Septic System Repair in Abilene
When properly designed and executed, a septic system should last for 20 to 30 years without incident. However, several factors will shorten its usable life. Poor construction and substandard materials cause cracks and leaks in the tank and pipes.
An undersized system may not be able to keep up with demand, resulting in backups. Sending fats, oils, and nonbiodegradable items down the drain will block both the tank and drain field pipes. The way you treat your system may determine whether we can execute a simple repair or need to talk about a replacement.
Your septic fix begins with a diagnosis. Several factors can cause the symptoms you are experiencing. A slow-draining system could result from physical blockages, tree roots, or damaged pipes. Water pooling on your lawn can be a sign of a tank that needs pumping or problems in the drain field. Discovering the cause lets us apply the correct septic fix the first time.
