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.
