The sewer needs to be pumped every single month now
Regular repair and pumping of the sewer system will keep the sewer in good shape.
If you have a household with a lot of renters, it can put a pretty big strain on the sewer system.
My partner and I own an apartment building that has 24 units. Eight of the units have three bedrooms, 12 of the units have two bedrooms, and the other four units are one bedroom rentals. The entire top floor of the building is for the repair manager who also acts as the management. The repair manager contacted me last week, because there was a problem with the sewage. He contacted a local supplier and found out that our tank was nearly full. The toilets were starting to back up and the drainage was slow. We got the tank pumped, but it was filled back up the next month. With all 24 units filled, the sewer needs to be pumped weekly now. I am unhappy about the circumstances, because it costs a lot of money to have a septic and pumping supplier come to the property. Unfortunately, the only thing I can do other than that is to upgrade the septic tank and buy something that is twice as big. I have to put out a huge amount of money up front or a little bit of money over time. Either way I have to spend more money on the septic and I have no idea where that money is going to come from. I’m barely making enough to cover the costs of the building and staff.
