We like things big in Sudbury. Between the Big Nickle, Lake Wanapitei, and our 5,000 KM of underground tunnels, we live in a large land of natural and human-made marvels, and there’s the extra-terrestrial one too: Sudbury Basin, the largest impact crater in North America. Of course, along with all this beauty comes some ecological and environmental challenges, but we’ve risen to the challenge of protecting our region time and again.
Among one of the important actions Sudburians can take to keep our corner of the world clean and healthy is regular septic pumping. This protects not only Sudbury’s water system but also your property. Keep reading to learn more about this and discover six more benefits of regular septic pumping.
Prevents System Damage and Failures
Regular emptying of your septic tank keeps it from overflowing, which, as anyone who’s ever had this occur in their home or business will tell you, you DON’T want this to happen. Overflowing can cause extensive damage and health hazards, such as exposure to pathogens like E. coli and parasites, chemical and gas contaminants, and many more.
Regular septic pumping greatly reduces the likelihood of this happening as it helps avoid system failures caused by overload and backup. Furthermore, pumping allows for early problem detection, as the technician can inspect the tank for signs of wear or damage. Lastly, regular pumping reduces strain on the pipes, pumps, and other components of your septic system.
Protects Your Property
The well-being of your septic tank affects your entire plumbing system. By pumping your tank every 3-5 years (or as otherwise recommended by your septic tank manufacturer or technician), you help keep your sinks, toilets, and pipes functioning well while also enhancing the efficiency of the drain field, which, once again, protects your property from potential smelly and sludgy problems.
Enhances System Efficiency
Cleaning your septic tank regularly keeps it operating at optimal levels. It prevents the build-up of solids that can lead to slow drainage and other efficiency issues, ensuring that your system runs smoothly.
Saves Money in the Long Run
Regular septic pumping is significantly less expensive than the cost of emergency repairs, property clean-up and restoration, or early tank replacement. By maintaining your septic tank, you extend the lifespan of your septic and plumbing systems. It’s truly a situation where “A nickel today is worth a dollar tomorrow.”
Increases Property Values
A clean and well-serviced septic system is a selling point that reassures potential home and other property buyers. It also goes far to prevent surprising finds during a pre-purchase home inspection.
Improves Water Quality
Lastly, a great benefit of routine septic pumping is how it improves water quality when bio-solids and wastewater are removed from your septic tank and treated effectively and correctly, your community’s water quality is protected from the contaminations mentioned above and others such as salmonellosis, gastroenteritis, and nitrate.
