Septic Tank Systems

If you’re in an area without access o a public sewer treatment system, you likely have a septic tank system.

Your septic system is an essential part of your home or business. It’s designed to filter wastewater from toilets, showers, sinks, appliances, and other sources. As soon as the waste enters the tank, the solid matter, which is known as sludge settles into the bottom.

The sludge can eventually block drainage from your property and start to back up the sewer lines. When this happens, you can expect clogged sinks and drains as well as unpleasant odor. The sludge is also likely to enter the septic field and cause harm to the ground and environment.

While septic systems are often out of sight and out of mind, they require maintenance and in some cases, must be replaced. Otherwise, you might put your property at risk for serious and costly damages in the future. The EPA recommends you have your septic system professionally inspected and pumped every two or three years. Annual pumping might make sense if your septic system undergoes more frequent use.

Septic System Installation

New Sewer Systems

Fortunately, septic systems are long lasting. The average system will last anywhere between 20 to 30 years. However, at some point, you will need to replace the septic system in your home or business. This may be because you require a larger septic system that can handle higher water usage.

Or perhaps water testing shows that there is contamination in your septic system. Other common reasons that warrant new septic system installation include damage in the tank, a drainfield failure, and damage with the sewer lines. Our team is dedicated to providing the highest quality septic system installation.

Septic tanks are underground chambers that are usually made out of concrete, fiberglass, or plastic. They’re specifically engineered to gather waste from toilets, showers, garbage disposals, washing machines, and other plumbing systems on your property. While the solids stay in the tank, the liquids transfer out into a bruised drainfied.

At some point in time, you might need your septic system maintained or repaired. Or you may require a new septic system installation altogether. Some of the telltale signs your septic system needs to be replaced include toilet flushing issues, a yard with an unpleasant odor, slow drains, gurgling sounds, and well water contamination.
