30 million households have septic systems
The price of a new septic system varies from $5,000 to $30,000 (maybe more)
depending where you love and the type of system you need.
The EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) states
"Most systems fail because of inappropriate design or poor maintenance...."
Inappropriate means "not suitable or proper in the circumstances"
-
This implies the person doing the design made mistakes.
-
Septic systems with pumps are designed to disperse effluent* evenly across the entire drainfield.
-
In most instances, only a small area in the center of the field receives water; the rest is dry.
-
This often results in drainfield failure much sooner than anyone anticipated.
*Effluent: "The liquid wastewater that exists into the drain."
'Poor' maintenance doesn't cause near as many failures as 'no' maintenance
Very few residential septic systems receive any maintenance, other than pumping.
The fact that most owner know so little makes them easy targets when their system fails.
Knowledge is Power
Google 'septic system maintenance' and five ad's appear at the top of the page.
Each site is an advertisement for a miracle cure for failed septic systems; it's a huge industry.
If they worked as advertised, regulatory agencies would do everything possible to promote them.
They rely on naive septic system owners who are desperate to avoid having to put in a new system.
Septic system lifespan varies anywhere from 10 to 40 years
-
Want to take a guess who the miracle cure target audience is?
-
Hint: it's not people with 40 year old septic systems..
