Common Septic Tank Problems

If you notice any of these signs, it may be time for a septic tank replacement.

  • Problems soon after pumping. This indicates that your tank is no longer functioning as intended.
  • Standing water near septic tank. Leaking water indicates a cracked tank.
  • Unpleasant odors on the property. Sewage leaking into the soil is a major health hazard.
  • Dirty water appearing in sinks or bathtubs. This means that sewage is flowing backwards into your home.
  • Unusually green grass in the area of the septic tank. Even if you don’t notice standing water, this can mean the ground is constantly moist due to a small leak.
  • Water flow problems, like gurgling sounds and irregular flushing/draining.

FAQs

Your septic tank may be in good condition, but not large enough to serve your needs effectively. Our team can help you assess the volume that your home or business needs and install a septic tank that will serve you for many years.

Yes, Downing Septic provides commercial septic tank replacement and repair service. A commercial unit typically handles much larger volumes than a residential unit, and keeping it on a regular pumping schedule is essential for public health and safety. If a commercial septic tank is failing, it must be replaced immediately to avoid major problems.

The life span of a septic tank primarily depends on its composition and maintenance. Older steel septic tanks typically fail after about 15 years, while modern materials like fiberglass, plastic, and polyethylene last up to 40 years. Neglecting regular pumping and maintenance, however, drastically reduces the amount of time a septic tank can last.

Many of the components associated with your septic tank, such as pumps, baffles, and alarms, last only about 10 years before they need to be replaced. Our technicians can inspect and replace these parts to keep your system running smoothly.

They were very helpful and prompt to attend to our need. I would do more stars if I could. If you have plumbing or septic needs for sure give them a call. They also gave advise on how to avoid future issues that we weren't even aware of as new homeowners who have not had as much experience with a septic tank.
