines have been added to your neighborhood, you may be wondering if it is worth the investment to convert your existing septic system to a sewer system. Here are some of the advantages of making that investment in your home.

  • Low maintenance. Unlike a septic system, hooking into a sewer system requires very little ongoing maintenance. You will no longer need to have your septic tank pumped, cleaned and inspected. Beyond keeping your sewer lines intact and free of clogs, sewer systems take very little maintenance from homeowners.
  • More yard space. Removing your septic system means you will eventually get the area dedicated to your drain field back. Drain fields must be protected, which means that area of your property is off limits. Once it is no longer needed, you can build, plant or do whatever you want with that part of your yard.
  • Add value to your home. If you plan to sell your home, converting to a sewer system is a wise option. A home with a sewer hookup is more valuable than one with a septic system that must be maintained. Many potential home buyers prefer not to be saddled with ongoing septic maintenance.

If you think septic to sewer conversion may be right for your home, call your local sewer-septic company. They can inspect your current system and give you a quote on how much the conversion will cost. It may be less than you think.
