The comfort in using our restrooms should not come at the expense of Mother Nature. Using a septic tank to manage wastewater provides several benefits to you and the environment compared to using public sewer systems. Homes and businesses around Makawao, HI, and the entire island of Maui trust the expertise of B Sales Trucking, Excavation, Pumping & Plumbing Services when it comes to their septic tank, plumbing, and other excavation needs.

Below, their experts share three advantages of using a private septic system: 

• Pests Are Reduced Significantly: If you’ve been in big cities where public sewer systems lie underneath the pavements, rats and cockroaches are a common sight. This is because pests live in the dark, dirty places where the huge pipes are installed. Private septic systems don’t require these pipes to dispose of wastewater, so pests don’t have the space to build their nests.

• Groundwater Is Replenished Easily: Wastewater flushed down the toilet in a private septic tank system reaches the ground quickly. As it drains, multiple layers of soil then filter the water and clean it before it reaches underground. This way, groundwater is replenished quickly without the need for chemicals and other artificial processes, reducing the harmful effects on nature.

• Eliminates Possibility of Raw Effluent Discharge: Wastewater may leak from broken or clogged pipes in a public sewer system, which can harm the environment or even become a health hazard to humans. The absence of pipes in a private septic system eliminates these possibilities and is also a more affordable alternative to a conventional public sewer system.

As you can see, a properly installed and maintained septic tank offers a host of environmental benefits.
