Above Ground vs. Underground Septic Systems

What Is An Above-Ground Septic System?

An above-ground septic system is very simple to install. However, it would require more durable materials like concrete to prevent wastewater and other contaminants from leaking into the environment. In addition to the simplicity of the installation process, above-ground septic systems are also great for inspection and repair. Rather than requiring advanced equipment, a well-experienced technician can easily do any repairs. Unfortunately, owning an above-ground septic system also has negative sides. Firstly, if you live in a city with limited space in your house, this system will take up more of that space and cause it to look less appealing. Also, due to it being above ground, it has a higher risk of being damaged by extreme weather conditions.

What Is An Underground Septic System?

If you want to save space in your yard, an underground septic system is the right choice. Homeowners with limited space in their yards, like those living in densely populated areas, prefer this system more. It is also good because no direct sunlight will hit the septic system, nor will it be subjected to extreme weather conditions as it will be underground. Unfortunately, owning this septic system also has some negative sides. Replacement fees will be much higher than those installing the septic system above ground. In addition, if anything is wrong with your septic system, the fee for repairing or inspecting underground will be much higher and physically harder.
