Septic Installation and Repair
Septics are one of the most largest investments on your property. They take the waste water from your home and distribute it onto your property. Septic systems that become problematic can become very costly repairs. There are several things you could do to make sure your septic systems stay up to date.
Have access to the entire tank
Most septic tanks have three or four chambers in them. The inlet baffle, Pump chamber and outlet baffle. Having access to only one only allows you to clean one. Having access to all the chambers allows you to clean all the chambers and to check all of them too see if there are any problems. Access to these chambers usually requires digging and installing risers. This allows you to open all of the lids on top of a septic tank.
Pump the tank every two years
We recommend that you have the tank pumped every two years because it allows you to check the system often and discover minor problems before they become costly repairs. For example of the outlet baffle on the septic tank breaks and is letting sewage waste into the fields, this is the type of problem you want to nip on the butt early. Let it got on for too long and you will most likely be replacing your septic fields. For the cost of pumping compared to the cost of replacing, we recommend you pump.
Install an aeration system
Septic systems contain one major type of bacteria, anaerobic. These bacteria exist in a septic system because there in no oxygen. Their byproduct is the thick sludge that collects in a septic tank. That byproduct is the same stuff that clogs up your septic fields. Installing an aeration system injects oxygen into the septic system. Aerobic bacteria take control and eat the sewage and have a much cleaner byproduct. They will even go as far as to eat the sludge in your septic fields. You can add many years to a septic system by a rather inexpensive installation.
Septic tank replacement
Most modern tanks will last forever. But in the past, tanks were often built in place by homeowners or builders. Those tanks were built out of rocks and cement. Sometimes they were made out of steel or cinderblocks. They usually are pretty small and have all sorts of problems. Such as no access or not enough access. Steel tanks usually cave in and can become a real danger to children. A bad tank usually relates to bad fields. A bad tank allows septic sludge and paper to go into the fields and clog them up. By septic standards a new tank usually is not the largest expense. It is not cheap but well worth the money if can save the rest of the system.
Distribution boxes and J boxes
These boxes is where water goes after the septic tank. They are the same thing only used in different ways. D-box is used on flat land and allows water to be evenly distributed through the system. J-Box is used on ground that is not level, It is more of an overflow system. Having somebody locate and inspect these boxes every 5 years would be a good habit. If one of these boxes are corroded and not working correctly it could put too much strain on the other fields. This can cause them to fail.
Fields,Fields,Fields!
Simple as rows of stone with perforated pipe . After the distribution, box water comes here. It is where water meets earth. The brains behind a septic system is to make sure the ground can accept water faster than you can put it into the system.

Are Your Suffering From Any Of These Problems?
If you notice any of the following, call today for sewer & drain repair.
Slow draining
If you notice that the water in your sinks, toilets, and bathtub aren’t draining as quickly as they should, you may need sewer repair. This could be a sign of a clogged pipe, which can usually be fixed with drain cleaning. If the problem persists, the clog is likely located deeper within your system. These deep clogs can be caused by a variety of things, like tree roots, foreign objects, or damaged piping.
Low water pressure
In order to work properly, your plumbing must have an adequate water supply in order to work properly. If the water pressure drops, it can negatively impact its function. If your showers have been slacking or your faucets are dribbling out water, it may be time for sewer repair.
High utility bills
If your sewer line needs repairs, you may notice that your water bill suddenly skyrockets out of nowhere. If you have a leak somewhere in your system, that wastewater may be costing you extra.
Pools of septic water
Any damage to your sewer line can cause a leak just about anywhere in your plumbing system. If you notice pools of septic water in or outside of your home, it’s a telltale sign of a major issue. Call a plumber right away.
Strange noises
Any loud gurgles are a sign that there may be air trapped somewhere along your plumbing. A leak or a fault in the sewer line can trap air.
Strange odors
A properly functioning sewer line should always be sealed, meaning that nothing should ever leak out. If you start to smell strong, unpleasant odors coming out of the drains in your home, you should call a professional to check it out to locate the problem.
Foundation cracks
A damaged sewer can cause damage to your foundation if it isn’t dealt with right away. This isn’t as likely as the other signs, but you should keep an eye out for any structural damage.
Lush patches of greenery
Does one part of your lawn look especially lush and green? If so, you may have sewer damage or a leak underneath.
