Septic system repair

The fault is traced on site first, so the repair fixes the cause rather than just the symptom.

The fault is traced on site first, so the repair fixes the cause rather than just the symptom.

Do this first

  • Cut water use: spread out laundry, showers and the dishwasher.
  • Keep people, pets and vehicles off wet spots and away from any sewage.
  • Never enter or lean into a septic tank: the gases inside can be deadly.
  • Note when the tank was last pumped and where the lids are, if you know.
