If you’re experiencing problems with your septic system, Baker & Sons Plumbing offers septic repair in Herrin, IL. A common issue is septic tank damage due to ground movement or invasive tree roots. Systems with mechanical components may experience failures. You can also deal with drainfield problems as it becomes saturated. If you have an older system, septic replacement may be the better path forward. Some situations call for a full replacement. In other cases, you can reuse certain aspects, such as the tank or drainfield, and our plumbers can help you determine what you need and find the right solution for your home and budget.
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!
Often, inadequate maintenance is the cause of serious septic repair in Herrin. Through regular inspections, a plumber can usually identify issues before they become serious. In many cases, it’s possible to repair a damaged tank. The first step is eliminating the underlying cause, such as adding support or removing roots. The final step would be to seal the cracks and holes with a specialized sealant.
Can you restore a drainfield? The answer depends on the core problem. If the drainfield has become saturated, restoration usually isn’t an option. The typical solution is to use a second drainfield, which you’ll have to get installed if you don’t already have one. As you use that second field, the first field will restore itself naturally over time. If there isn’t saturation but there are clogs and soil imbalances, those issues often are repairable.
When should you opt for septic replacement over repair? Septic systems can easily last upward of 30 to 50 years with proper maintenance. After that point, you should strongly consider a replacement. If the previous homeowner didn’t maintain the system well, it may be necessary to replace it after even 20 years.
Replacing a septic system begins with a site evaluation. Through that process, we can determine which aspects to replace, upgrade, and reuse. From there, our plumbing team will handle all the planning, including permitting as required by local ordinances. The installation is usually the fastest phase. Normally, the entire process will take between five and seven days.
There are many benefits to timely septic replacement or repair:
