Learn The Basics Before Your Septic Tank Installation

If you’re getting a septic tank system installed into your home, there are a few things you’ll need to keep in mind as you browse the market. This knowledge will help ensure that you are purchasing the right system for you, and that you’ll know how to take care of it. So let’s go over some septic tank basics.

How A Septic Tank Works

A septic tank is an affordable, individual alternative to a traditional sanitary sewer. Its main purpose is to trap solids and only allow the flow of liquids into the drain field. Every few years, the tank fills more and more and reaches its limit of what it can hold. That is when it needs to be pumped, so that it can continue its regular draining cycle.

Which Size Is Right For Me?

Septic tanks come in various sizes, used based on the size of your household. The average size is about 1,000 gallons, but some can get as large as 3,000 gallons (though these are primarily used by commercial buildings with a higher volume of occupants). A quick reference for those on the fence: 3 bathroom home = 1,000 gallon tank 5 bathroom home = 1,200 gallon tank Small apartment building = 2,000 gallon tank

How Much Does A Septic Tank Cost?

Here in Central Florida, a septic tank will typically cost anywhere between $600 and $1600. The exact cost in the long run will depend on the materials it’s made of, the size of the tank, additional installations and parts, as well as regular maintenance and repairs that are required by your specific model. The cheapest tanks are the concrete septic tanks, but these will end up costing you more overall due to maintenance issues and life expectancy. We’d recommend either a fiberglass or plastic tank to get the most use out of it.

What Kind Of Maintenance Does My Septic Tank Need?

After your septic tank is installed, you will need to take care of it. Over time, the tank will fill with waste that will eventually need to be pumped out. Septic tank pumpings are one of the most common services that we perform at Flush & Go. It’s imperative to keep track of regular pumpings for your septic tank to extend its life, watch out for potential hazards, and ensure that everything with your tank is running smoothly. We recommend getting this done every 2-3 years for maximum effectiveness out of your tank.
