About one in five U.S. homes relies on septic systems, which collect and treat wastewater on-site rather than connecting to municipal sewer systems. Benefits of septic systems include cost efficiency, as homeowners avoid monthly sewer fees, and self-maintenance, as they can last for decades with proper care. They are environmentally friendly; leaks affect only the localized area, unlike municipal systems, where issues can cause widespread contamination. Properties with septic systems are often found on larger lots, providing potential space advantages for homeowners.
Homes with septic systems don't require a connection to the city sewer system, leading to noticeable savings on monthly sewer fees, which can accumulate over time.
With proper care, a septic system can last for decades. Conserving water and careful waste disposal not only protect the septic system but also the environment.
In cases of blockages, a septic tank uniquely indicates the origin of waste, minimizing the risk of contamination from broader municipal systems.
Septic systems are designed to be environmentally friendly. Local leaks only affect the immediate property instead of spreading damage like municipal leaks.
