Septic Tank To Sewer Conversion

Are you thinking about converting from a septic tank system to a sewer? Converting your home from a septic system to a sewer system is an important consideration. Here at Schuelke Plumbing, we are ready to discuss this and explain exactly how and why it is a good idea for many reasons.

There are other things to consider. Even if you have a swimming pool, retaining walls, and mature trees and other vegetation, we can still complete this process in about 3-5 days. Once the final connection is made to the existing sewer line, the septic tank must then be pumped dry, a hole bored through the tank, the top crushed, and then filled to grade with dirt.

Connecting to sewer will more than likely increase your home’s value when you are ready to sell. Most buyer’s will expect you to be on sewer, if it is available, or to pay to have it down after they purchase. There is also no maintence, unlike that required by a septic tank system.

Many cities will not permit repairs to a septic system when sewer is available. You can also expect your city to refuse a room addition, swimming pool permit, or other remodeling if you are on septic, because of problems associated with pollution, saturation, and subsidence (homes sliding down the hillside). Cities also like to receive the revenue from the sewer fees that are charged. Your plumbing concerns are taken seriously by Schuelke Plumbing.
