Septic Tank Repair

A personal septic tank system is essentially a private plumbing and waste disposal system that you own and operate on your property. As with any system, a septic system needs maintenance and the occasional septic repair. You will know that you need to call in a septic plumber when you see water pooling outside in your yard, the drains in your home are not going down properly, or there is an odor in the vicinity of your septic tank. Taking care of a septic repair immediately may save you thousands of dollars and may even save your whole septic system. Most septic repairs, if caught early can be repaired quite easily and and cost efficiently. If left for a long time, the septic system will start to break down and will no longer be able to be fixed, you will need a whole new septic system installed. Installing a new septic system is quite costly, and if it can be avoided, it should. Call one of our experienced septic plumbers today for all your septic repairs and maintenance. We have septic plumbers available every day of the week.

Septic Inspection

It smart for all new home buyers to have a septic inspection done on their septic system before making the purchase. This is to ensure that the septic system is in good working order and will not need to be replaced or have any costly septic repairs done in the near future. It can also let you know if the septic system was well looked after by the sellers. A septic inspection must be done by a state-licensed septic tank contractor. Included in the septic inspection is a septic tank inspection which makes sure the integrity of the septic tank, the septic cover, the waste water, and the sludge is up to par. It also included a drain field inspection which ensures that the effluent distributes evenly, there are no ditches, trenches or holes, and that soil around the leech field is mineral rich and appropriate for a drain field. The septic inspector will also inspect all the septic pipes and septic pumps to make sure they are in proper working order. A septic system is a complex plumbing and waste system and it needs each part to be in working order in order for the system to work properly. Speak to a licensed septic inspector today. 

Septic Tank Pumping

A septic tank is where the waste disposal goes immediately after being flushed from the home. The job of the septic tank is to break down the waste until it is in a form that can be reabsorbed into the earth. All the parts of the waste that can not be broken down, turn into sludge that will sink to the bottom of the septic tank. Slowly the layer of sludge will rise and grow. This must be removed or pumped before it blocks or interferes with the flow of the effluent (which is the wastewater that has been broken down) out of the septic tank and into the septic pipes leading to the septic drain field where it will be slow released into the ground. It takes a septic tank around 2-3 years to fill up with enough sludge to need a septic tank pumping. Depending on usage and how big the septic tank is will determine just how often you need to have a septic pumping done. Speak to a septic company today to schedule your septic pumping. Septic pumping is affordable and quick.

Septic Tank Installation

Whether you are installing a new septic system for a brand new home, or replacing a septic system that no longer does the job, Septic Service of North Miami Beach can help you. There are many factors to decide when installing a septic system. There are different materials the septic tank can be made from like polyethylene/polypropylene resin, fiberglass-reinforced plastic, and precast concrete. Another thing to choose is the septic tank riser cover. This is a very important part of the septic tank to keep it sealed and water tight. Although the price of a new septic tank averages around $1000-$2000, the cost of a whole new septic system can be as costly as $30,000. Speak to a septic specialist at Septic Service of North Miami Beach to find out all your options.

Septic Frequently Asked Questions

Got a question? We’re here to help.

  • What are the signs of a septic problem?

    When a septic tank needs to be repaired or maintained there are some obvious signs. You may find water pooling around the septic tank or the drain field, the drains may not flush properly or begin to back up, you may hear gurgling sounds in your plumbing pipes, or you may smell bad odors near your septic tank or drain field. These are some of the signs of septic failure. 

  • How long do septic systems last?

    A septic system is built to last forever. As long as you take proper care of your septic system and do regular septic maintenance and septic pumpings your septic system should outlive you. 

  • How much does a new septic system cost?

    You can buy a new septic tank for an average price of $1000. A whole new septic system including a septic tank, pipes, and a drain field will cost you on average between $15,000 and $35,000. This price depends on the materials it is made from, the size tank and the size drain field.

  • What is the point of a septic inspection?

    A state-licensed septic tank contractor will come down and inspect all parts of your septic system including the septic tank, the incoming and outgoing septic pipes, the septic pump and the drain field to make sure they are working properly. It is definitely worth catching a septic problem when it is still small rather than risk having to install a whole new costly septic system. 

  • How often do I need to have my septic tank pumped?

    Depending on various factors, you probably should have your septic tank pumped every 2-3 years. The more your tank is used the more frequently it should be pumped. 

  • Why is my septic tank full if I just had a septic pumping done?

    A septic tank should optimally be full of water. When a septic tank is pumped, it is not emptied of water, rather the sludge at the bottom is removed. 

  • If I am putting in an underground pool, is there anything I should be worried about in regards to my septic system?

    Yes, you must speak to a knowledgeable septic plumbing to find out just how much space you need to keep between a pool and septic system.
