What are the benefits of a septic system versus a conventional system?
assistant
The primary benefit of a septic tank is that it uses natural processes to break down and filter waste, which reduces the risk of polluting our waterways. Additionally, septic tanks can be placed in areas where groundwater is not accessible or available for use. This means they can be used in rural locations and even on properties with shallow soil conditions. In contrast, conventional systems require access to municipal water services, so they cannot be used in these situations.
