If you’re dreading the thought of a septic replacement, there’s good news. Signs of a problem with your septic tank don’t automatically mean you’ll need the tank replaced. There are several repairs that our plumbers can do. Generally, septic tank repairs are less costly than having your tank replaced entirely.
Some of the following types of septic repair services we offer include:
Unblocking pipes and mainlines
Repairing your septic pump
Replacing field lines
Replacing worn septic tank components
The type of repair your system needs will depend on the nature of the underlying problem. One of our licensed plumbers can diagnose your septic issue and identify the most effective solution.
If you have a blocked septic pipe or mainline, the symptoms are generally very difficult to ignore. You may notice a strong odor emitting from the drains in your home or from the tank itself. Similarly, you may actually see puddles in your yard or backed-up sewage water indoors. In the absence of standing water outside, you may notice bright green grass in the area of your septic tank. Air that becomes trapped due to a clogged line may cause gurgling sounds in your household’s pipes.
Your septic pump moves wastewater to the drain field. If the pump breaks or malfunctions, you’ll notice water overflowing or backing up into your plumbing fixtures. Depending on the severity of your septic pump’s condition, we may be able to repair it. If your pump is old or badly damaged, you may require a pump replacement.
Field line replacement is a costlier and more extensive septic tank repair. Root intrusions and compacted soil are common causes of field line failure. In some cases, your household’s size and activities may place extra demand on your septic system. For example, using an unusually large volume of water can saturate the drain fields. Overloading your septic system prevents solids from settling, which can cause a drain clog. Flushing non-biodegradable materials can also clog the system’s pipes.
Most septic tanks do not require replacement until they approach 30 years old. However, the individual components can become worn over time. A worn or damaged part may cause your septic tank to leak. Depending on your septic tank’s condition, our plumber may be able to replace the part without installing a new tank.
