Septic Tank Repair

Septic system repairs that are common

The most effective strategy to lower the expense of your septic system over time is to have it pumped out on a regular basis. Make an appointment with a septic provider in your area to get on a 3-5 year plan. This is a simple approach to avoid pricey repairs.

Any plumber or septic firm with a motorized auger may remove tree roots before they become a major problem.

Backups and blockages are typically resolved by "snaking" the pipes to force material through. Clogs may necessitate a septic company's inspection of the tank following a pump out.

Symptoms that it's time to repair your septic system

Clogs: This is more frequent in families with children. When a toy gets stuck in the toilet, it makes its way to the septic tank. It can become lodged along the route or even become jammed in the drainfield's exit ports.

Avoid flushing these down the drain to avoid clogging your septic system:

• Oil
• Grease
• Cotton
• Diapers
• Gauze
• Cigarette butts
• Paint, varnish, or garage chemicals

Backups: This is a rather apparent indicator that something went down the drain that shouldn't have, or that it's time for a pump out. If not addressed quickly, backups can pose a serious health risk.

Tree roots are one of the most prevalent causes of septic system failure. Trees and other plants have a tendency to develop roots into water sources, and a septic system is one of the most common targets.

Regular pump outs and inspections can help identify and mitigate tree root issues early on.

Damaged Lines: If you intend to do any landscaping or excavation on your property, be sure you know where your septic system is located. Digging without knowing may be a costly error, costing considerably more than expected for both the excavation and septic operations.
