Septic Tank Repair Service in Worcester, MA

The Common Causes for Septic Tank Repair

The most likely culprit for septic system malfunctions is just that the tank needs to be emptied. In fact, this is probably the best outcome you could hope for, because the solution is so simple.

Other common concerns are related to damage in or around the tank. This may be due to tree roots growing straight through its walls or pipes. Damage can also be caused by nearby construction or heavy vehicles, such as tractors and farm machinery. The resulting pressure is transferred through the ground and may crack or collapse a tank.

Alternatively, it could be that your septic tank is too old, or that it wasn’t installed correctly. In either case, problems will persist after septic tank maintenance until more drastic steps are taken to correct the problem.

Some of the warning signs of septic system problems include:

Water backing up from drains
Slow-draining sinks
Loud and/or unusual plumbing noises
Wet/muddy ground near tank
Excessive odor near tank
