When it comes to repairs, our experts can handle it all. We provide the following septic repairs:
Emergency Tank Pumping
Having your system checked every 3-5 years is standard, but an emergency is bound to happen at some point. When you are experiencing an emergency, it is vital to understand how your septic tank works. Septic tanks are often made of concrete, glass, or fiberglass, where all of your home or business’ wastewater goes. Overtime sludge, such as oil and solid waste, builds up and creates clogs in the septic system. If not regularly moved by a professional, several emergencies may occur, such as:
- Overflowing Tanks
- Slow-Draining Fixtures and Gurgling Noises
- Standing Water
We can’t always predict accidents, so choose Double JP Septic for all your emergency needs when you’re in a pinch! We are there for you at any moment, 24/7. Please call us at (512) 229-6421.
Fixing Drain Field Piping
Drain fields are crucial to the septic tank process as they remove and control sewage from the wastewater. They exist in flat yard areas and aren’t visible, so it is essential to know what you’re looking for. Various types of septic field lines differ in draining and absorption:
- Gravity systems are one of the most common field lines that depend on gravity to transport and drain sewage.
- Pressure distribution systems are similar to gravity systems but use a pump throughout the pipes.
- Mound systems are mounds of soil that filter discharge and disperse the sewage into the original soil.
- Cesspools are pits made of cement and stone without filtration, resulting in wastewater pollution. Because they cause pollution, they aren’t common anymore.
- Drywells often fix issues like flooding on lawns and provide more drainage but can become overwhelmed in a storm.
A lot of the time, you will only realize issues with drain fields once you smell revolting odors or experience sewage backups. In these cases, you must contact our professionals immediately before the clogs lead to pipe bursts and overflowing toilets.
Broken Septic Baffle Replacement
Your baffle is inside the top of your tank, where wastewater enters the tank underneath. It helps prevent clogging from grease and solids entering the pipe. If a baffle breaks or goes missing, it’s time to install a new one
Frequently Asked Questions
How can I avoid issues with my septic tanks?
Regular maintenance is critical. We want you to avoid having last-minute issues that can cause future problems like busted pipes. Also, be mindful of what you flush. Diapers, toxic chemicals, and female hygiene products often cause clogging.
Where are septic tanks located?
Septic tanks are generally 5-25 feet away from your house. Because they’re often at ground level, they’re not always seen immediately.
I need to install a new septic tank. Do I need to get a permit for the replacement?
Yes. Septic tank replacements require a construction installation permit to ensure they are well constructed.
