Owning a house can be daunting. Homeowners, especially first-time homebuyers, can often neglect parts of their home out of lack of knowledge. The septic system is a perfect example of an often forgotten home system.
King's Services is a full-service septic system maintenance company that provides septic inspections to Winnipeg and surrounding area. We ensure the safety of thousands of Manitoban homeowners each year with our skills in septic management.
Let’s dig deeper into why septic system management is vital to maintaining your house.
Why Inspect Your Septic System?
There are several reasons why you should want to hire a professional company to inspect your septic system.
Firstly, septic systems are critical for those planning to buy or sell a house. If you are putting your home on the market, the value will dramatically decrease if you have issues with your septic system. Lower your liability with a full inspection of your septic system before you put your house up for sale. If you know that your home is having septic issues, be upfront with buyers. You’ll often be able to negotiate a price directly that will contribute to a new septic system.
From a buyer’s perspective, you want to know what you’re getting into before making a substantial purchase, such as buying a home. Your expenses will increase if you have to hire a company to repair your septic system immediately after moving in.
The other reason why you need to inspect your
septic system is for preventative reasons. It’s ideal to hire a professional company to do an annual inspection of your home. These professionals can ensure that your system is running efficiently by checking pumps,
checking alarms, and a multitude of other maintenance tasks.
When To Hire an Inspection Service
Several indicators will inform you that you may need to hire someone to inspect your septic tank. We brought up a couple earlier. If you are buying or selling a house, it is necessary to call a septic real estate inspection professional to evaluate the system. Also, be sure to schedule annual preventative appointments to keep track of the status of your septic system. Our company allows you to schedule routine appointments up to a year in advance. The first sign of a faulty septic tank is a foul odour. You may notice this inside or outside your house and it can signal a few different things. Either you have a leak or a drain issue.
In either case, expect a backup soon. However, you won’t always experience an odor when you have a septic problem. Another indicator is if the ground outside of your home near your tank or septic field is soggy. If it is, this is a threatening issue, and you should contact us right away. Lastly, another symptom of septic tank issues is the clogging of drains.
Drain clogs can cause various problems in your pipes and sewage systems. Note that you should never, under any circumstance, go into a septic tank. The chemicals and gasses in these tanks are lethal, with the ability to kill you within a few minutes. Thus, doing an inspection yourself is not an option. Our contractors wear industry-standard protective gear when checking your septic tank.
Our Services
King’s Services helps keep Winnipeg homeowners safe with our thorough septic system inspection process. Our inspection starts with locating the parts of your system.
We’ll make sure there is no interference from your basement, power lines, or other disruptors. Then, our team will check the lid and tank. We’ll look for signs of damage in your tank and if there’s an issue, provide on-the-spot quote for repairs.
Here are some tips that will help you prevent problems with your septic system. Firstly, you should never flush anything down the toilet other than toilet paper. Even if you don’t experience issues after flushing another item down the toilet, it all builds up, leading to severe consequences down the road.
Similarly, avoid putting any chemicals down the drain. This mistake can lead to dangerous bacteria forming in the septic system that can be detrimental to you and your family’s health. Also, be careful where you plant trees. If tree roots are too close to your septic system, they can cause severe damage.
