The properly functioning leach field is not typically a topic of interest when speaking to homeowners about what assets their property has. However, many families and property owners do not understand the importance of septic system and leach line maintenance and how it impacts their daily lives. The septic service professionals at Zinks Septic Solutions in Palmyra have a few reminders to let you know just how important a properly functioning septic system and leach lines are.

There are numerous benefits to be enjoyed when you properly care for your septic system, such as:

• Protecting Your Health: Human waste is filled with bacteria and pathogens that can cause infections and illnesses. A septic system and leach lines in disrepair will not allow for proper treatment of the waste water.
• Protecting The Environment: In addition to being harmful to humans, wastewater also affects soil health, plant life, and ground water. If your septic system ceases to function correctly, your waste could endanger the local animal and plant populations by poisoning natural water and food supplies.
• Protecting Your Wallet: Allowing your septic system and leach lines to fail will ultimately result in a need for septic system repair, which can become very expensive. In addition, the health and environmental risks posed by a failing septic system will leave you open to liability should other people incur damage to themselves or their property.

Keep yourself, your family, and your property protected from the dangers of septic system failure by making sure you maintain your septic system.
