SEPTIC TANK REPAIR

Septic Systems require routine maintenance in order to avoid septic repair and/or a new septic installation. Because tanks, pipes and drain fields are buried beneath the ground, it can be difficult to determine if your septic troubles are an easy fix or a symptom of a much larger problem. Either way, it is important to call a professional at the first sign of problems so a thorough septic inspection can be conducted. If you are experiencing any of the issues listed below, give Septic Blue a call. We are one of the leading septic repair and septic installation companies in Atlanta and would be happy to find your family or business an affordable solution.

When septic drain fields become overly saturated, the result is a flooded lawn. There are many reasons why this occurs – and they aren’t all related to a problem with the tank itself. Sometimes the drain field is located in a bad position, where water pools during times of severe rain. If water is getting into your septic tank, backups can occur not only in the yard, but inside the house as well. However, sometimes a yard full of wastewater is evidence of damage to pipes. Unfortunately, septic tank pumping may not solve a problem like this, because after pumping the water out, it will simply fill back up again. A thorough inspection should be conducted to determine if a repair can fix the issue. If you live in the Atlanta area, Septic Blue’s septic specialists are experts in diagnosing and fixing problems like this.

Sewage smells leaking into the home can be caused by plumbing issues rather than septic tank problems. If your family is experiencing this problem, be sure to contact a professional who understands the differences. However, if the smells are also noticeable in your yard, chances are your tank is backing up and it may be a sign of septic failure. 

Every family experiences occasional clogged toilets and drains. Most of the time these issues can be resolved by snaking the drain to remove the object that is blocking the pipe. However, if your family is having frequent problems with pipes backing up, it could be a red flag that your septic system has a major problem. Over time, mineral deposits, debris and rust can seal the openings of the drainage pipes, making the wastewater from your home collect in the septic tank rather than seeping into the drain field area. 

Below are some of the more common factors that usually mean a septic repair is needed or even worse a new septic system may be in your future:
