Professional Septic Tank Installers in Fort Worth, TX

County health departments issue permits and inspect systems as they are installed. If your system has been installed in the last 20 years they may have a sketch of the layout of the system.

Conventional septic systems last an average of 20 years. A properly constructed and maintained system can last longer. A system that is not maintained can fail in 2 years or less. Regular maintenance protects the investment and avoids replacement costs. Maintenance also protects the health of your family, the community and the environment. Replacing a failing septic system can cost upwards of $8,000 depending on system size and type, which is very expensive when compared to the cost of having the system routenely inspected and pumped out.

Experts say septic systems should be pumped out every 2-3 years to insure proper operation. Sludge does not magically disappear by putting some additive in the system. After the bacteria do their work sludge is left and must be pumped out. The theory that "if it aint broke dont fix it" does not apply here.

Most aerobic systems spray on demand, which means that when you run enough water into the system, the water level rises, raising the float, which turns on the pump. Since everyone's water usage varies, the sprinklers won't necessarily spray at the same time.

No. Aerobic systems are basically like conventional systems, except they do a better job of treating the waste. Therefore, only clear water comes out of the system. Since the aerobic system does such a good job of separating the water from the waste, all of the waste remains in the tanks, requiring the tanks to be pumped more frequently.
