For the most part, homeowners do not retain the choice of whether their plumbing system is that of sewers or septic tanks. More than anything, it depends on the design of the neighborhood. Some have sewer systems, which have their advantages in that the government pays for their maintenance and the waste is centralized in a facility away from residents’ homes, thus avoiding the possibility of overflowing or flooding. But other neighborhoods use septic systems, in which case the homeowners are responsible for their own plumbing and maintenance. For those who prefer to retain the utmost independence of their personal things, the septic system fits the bill perfectly. If you’re part of the latter, then see below for all the reasons why you could benefit from a freshly new Poughkeepsie NY septic tank installation.
- A well designed, properly installed, professionally maintained system is practically invincible. You may not have the option of leaving the burden of plumbing maintenance to the government, but that’s not to say a flooded septic tank is inevitable. On the contrary, just so long as you have it installed and pumped by the right people, your septic system will be able to withstand the stormiest of storms with no problems whatsoever. Tip: The trick to ensuring the installation process is done correctly is not just in the equipment, but also in the soil used to bury it. Suitable, unsaturated soil is crucial to the stability and durability of your septic system.
- Neglecting to manage your wastewater treatment not only affects you, but also your neighbors’ property and the environment as a whole. Your property will begin to smell, which is not only unpleasant, but also unhealthy. Eventually it will leak into your neighbor’s’ property, which can cause tensions that will only rise with time. And the more you wait to fix it, the more expensive the job will become. Wait long enough and it will have an impact on public health, which can lead to lawsuits. Finally, you can damage the surrounding ecosystem, as eventually your system will contaminate the air, soil and groundwater, which animals such as birds and insects heavily rely on. They cannot survive in a contaminated environment such as this.
- You could spread disease, not only within your neighborhood but to neighboring areas or worse. With unchecked sewage comes an influx of flies and mosquitoes. Albeit, the United States has no experienced an epidemic in recent memory like those of other countries, mosquitoes are nonetheless not something you want to attract to your home in high numbers. If nothing else, they are a major nuisance on everyone involved. And aside from mosquitoes, a contaminated water system can lead to the spreading of Hepatitis B and dysentery.
