When you move to the country or "suburbs", you often become
the owner of a sewage treatment plant.
It’s function is to collect waste flushed from the dwellingand
retain it in a storage tank long enough to allow bacterial action
to take place within that tank. Bacteria break down the waste to
liquid form. A different operation from your municipal sewerage
system, where you had never thought about what happens after you
flush.
This booklet will tell you what it is you have out there in your
yard, how it's suppose to work, what you can and cannot put into
your tank, and what should be to keep it working.
Pumping every year instead of 3 to 5? Learn why. There are ways
to restore health to your tank and leech field.
If it's old and too far gone - according to your "pumper" guy,
and before you install or replace an expensive new tank, be sure
you have all the requirements in hand. Doing your homework can save
you hundreds of dollars, and gives you the edge over that fast talking
contractor. The educated customer always gets the most accurate
and lowest price, while you will avoid a possible lawsuit when your
contactor screws up. Don't assume they all know what's best for
you, or have the County & State requirements in mind.
The author, not a booklet writer, is a Licensed Master Plumber
with 45 years of hands-on experience. Isn't it nice to have a "friend" in
the business when confused and in need of advice? Don't we all need
common sense help sometime?
For a low $9.95, including postage, you can have that information,
for much less than a $75.00 service call or consulting fee.
