Your septic system is not easily visible, but it’s an important component of your home. Forgetting to clean your septic tank can actually negatively affect the well-being of you and your family, your property, and your bank account. Wright’s Septic Service provides reliable and affordable septic services, including septic cleanings and septic tank pumping and installations, to residents in and around the Tomah, WI, area. Their septic experts want you to know why you need to clean your septic tank on a regular basis.

Here are three reasons why septic cleanings are so vital:

• Health: The water that is released by your septic system goes into a drainage field, which reintroduces the water to the ground and the surrounding area. This water can eventually reach your well water or the streams and lakes in your community. Water that is not properly treated can contaminate these water sources and affect the health of you, your family, and the other residents in your area.
• Financial: Regular septic cleanings provide the opportunity for system inspections and any other necessary septic services. Finding cracks, leaks, or any other damage means paying for repairs that are less costly than replacing the entire system. Septic tanks that have not been regularly cleaned can also be clogged by sludge buildup and burst, resulting in a costly replacement for your tank and drainage field as well as possible damage to your home and yard.
• Property Value: Selling your property usually involves an inspection from the buyer. If they find out your system was damaged from a lack of septic tank maintenance, it can lower the value of your property. You may even have to install a new system before your property can be sold.

Protect your health, your property, and your finances with proper septic cleanings. Contact Wright’s Septic Service at (608) 372-3615 to schedule your next cleaning or visit them online to find out more about their other services.
