🍂 Is your wastewater system on the autumn list?
Gutters, boiler, log delivery, that fence panel. Most people have an autumn list. Almost nobody has a septic tank or treatment plant on it.
It's the wrong way round. Everything else on that list fails visibly. An off-mains system fails quietly, usually in the wettest month, usually at a weekend, and usually after months of warning signs nobody was looking for.
Three questions to ask yourself:
1. When was yours last serviced? If you can't answer that, it's been too long.
2. Is there something you've been putting up with? A smell, a slow drain, a patch of ground that never quite dries. Those aren't quirks.
3. Is it actually keeping up? A system sized for a family of four does not cope with a family of six, or a converted barn, or a Christmas holiday let.
Autumn is the right time to find out, while the ground is still workable.
