As the winter weather sets in, many savvy homeowners are calling on their trusted excavation contractors in NJ. Why? Because cold weather can make a lot of changes to your property, and addressing major projects, such as updating or converting a septic system, needs to happen before the ground freezes and these projects are much more difficult. One of the projects that our excavation contracting team in Hawthorne excels at is septic work. If you need work on an existing septic system, or are interested in an update to connect to a municipal sewer, an expert excavation contractor in NJ should be your first call!
Switch to Sewer
Many of the older homes in NJ are able to upgrade and connect to the municipal sewer system. This saves you so much hassle over the lifespan of your home! While the initial conversion process is a bit of work, when you hire a skilled excavation contractor in NJ, you can trust that it will be done as smoothly and easily as possible. Your old tank must be dug out, the soil tested for safety, and new lines and piping may be needed to connect to the sewer system. Once everything is done, your excavators will replace the dirt and make it look as nice as possible. Over time, you won’t have to worry about septic maintenance ever again—you’ll just continue to work with your city or county to pay the sewage use.
Septic Repairs and Upgrades
If you are not ready to switch to sewer, or if sewer is not available in your area, you may need some repairs done to your septic system. Some common elements that need repairs over time include the septic pump and the septic pipes. While most of these were built to last decades upon decades… for some older houses, many decades have passed! A septic tank that is not pumping properly, or that has faulty drains, can contaminate your groundwater and land. Yuck! Make the repairs as easy as possible when you hire skilled excavation contractors to repair or replace parts.
Don’t let your septic system fail you in the middle of a snowy winter! Make sure to evaluate your septic system regularly, and if you have parts in need of repair or want to upgrade your entire system and connect to an existing sewer system, don’t hesitate to call expert excavation contractors in New Jersey. RFC Contracting in Hawthorne has helped many homeowners and property managers bring their septic systems up to modern-day standards.
