13. Install or repair a septic system
One of the last things in the world you want to do on your own is to try to install a septic system. Yes, it costs thousands of dollars to pay the experts to complete it so that you may be looking for cheaper alternatives. But it is expensive for a perfect reason. In case you didn’t know, septic systems carry waste from your toilet and help break it up in large tanks. It keeps hazardous waste off the ground, and it is essential to coexist with your plumbing. Professionals need a license from your local town and come in with a miner to create a hole where the tank will go. After the system is installed, you need to check to make sure it is correct for the code.
Too many things can go wrong; it’s not worth the risk of installing a septic system yourself. Some people have installed themselves if they live in a small house. Even then, most of them use toilet compost instead. For repairs, you need to hire professionals as well. The homeowner is supposed to be pumping the septic system once a year, and it only costs about a hundred dollars. Very few people follow through with this.
