Have you been ignoring your septic system?
A septic system built to current-day standards and maintained properly will enhance the value of your property, avoid costly replacement or repairs and prevent pollution. Septic systems that are in good working condition help reduce the risk of drinking-water contamination, both to your water supply and your neighbours'. This is important, especially as your septic is so close to our lake. Need a list of service providers? Or ... perhaps some friendly reminders? Use our resources to learn how you should be maintaining your septic system! |
