Get matched with top septic tank pros in Miami Beach, FL

Q: What are the pros and cons of buying a house with a septic tank?

• <div><p>Saving money on property taxes and having direct control over your waste system are both pros when buying a house with a septic tank. However, it&rsquo;s easier on the house and the yard if a home can be hooked up to a municipal system, which is why septic tanks are best for homes where that isn&rsquo;t an option. Expensive repairs, potential odor issues, and regular maintenance are all cons of septic systems. </p></div>

Q: How long does a well pump and pressure tank last?

• <div><p>With regular servicing and general upkeep, both a well pump and pressure tank can last for years. The average lifespan of a well pump is around eight to 15 years. A well pressure tank can last from seven to 10 years. How long a well pump and pressure tank lasts also depends on a variety of factors such as type, size, material, and brand.</p></div>

Q: What does a leach line pipe look like?

• <div><p>Leach lines are commonly made of PVC pipe, and they&rsquo;re placed into trenches filled with gravel and sand, which help treat the wastewater. The PVC pipes are perforated, or drilled with small holes, so the wastewater can drain out of the pipes and into the surrounding material, which eventually leads to the aquifer.</p></div>

Q: Can I check my own septic tank?

• <div><p>You can check your own septic tank, but take precautions. Locate the access lid, usually buried a few inches underground, and remove it carefully. Look for the sludge and scum levels, and if they&rsquo;re high, that means pumping may be necessary. Check for odors, slow drains, or pooling water around the drain field, which could indicate issues. Never enter the tank, as toxic gases can be fatal. All of that being said, a professional inspection is safer and more thorough.</p></div>

Q: Can you park on top of a septic field?

• <div><p>You should never park or drive on top of a septic field. Vehicles can weigh upwards of two tons, and this weight can put a lot of pressure on the leach lines in the drain field. Too much pressure on your leach lines may cause them to warp, crack, or completely burst. This is an expensive and very avoidable problem.</p></div>

Called them to come run the snake. Ended up costing quite a bit more than I expected because the problem turned out to be a full septic tank. You have to pay for travel time which is annoying.
