Have you been given the opportunity to connect to a municipal sewer line at your home? While there are some advantages to owning a septic system, most people prefer the convenience of a city sewer service. While septic systems do not require a monthly fee, they do need ongoing maintenance and repairs that can add up to as much, if not more, than the costs of paying for sewer service. If you are considering switching, here are a few things to keep in mind.
No More Equipment Maintenance or Pumping
Owning a home with a septic system means you must perform regular maintenance on the equipment, plus have your tank pumped every few years. Once you convert to sewer, there is very little maintenance that must be done.
Get Your Yard Back
For years parts of your yard have been off-limits due to your drain field. By converting to sewer, you will eventually get the full use of your yard back once the drain field is no longer needed or necessary.
Increase Your Home’s Value
If selling your home is in your future, a conversion to sewer is a wise move. Many people will forego even looking at a home for sale if it is on a septic system.
If you make the decision to move forward with a septic to sewer conversion, you need a trusted sewer-septic company that can help you through this transition. There are permits and legalities that must be followed, so find a local company that has expertise in these conversions. A quality sewer company will handle many of the regulatory issues for you and help you transition smoothly from septic to sewer in your home.
