When you have a home with a septic system, this means that your waste water is managed right on your property. A home that is connected to a town sewer system does not need to worry about septic tanks and waste water disposal. In many rural areas, septic systems are the standard way waste water is handled for homeowners. Your system should be pumped out at least every three years, or every two years if your system gets significant use.

Are you having a custom home built on some land you bought? If you are, you also may have to install a septic system if the land can't be connected to a city's water and sewer supply systems. You'll have to start planning and preparing land for the installation because you can't simply throw a tank in the yard and start using it. You have to ensure the absorption field (also called the leach field or drain field) is adequate for the job, that tank pumping services won't have trouble reaching the tank, and that you don't inadvertently ruin the tank via poor landscaping.

Sadly, when septic tank leaks continue unabated for extended periods, additional damage to a property could occur.
