When homeowners need septic repair in Carbondale, IL, they call Baker & Sons Plumbing. Dealing with septic problems as soon as you notice the symptoms is important. Letting them fester can lead to a wide range of issues. You can experience an unsanitary environment inside and outside your home. They can lead to problems with your landscape, foundation, and drainfield.
If you have an older septic system, septic replacement may be the better path forward. It will cost you more now but save you money over the system’s life.
I will definitely be recommending Baker and Sons to everyone!! They were very professional and came quickly! I love how they sent a picture of the technician that was scheduled to come and the number he was going to be calling from. They went above and beyond and are fair priced. The technicians were very nice and explained everything that they were going to do. Very pleased with everything!
Through annual inspections, homeowners can avoid many septic repair issues. This way, they can schedule pumping when needed rather than when they estimate it will be required. Regular maintenance is also essential for systems with powered pumps, float switches, and other mechanical components. These parts are most likely to malfunction over the years and need repairs.
Often, septic problems first manifest as minor issues inside the home. A single slow drain probably indicates a local clog, while multiple slow drains typically indicate a blockage deeper in the system. You may notice drains and toilets making gurgling noises, unpleasant smells from drains, toilet levels increasing and decreasing seemingly without cause, and having to flush toilets multiple times.
Watch for the signs you may need a septic repair or replacement:
Multiple slow drains
Gurgling drains and toilets
Pooling water or soggy grass
Foul smells indoors and outdoors
Insufficient flushing and fluctuating water levels
When should you opt for septic replacement over repair? It comes down to weighing the short- versus long-term costs. Factors include the age and relative condition of the system. You may also have options between a full and partial replacement. If a drainfield fails, there’s usually no short-term recovery. You’ll have to build a new one or use a second field. That said, you may be able to reuse your tank and save significant money in that area.
Unexpected septic repairs and replacements can be difficult to budget for. If you face this challenge, check with your local municipality. Many offer low-interest loans using federal money received via the Clean Water Act.
