Septic tanks are long-term investments, and they can last many years when they’re properly maintained. However, there will come a time when your septic tank is no longer sufficient for your needs, and you’ll need a septic tank replacement service.
Here are a few key signs that it’s time to schedule a professional for septic tank replacement services:
- Your system experiences frequent backups. Sewage backups are unpleasant to say the least, and as they escalate in frequency around your home, you’ll need to act quickly if you want to prevent larger septic disasters. Sometimes, sewage backups can be solved with a pumping service, but a septic tank replacement may be necessary if the backups never seem to be solved for very long.
- More people present. Have more people moved into your home, increasing your water usage needs? If so, your current septic tank may not be able to keep up with this new demand. With more water usage comes increased strain on your tank to filter all this water, so if your household has recently grown, you may need a larger septic tank.
- Puddles in your yard. Puddles pooling around your septic tank outside indicate a leak or damage to your tank. Septic tank damages are a major issue that can wreak havoc on your property, so you’ll want to have them addressed as soon as possible. In severe cases, this can include a septic tank replacement.
