Frequently asked in Aurora

What is the purpose of a septic tank?

A septic tank is an underground unit that treats wastewater from homes not connected to a city sewer. It separates solids from liquids, allowing decomposition to occur. The treated liquid then flows to a drain field, protecting local water sources, which is particularly important in the Aurora area.

What is the average cost of a septic tank?

How long do septic tanks usually last?

When properly maintained with regular pumping and care, a septic tank can last for 20 to 30 years or even longer. Avoiding the disposal of grease, non-biodegradable items, and harsh chemicals will contribute to its longevity. This ensures continued reliable operation for Aurora homeowners.

How often do septic tanks need to be emptied?

Septic tanks in Aurora typically require pumping every 3 to 5 years. This frequency may need to be adjusted based on the number of people in your household and your water usage habits. Regular pumping is crucial for preventing system failures and costly repairs.

How much does it cost to have a septic tank pumped?

How often should a septic tank be pumped?

For most residents in Aurora, pumping the septic tank every three to five years is a standard recommendation. This interval might need to be shorter if your household is large or if you use a lot of water. Consistent pumping is essential to prevent sludge buildup and potential system backups.
