Overflowing septic tanks can be a huge problem for the whole environment and not only for us, and we must try to take care of it properly. The dilemma that often arises is the responsibility to send about the septic tank, whether it is the tenant's obligation or the tenant's obligation. In this list, we will try to explain to you what and whose obligations they are.

 

 

Tenant's responsibility

Your first and foremost responsibility is to use the septic system properly and not cause any problems or damage. The most common breakdowns occur when people throw heavy and greasy things that get stuck in the pipes and create a blockage where spills occur. According to the folks behind Alligator Septic & Drain, the good thing about these situations is that professionals will have no problem fixing the problem, so it's important to call them as soon as possible. In agreement with your landlord, call them for this service and solve the problem before it becomes even bigger and the neighbors complain about you. Your second obligation is exactly the one we mentioned, which is to contact your landlord as soon as possible so that they can react. Also, make sure that the work you do in your house or apartment does not damage the pipes that make up the septic system, so pay attention to that.

 

Landlord's responsibility

It is not enough to just own a house or an apartment and rent it out and think that this is what our obligations are. No one will take care of our things as we can ourselves, so we still have responsibilities towards our real estate in addition to taking money every month. The first responsibility of our home's septic systems is the general maintenance of the septic tank. This maintenance is performed every 3-5 years and is usually completed in one working day by the service provider, who performs all the methods that are applied and with adequate machines. Maintaining correctness is also one of the obligations that the landlord must adhere to. After each change of tenant, he is obliged to check that everything is in order and that there are no potential risks and problems because, in the event of a breakdown or spill, he will be the one who will have to contact the provider of such services.

 

 

The key thing with all potential problems is prevention and we have to do our best to take care of this, including the septic tank. We hope that we managed to solve your doubts and that your problem will be solved as soon as possible.
