There are many different parts of a septic system that need to be maintained regularly otherwise they will experience problems that will have to be repaired to keep the septic system running properly. From the tank itself to the drainfields, the dosing system and other parts, if these parts are not running properly it can lead to a messy situation for homeowners. These broken parts are one of the things that septic tank professionals will be looking for when they are out on location for clients.
Some of the septic repairs that we do here at Hernando County Septic LLC for clients and members of our community are more common than others. One of the most common is drain field problems. This is not an issue you can go without having it repaired, and homeowners will be able to tell if there is something wrong because of strong odors and areas of wet grass in the yard.
Apart from drainage fields, another common issue that can be addressed by septic repair services are issues with pipes. Piping is important to carrying waste from the home to the septic tank, and if there is a break or becomes cracked, it will cause smells and messes to appear.
Finally, one of the most overlooked areas of a septic tank that may need to be repaired in the future are the amount of bacteria that is present. Bacteria is essential to a septic system because it helps breakdown waste that causes clogs and back up into the home. Sometimes when someone is having backflow issues, it is because there is not enough healthy bacteria to remove the waste. These bacteria are killed by certain cleaners and other products you dump down your drains, and it is important to be careful with them!
