Here’s something you never want yourself, nor anyone for that matter, have to experience: A septic tank cleaning gone wrong. If you don’t hire a professional with extensive experience in the field, you may just bear witness to a not so pretty chain of events. That is, if you do hire the right people, you won’t ever have to experience any such thing. At Jones Septic, we have the skills to do the grade A top notch septic pumping Wappinger NY homeowners deserve. And just to highlight the importance of getting the craft down pat, here’s all the stuff that could go wrong if you go with someone else.
Making unrealistic estimates: In case you have your doubts on the expert’s recommendation on how frequently to clean your tank, make sure they factor in the age as well, in addition to how much it’s used and how large it is. It’s reasonable to be skeptical with people you haven’t worked with before, as they’re estimate determines how much money you will be spending, not them. So to the uninformed, it may seem reasonable to suggest getting a cleaning after each time you have visitors, which is 100% untrue. If you choose Jones Septic, you’ll have no such problem.
Poorly managing money: No one wants to throw unnecessary money down the drain, figuratively or literally. One common mistake made by septic system owners is assuming a tank needs to be cleaned again, simply because it’s full. This is a farce. The tank will pretty much always be full, even shortly after getting it cleaned. The purpose of a septic system is to absorb, filter and clean the water, not dispose of it immediately. However, equally if not more importantly, not pumping your tank enough can have more severe, and more expensive consequences.
Consequence of neglect: If you fail to pump your tank sufficiently, you will cause a drain field failure. This gets increasingly pricey with time. The key is to find that balance.
Consequence of excessive cleaning: Paying for a cleaning every so often is not terribly expensive. But compulsively cleaning your tank is unnecessary and can become expensive over time. A good window of time to shoot for is every 2 or so years between cleanings, depending on the size of the tank and frequency it’s used. Speak to an expert, as the circumstances can vary per system.
That’s just the beginning. There’s plenty that can go wrong if you hire the wrong people to manage your septic system. That said, with the proper maintenance, it can be a considerably reasonable plumbing system for your home. It just takes a small bit of foresight and a will to work with the right people to make sure everything stays up and running how it should.
