Plumbing is an essential feature in any modern structure or building in Chicago, but isn’t as modern as most people tend to think. It’s been around for a very long time, and has improved in both technology and functionality over the years. One of these improvements is the methods in which we dispose of waste and dirty water from our homes and buildings, keeping them clean and sanitary. These modern septic systems are what we rely on to prevent embarrassing messes and plumbing nightmares from occurring in our home, by carrying out waste from our sinks, tubs, toilets, and any other area of the home that uses water.
When it comes to disposing of these waste products safely, you need somewhere for it to go of course. Whether this is a septic tank on your property, or a sewer line that your plumbing hooks directly into for your neighborhood, you have to have a safe means of disposing of this waste properly. Septic tanks are large tanks dug into the ground of your property, sealed with a concrete lid, and usually equipped with either field lines or sprinklers to dispose of excess run off water. Tanks easily fill up when there’s rain or excess water from lawns or gardening, so the field lines and sprinklers are necessary to help keep them below their capacity limit.
Septic systems that your home hooks into directly, controlled by your local county or city waste disposal company, are much easier to manage than a septic tank system. When it comes to sewer repair in Chicago on one of these systems, it usually involves just the piping from your home to the main sewer hookup. On a septic tank system however, it could involve the sewer line itself, as well as the tank and field lines. Having someone that’s experienced in both systems, is beneficial even if you only have one of them for your home. A company like Accurate Plumbing & Heating Co. that has experience in both systems, can easily handle any sewer problem you may have when called to your home, due to their lengthy experience and training in sewer systems. Whether it’s a simple clog blocking your sewage and waste from getting disposed of properly, or a break in the line that needs fixed right away, they will have the proper tools and knowledge to restore your sewer system back to its normal functionality.
