In America, many people still own properties that aren’t connected to a municipal sewer system and work with a septic tank. Most of these are properties in rural areas but, as infrastructural development and technology continue to reach more and more places every day, even recently urbanized areas still run on septic tanks.
In some cases, a single septic tank serves an entire community of various houses and, in others, each house has its own septic tank. However, in the most affluent areas, in which there are massive properties, a single septic tank might not be enough. As your Poughkeepsie NY septic tank repairs experts, here at Jones Septic, we’re keen on sharing the best practices when it comes to septic system management and maintenance to ensure your safety and your family’s.
Many big houses in affluent rural or remote areas that haven’t been reached by a municipal sewer system still use septic tanks. Since these massive properties usually host several people at once, often times they are made of a main house for the owners, and a guest house or pool house for their guests. But what does this mean for your septic system?
Well, the more people in your property, the more water you’ll be consuming. Furthermore, if your property has a pool, for example, your water consumption would increase even more. If you combine the water consumption of your main house with that of your guest house, plus your pool, the chances of getting septic emergencies are much higher. If you only have one septic system serving all of the facilities in your property, a septic emergency would be catastrophic.
In this case, a backed up system would affect every bathroom, kitchen and pool in your property, regardless of where the problem started. If you want to avoid this problem and you want to make sure there’s a safe place, in case one of your septic systems fails, it is highly recommended that your second house has an independent septic system. This will not only take off pressure of your main septic system but it will also provide you with a solid plan B in case of an emergency.
Remember to also provide proper care and maintenance to your septic system.
