Septic Solutions: An Introduction

I recently bought a house with a septic tank for the very first time. I thought I was prepared, but I really had no idea what I was getting into. Shortly after we moved in, the septic tank backed up. I had to call for emergency septic services to have it pumped and taken care of. That's when I learned that I had overlooked some of the signs that the tank needed to be emptied. I created this site to share my experience and the tips that I learned along the way. My goal is to help others avoid the same septic problems that I have dealt with.

3 Reasons To Have A Septic Tank Cleaned Right After You Move In

by Camila Pena

You have found your picture-perfect home where you fully intend to spend many of the oncoming years and raise your family. Taking ownership of a new property means taking ownership of all of those inner-working components like the septic tank and septic system. Not long after you get your family moved into the house, it is not a bad idea to call up a residential septic system cleaning company to have your tank cleaned. Here is a look at why that is the case. 

You never know how the old homeowner kept up with septic cleaning. 

If you were responsible as a prospective homebuyer, you probably asked the previous owner or the real estate agent how long it had been since the septic tank had been cleaned. And, you were probably given a general answer. Nevertheless, unless you saw documents to prove the information, you never really can rest assured that the tank was cleaned at a certain time unless you have it looked at by a professional. Make sure you know when the tank was last cleaned by going ahead and having a professional come to the property and clean the tank. 

You will get the opportunity to get to know your septic system better. 

There is no better way to get to know a foreign septic tank than by having a residential septic tank cleaning service come to your new home, uncover it, clean it out, and then give you a report after the work is done. During the cleaning process, the professionally will naturally take note of certain things that will be important to know, such as: 

  • What type of septic tank you have (steel, fiberglass, concrete, etc.)
  • How old your septic tank is or how many years of life it has left 
  • The overall condition of the tank and system 

You get a fresh start with the septic system at your new home. 

Moving into a home is kind of like a fresh start anyway, so why not go ahead and start off in the right place where home maintenance is concerned as well. getting your septic tank cleaned by a residential septic tank company when you move in means you are getting a fresh start. The tank will be clean and ready to support the septic needs that you and your family will be sending its way. Best of all, you will not have to worry about it.
