A septic system is an on-site wastewater treatment solution commonly used in areas without access to centralized sewer systems. It typically consists of a septic tank and a drain field, working together to collect, treat, and disperse household wastewater.
Septic systems are especially common in more rural or suburban parts of Southwest Florida, and when properly installed and maintained, they can last for decades. However, they require periodic service to prevent backups, odors, and environmental hazards.
