Routinely getting your septic system maintained saves money since you’d catch your septic system before it fails. Septic systems are expensive to repair and replace and a failed septic system or one in disrepair will lower your property value and could become a liability. Maintaining your septic system prevents the spread of infection and disease and protects water resources. A proper working septic system removes most of these pollutants. About ¼ of US homes have septic systems so more than 4 billion gallons of wastewater per day is dispersed below ground level. Ground water can be contaminated if septic systems are not adequately treated. This would pose a major threat to drinking water and human help if drinking water wells are contaminated.
