Treatment to Keep Your Tank Functioning Optimally

Septic tank treatment is essential for maintaining the system. Most tanks include bacteria that break down the organic material in the waste, and if those organisms are compromised, it can lead to significant problems later. A professional can treat any issues with the bacteria as part of regular maintenance to ensure that your tank’s ability to break down waste has not been compromised. This proactive approach can prevent the need for repairs later on, and avoid the chances of a backup or other problem.

Septic Repair FAQ

  • 1. How do I know if my septic system needs repair?

    If you are having to pump your tank frequently because it’s backing up, or you’re seeing wastewater in your yard, it may be time for a repair.  We can inspect your system to determine the cause and recommend the appropriate solution.

  • 2. Can you add onto an existing drain field?

    Yes, but in most cases, we recommend abandoning the existing drain field and installing a new one.  A new drain field is often the more reliable long-term solution and can help avoid future issues with the older portion of the system.

  • 3. Do I need a permit for a repair?

    No. A permit is not required because there is already an existing system on site.

  • 4. Can regular maintenance prevent repairs?

    Regular maintenance can help prevent many costly repairs, but no septic systems last forever.  Pumping your tank every 3-5 years and addressing small issues early an help extend the life of your system.
