home, i was shocked to discover that it was hooked to a septic system. the septic tank was new to me, as all my other homes were connected to the local sewer system instead. i had to learn how to care for my septic system properly to avoid expensive repair bills. as i made mistakes along the way, i learned a lot about the way the septic system functions and the repairs required to keep it in good condition. i want to use this site to talk about the different ways you can keep your septic system working great.
