This is a prime example of why you don’t want you septic tank to fail and the importance of regularly septic tank emptying and maintenance.
A School District in Queensbury, NY, USA are having to spend $250,000 to replace their failed septic tank system
Superintendent Douglas Huntley said the system presents a health and safety issue. While there is no hazard at the moment, architects found the system failed and never worked well.
He also added that the system had been an issue for years and on occasions created an odour, with the flow of the system also being an issue.
John DeSanto, assistant superintendent for business, said the septic system is the first emergency project at Queensbury in six or seven years.
If you know your septic tank doesn’t work very well it will be worth calling in experts to have a look at your system to see if it can be salvaged or repaired. However this can be avoided if your septic tank is properly maintained and emptied on a regular basis. If you don’t your tank may fail and as seen above you could have to pay a hefty fee to have it replaced.
