Unfortunately, septic systems have a lifespan. They last according to how they are used and maintained. Replacement can be terribly expensive and permits difficult in concept.

Contributing factors to septic system failure are:

• * Lack of maintenance, pumping of tank
• * Use of Antibiotics, Antibacterial cleaners, soaps, solvents, chlorine etc.
• * Breakage of inner septic tank deviding wall (requires tank change).
• * Lack of septic tank outlet pipe tee, baffle or filter which allows solids to enter leaching bed.
• Breakage of perforated pipes
• Rags or objects blocking inner tank outlet pipe.
• Saturation of leaching bed of either existing ground water or new neighbouring incoming water.
• Saturation due to fixture leakage or connection to weeping tiles which is a big “no-no”.
• frost due to rich water to sewage mixture.
• Depth of bed too deep.
• Poor surface grading.
• Too small to accommodate occupancy.
• Perculation of leaching bed materials.
• Backfilling around leaching bed.
• * Leaching bed has had lots of use.
• * Time

Verify that some of these conditions could be existent such as simply leaky faucets, toilets, inner tank blockages, broken pipes etc.

* Our services restore septic system leaching bed issues caused by the highlighted contributing factors listed above.
