How To Tell You Need Septic Tank Replacement
When it comes to septic replacement in Eugene, OR, it’s easy to ignore the warning signs letting you know it’s time to make the investment. We’ve laid out some things to look for below.
Frequent Backups & Slow Drains
If sewage is constantly backing up into your home from your septic system or multiple drains are draining slowly, that’s a sign your septic system is nearing the end of its lifespan.
Smells of Sewage
If the inside or outside of your home has a rotten-egg sewage smell, that means something is wrong with your septic tank that may not be able to be repaired.
Standing Water
Especially when water accumulates near your septic tank or on top of your drain field, you should have a technician check to see if the leak is fixable or if it’s best replaced.
Lush Patches
Grass near your septic tank that’s greener and looks better watered than other grass on your property indicates it’s getting fertilized from waste coming from your septic tank.
Severe Damage
Lids or risers that are cracked can be hard to repair and may require full septic tank replacement.
Old Age
Most septic tanks have a lifespan of 20-30 years. However, concrete tanks can last up to 40. When your septic tank is on its last legs you should invest in a replacement before you run into deeper problems.
Aerobic Vs. Traditional Septic Installation
If you’re trying to decide whether you should opt for traditional or aerobic septic tank installation, here are some things to keep in mind.
Aerobic Septic System Installation
- Uses oxygen to break down the waste
- Especially thorough treatment
- Requires additional parts to function
- Septic maintenance is especially important
Traditional Septic Tank Installation
- Does not use oxygen, so is anaerobic
- Less thorough treatment
- Uses natural absorption of processed liquid waste into the soil
- Requires fewer mechanical components
- Needs less maintenance
There are certain circumstances where you may need to opt for aerobic septic installation in Eugene, OR, such as when the soil is preventing proper drainage, the water tables are too high, your lot is small, or the terrain of your yard is uneven. Talk to the specialists we work with to determine the best course of action for your needs.
