Repair

The most common cause of septic system breakdown is a failure to keep the filter properly cleaned. If the filter is not cleaned on a regular basis, sewage in the septic tank may backup the sewer line into the house or overflow out of the septic tank onto the ground. There are many different types of filters and sometimes they are not always located in the septic tank.

Tree roots not only damage drain field lines but can also crack septic tanks. It’s important to know where every component of your septic system is located on your property. Allowing vehicles to drive over or park on your drain field is also a common cause of damage.
