Know Where Your Septic System Is Located Before You Dig!
One of the most important things a homeowner can do is know the location of their septic tank, drain lines, pump tank, electrical lines, and other septic components before starting any outdoor project.
Recently, we were called to a brand-new home because sewage was surfacing in the yard. After inspecting the system, we discovered that during the installation of a new fence or irrigation system, the electrical wire supplying power to the septic pump had been cut. Without power, the pump couldn't move wastewater, causing sewage to back up and surface in the yard.
This is a great reminder that even a brand-new septic system can be damaged if its location isn't known.
Before installing:
โ๏ธ Fences
โ๏ธ Irrigation systems
โ๏ธ Landscaping
โ๏ธ Pools
โ๏ธ Decks
โ๏ธ Driveways
โ๏ธ Or anything that requires digging...
..make sure you know exactly where your septic system and all associated components are located.
A few minutes of planning can prevent expensive repairs, unnecessary headaches, and damage to your septic system.
If you're unsure where your septic tank or system components are located, give W&W Septic Tank Service a call at 770-445-6151. We'd much rather help you avoid a problem than fix one later!
