How Long Should a Septic System Last? |
|
You can expect a conventional septic system, such as that being described
here, to last about 30 years. Some systems last much longer and some
systems can fail earlier for reasons like those noted above. Other things
can also affect the life of a septic system. For example, a system may have
been providing satisfactory service for a previous owner for many years,
only to fail shortly after you have bought the house. If the previous
owners were a working couple with no children, the system was probably not
heavily used; if yours is a family of six, the added load could push a
marginal system over the edge and into failure. | |
