Republic Septic Tank Installation
Any time your home experiences sewage backups in the drains or toilets, there’s likely something wrong with your sewage line or the tank itself. It could be due to a clogged outlet pipe, a broken baffle, or even tree root intrusions that damage the system.
We’ll have to carefully inspect the tank, inlet, and outlet lines, and the surrounding soil to determine the exact problem. Unfortunately, for many issues, a sewage tank replacement will be the only long-lasting solution.
Slow drainage is another warning sign to give us a call. If it’s multiple drains across different parts of your house, you may be dealing with a failing septic tank. If this is the case, a new septic tank installation might be the only way to restore proper drainage and prevent future backups. Having us perform an inspection is the best way to find out what’s going on underground.
Foul odors resembling rotten eggs or sewage are other clues to book an inspection. These bad smells could be the result of leaking pipes or ventilation issues. A replacement will fix the root cause, whether it’s system failure or structural damage, so you don’t have to deal with recurring smells or health risks.
The age of your tank plays an important role in choosing between repairs and replacement services. Most tanks have an expected lifespan of 20 to 40 years with proper maintenance. When your tank is nearing the end of its life, a replacement will almost always make more sense than a repair.
A septic tank replacement is necessary in several scenarios:
- Failed inspection
- Structural damage to tank
- Flooded or saturated drain field
- Frequent system backups
- Need for larger capacity
