Things to know about septic in Edinburg
- Bigger lots, bigger systems. Many rural homes have larger households or extra living space added over the years. If the house has grown but the tank hasn't, it will need pumping more often.
- Buying a rural property. If you are buying a home with a septic system, ask the seller when it was last pumped and consider having it pumped and inspected before closing.
- Aerobic systems. Some newer homes north of town have aerobic systems with sprinklers. These need regular maintenance, and the first two years must be under contract with a licensed provider.
Edinburg septic FAQ
What does "septic system services" include?
It usually covers pumping, inspections, repairs to lids, lines and baffles, and maintenance of aerobic systems. Tell the provider what you're seeing and they'll tell you which service fits.
Should I get the septic tank pumped before buying a house in Edinburg?
It's a good idea. A pump-out lets the provider see inside the tank and spot cracks or damage, and you start with an empty tank. See signs your septic tank is full.
My drains are slow after a big storm. Is my septic failing?
Not necessarily. Heavy rain can saturate the drainfield for a few days. If the problem doesn't clear up, or you smell sewage, have it checked. See septic problems after heavy rain.
