Septic Repairs
Septic repairs involve fixing any issues or malfunctions within a septic system to restore its proper functioning. Common septic system problems can arise due to various factors, such as aging components, damage, or inadequate maintenance.
​Tank Pumping
Regular maintenance, including septic tank pumping, is essential. If the tank becomes too full, solids can enter the drain field, causing clogs and potential system failure. Pumping the tank is a routine repair to prevent such issues.
Baffle Repair or Replacement
The baffles inside the septic tank can deteriorate or become damaged over time. Repairing or replacing these baffles is crucial to prevent solids from entering the drain field.
Pipe Repairs
Damaged or clogged pipes in the septic system may require repair. This could involve fixing leaks, removing obstructions, or replacing sections of the pipe.
Leach Field Repairs
Issues in the leach field, such as soil compaction, clogs, or bio-mat formation, may require repair. This could involve redistributing aggregates, unclogging pipes, or even replacing a portion of the leach field.
​Pump Repairs or Replacement
In systems with a pump (commonly in aerobic treatment units or advanced systems), repairs or replacement may be necessary if the pump malfunctions. This is critical for maintaining proper flow within the system
Alarm System Repairs
Some septic systems have alarm systems to alert homeowners of potential issues, such as high water levels in the tank. Repairing or replacing faulty alarms is crucial for early detection of problems
Soil Treatment
If the soil in the drain field becomes compacted or saturated, it may be necessary to treat the soil to improve its absorption capacity. This can involve aerating the soil or adding organic material to enhance its performance.
Inspection and Diagnosis
Before any repair, a thorough inspection and diagnosis of the septic system issues are essential. This helps determine the root cause of the problem and informs the appropriate repair strategy
