Septic Tank Replacement in Waterloo

Like any other equipment, septic tanks also stop functioning properly after many years of use. If you notice leaking sewage or there is an unpleasant odour in your backyard, this is a sign that your septic system is failing. Depending on the cause of the problem, you’ll need to decide if you need septic system installation or repair in Waterloo. These are the most common issues:

  • Standing water. The presence of standing water indicates that your septic system is not able to dispose of water efficiently. This leads to a buildup of bacteria. Contact Superior Plumbing & Heating to schedule an inspection and septic system installation in Waterloo.
  • Frequent repairs. Regular maintenance is beneficial, however, if repairs are needed frequently, you should consider septic tank replacement;
  • Bad smell. Gases can enter your home through sewers, toilets, and the drain field; if they return after the septic tank is pumped, the system is likely to fail and need to be replaced;
  • Green grass. Green grass is usually good, but if it grows only around the septic tank, it is a sign that the wastewater is enriching the soil around it, and it is recommended to check for possible leaks;
  • Pipe backups. If you frequently have to empty the septic tank or sewage leaks from the toilet, consider replacing the system.

Contact Superior Plumbing & Heating if you are experiencing one of these problems. We will determine the source of the problem and fix it quickly before it becomes an emergency!

When and why should you fix your septic system components?

How long do septic tanks usually last?

The type of tank you use affects its service life. Septic tanks made of steel begin to rust. First, their baffles are removed (which leads to blockage of the drain fields), and then rust develops on the sides and bottom. If the tank has been in operation for more than 15 years, it is likely to be damaged by rust. Concrete septic tanks, on the other hand, tend to last longer, on average 40 years, but this also depends on the pH of the soil around the tank and the quality of the materials it is made of. Septic tanks made of plastic as well as fibreglass are durable. The only exception is mechanical damage. Regular maintenance of the septic system will increase the service life of your device.
