5 Signs It's Time For Septic Tank Replacement For Your Shelton Property

If you've been considering septic tank replacement for your Shelton home or business, you probably have a lot of questions. Septic tanks are designed to last for decades, and regular maintenance and routine septic repairs can help your system last. However, there are instances where septic tank replacement may be your best option.

• Damage to septic tank - heavy rains and floods or driving vehicles over your drain field can cause your tank to break or crack
• Age of your system - while modern septic tanks can last for 20 years or more, older septic tanks can deteriorate over time
• Frequent septic repairs - if you feel like you're requesting septic repairs more and more often, your specialist may recommend septic tank replacement
• Inadequate system - if you've expanded the size of your household or business, you may need a larger tank
• Compliance issues - if you've recently purchased a property, have your septic tank inspected to ensure it's been properly installed

Having a go-to professional who handles septic tank repairs and septic tank replacement can put your mind at ease when it comes to honest and trustworthy advice for your septic system. There are a few signs to look for that can indicate it's time for a septic tank replacement.

Backup A Minute!

Backups and slow draining in your sinks, bathtub, or commode don't necessarily mean that you need septic tank replacement, but it could be an early indicator that something isn't right. If you're experiencing backups, don't wait - call your septic repairs professional today and have them check it out.

Ew, That Smell...

Sewage odors around your septic tank, drain field, or inside your Shelton home can be another cause for concern. There are causes other than a failing septic system - clogged roof exhaust vents, down drafts, or problems with your drain field function can all contribute to unpleasant odors, but your septic repair expert can help you find the source of your issues.

Bubbling And Gurgling

Gurgling sounds from within your plumbing system can alert you to clogs and buildup within your pipes, and prompt attention from a septic repairs specialist can prevent bigger problems and septic system failure down the road. Another issue to watch for is untreated wastewater bubbling up from the ground from your straight pipe discharge.

The Grass Is Always Greener

Lush, spongy, bright green grass that's growing exclusively over your septic tank can indicate a leak in your septic tank. There may also be puddles or "swampy" areas in your yard that are sure signs that your system isn't working properly.

Environmental Problems

If you live in close proximity to our Shelton area waterways, be sure to monitor nearby water sources for algae blooms. High levels of nutrients, nitrates, pharmaceuticals, or coliform bacteria that are present in surface waters or drinking waters can threaten the health and safety of our community.
