Comments Off on Four Reasons to Convert Your Septic to Sewer

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.

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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!

Considering Converting From Septic To Sewer?

Comments Off on Considering Converting From Septic To Sewer?

If you own a home with a septic system, it was most likely installed before a municipal sewer system was available in your neighborhood. Most people would prefer to use a sewer system, shifting the responsibility and potentially high costs to their local municipality, but it’s not always an option. However, as towns grow, so does the reach of the sewer system, giving many people with septic systems the option to convert their septic to the local sewer.

Septic To Sewer Conversion Process

Switching your home’s septic to sewer has many benefits, from long term savings to less maintenance. The biggest hurdle that most homeowners face with septic to sewer conversions is the initial cost to convert. There will be an investment to tie your home into the sewer line, so many people will wait until their septic system is older or in need of repair before they make the switch. Once you decide to convert, you will need to find a reliable sewer service professional who can install your new sewer lines, as this it not a do-it-yourself project. Questions to ask contractors before you hire them include:

  • How long the process will take?
  • What permits will be needed to begin the process?
  • Will you need a pump tank for your sewer line?
  • What is the total cost to install the new line and remove the old septic tank?

You want a contractor who is familiar with all the local municipality rules and regulations regarding sewer conversions. Your new sewer line will need to be inspected and approved before you can be hooked into the municipal system, on top of obtaining the proper permits to begin digging. An experienced sewer line installer should know exactly what needs to be done to get your new sewer line approved and connected as quickly as possible.
