Be Careful What You Flush

Make sure your cleanout access panel is easily accessible while the septic system is being installed in your home. The cost to pump or service the septic tank will be higher if your cleanout access is underground. During the installation of the system, some businesses may choose to bury the access panel. To pump the system or perform other tasks, maintenance technicians must locate and dig up the access if something like this happens. Because of the equipment and labor required, this additional work will cost you more money. An extension can be installed by your septic company if the access to your cleanout is already buried. To make it easier to get to the septic tank, an extension uses risers and either a concrete or plastic pipe.
