When it’s time for a septic tank replacement, many homeowners feel uncertain about what to expect. Whether due to age, increased household demands, or property expansions like a new casita, replacing a septic tank is a major decision that can protect your property’s value and keep everything running smoothly. Here’s what you need to know to make the process stress-free and ensure a smooth transition.
Recognizing the Signs of a Failing Septic System
Understanding when it’s time for a replacement is essential. Common signs include frequent backups, slow drains, and foul odors around your home or yard. You might also notice overly saturated ground around your tank. If you notice these issues, a repair might not be enough. Septic tanks usually last 20-40 years, but eventually, wear and tear take their toll. If your tank is reaching this age range, an inspection from a professional can confirm whether replacement is the best option. Priority Pumping can help you assess your system’s health and make the right call.
