3 Factors to Look for When Choosing a Septic Tank Contractor

1. Experience & Availability

As with other contractors involved in the construction of your home, it is always best to choose a contractor with extensive industry experience. Years of industry knowledge and experience give them the ability to troubleshoot unique challenges. Of course, this also makes it much easier to check references and reviews. In addition, a contractor who is readily available to begin work on your septic tank installation can also help you move into your new home that much sooner—a definite plus.

2. Ability to Cater to Property Needs

No two properties are alike, which means your septic tank needs could be very different from your neighbor’s. A quality contractor will account for the size of your home and environmental factors such as the presence of hard rock or a high water table to determine the best installation option for your property. This initial focus greatly reduces the risk of repair problems later on.

3. Ongoing Maintenance

All septic tanks require consistent pumping to avoid overflows and other performance problems. Even a properly installed tank can experience clogs or damage from tree roots. Choose a contractor who also provides repairs and maintenance, so you can ensure that your new build’s sewage system will be well cared for in the years ahead.
