Septic Tank
Have a professional flush your septic tank every five years or so to keep it working well. Septic systems can back up when the septic tank builds up sediment. This can even result in the septic system failing altogether. While it may cost a bit to have your septic tank pumped out, it will cost you much more to clean up any sewage backup or to repair or replace your septic tank.
Make sure the job gets done by not paying your plumber until you are satisfied, and the work is completed. Although you might be required to pay a down payment before the job is initiated, never pay the bill in full until you are certain that the job is completed to your satisfaction. You want to make sure that the plumber completed everything that they said they would before they get your money.
