A septic system in a home can be scary for new and old homeowners, and talking about what happens in the bathroom isn't the best topic to talk about.
White River Environmental isn't afraid to have those conversations with you. We want you to feel comfortable and ready for your new home. Here are some tips we have for homeowners with septic tanks.
Three tips before buying a home with a septic tank in Arkansas
1. Check your counties requirements
Counties have regulations about the last time the septic was inspected and pumped. The Arkansas Department of Health has many resources on what to look for and government resources.
If the system hasn't been pumped in the last 12 months, then it needs to be before you move in.
2. Find out what kind of system you have
There are different types of systems, such as:
● Conventional System
● Chamber System
● Drip Distribution System
● Aerobic Treatment Unit
● Mound Systems
● Recirculating Sand Filter System
● Evapotranspiration System
● Constructed Wetland System
● Cluster/Community System
The Environmental Protection Agency provides resources on each one of these.
3. Know the layout of the system
You might be looking at your potential home and want to make changes. Before you lay concrete or make changes, make sure you know how the septic system is set up so you don’t end up having to do double the work. This way, if repairs need to be done, you don't have to destroy any of the work you put in.
