Why You Might Need A New Septic Tank
Buried underground as they are, we don't often think about where our wastewater goes when we flush or rinse something down the sink. So you might not even think about a new septic tank. Here are a few reasons a new tank would be the best option for you:
- Building A New Home Or Addition: When you're putting up a new house or adding significant square footage to your existing home, you'll need a septic system that's properly sized and designed for your family's needs. We work with you from the planning stages to ensure your new system meets all local requirements and handles your household's waste management efficiently from day one.
- A Complete System Failure: Sometimes an old septic system just gives up the ghost entirely. When your current system has failed beyond repair - whether from age, neglect, or damage - replacement is the only option that makes financial sense. We'll help you understand your options and design a new system that serves your family reliably for decades to come.
- Upgrading From An Outdated System: Older septic systems often don't meet current environmental and health standards. If your system was installed before modern regulations took effect, replacing it with a current system protects your property value, keeps you compliant with local codes, and gives you better performance with today's advanced septic technology.
- A Significant Increase In Usage: When your family grows or you're using more water than your current system can handle, it's time for an upgrade. We'll evaluate your increased needs and design a system with the capacity to handle your household's current and future waste management requirements without strain or problems.
- Buying A New Property: Found the perfect piece of land, but the septic system needs work? We help property buyers navigate septic replacement as part of their purchase, ensuring you get a system that's designed right and installed properly so you can enjoy your new home without worry about waste management problems.
How Do I Know If My Septic Tank Is Failing?
Despite being hidden well beneath your yard, there are still many signs a septic tank will give you that its functional time is running out, including:
- Sewage Backing Up In Your Home: When wastewater starts coming back up through drains, toilets, or appearing in your basement, your system is telling you it can't handle the load anymore. This nasty situation usually means your tank or drain field has failed and needs immediate attention to protect your family's health and your property.
- Persistent Foul Odors Around Your Property: Strong sewage smells near your septic tank, drain field, or even inside your home indicate your system isn't containing and processing waste properly. These odors often signal that your tank is overfull, damaged, or that your drain field is failing and needs replacement.
- Lush, Green Grass Over The Drain Field: While green grass sounds nice, unusually thick or vibrant vegetation over your septic area means untreated wastewater is feeding your lawn instead of being properly filtered through the soil. This soggy, nutrient-rich condition indicates your drain field has failed and is contaminating the surrounding area.
- Standing Water Or Soggy Ground: Pools of water or consistently wet, muddy areas around your septic tank or drain field mean your system isn't absorbing wastewater like it should. This surface water often contains harmful bacteria and indicates that your drain field has become saturated and can no longer do its job.
- High Nitrate Levels In Your Well Water: If you have a private well and testing shows elevated nitrate levels, your septic system may be leaching untreated waste into the groundwater. This serious health hazard requires immediate system replacement to protect your family's drinking water and comply with environmental regulations.
- Age & Lack Of Maintenance Records: Systems over 20-25 years old without proper maintenance history are living on borrowed time. If you can't remember the last pump-out or have no records of system care, it's wise to have us evaluate whether replacement makes more sense than trying to repair an aging, neglected system.
