Septic repair in Aiken, SC

Common septic problems

• Sewage backing up into tubs, showers, or floor drains
• Broken or missing baffles inside the tank
• Crushed or root-clogged pipes between the house and tank
• Damaged tank lids or risers
• A saturated drainfield that won't absorb water

Start with the cause

A backup isn't always a failed system. Sometimes the tank is simply overdue for pumping, or a line is blocked. A technician will usually pump and inspect the tank first, then trace the problem from there before recommending bigger repairs.

Drainfield problems

When a drainfield fails, water surfaces in the yard or the system backs up even after pumping. In the red clay found in parts of northern Aiken County, drainfields can struggle to absorb water. Repairs range from replacing a section of lines to installing a new drainfield, which typically requires a state permit.

While you wait for help

• Cut water use as much as you can: no laundry, short showers
• Keep kids and pets away from wet areas in the yard
• Don't pour chemicals or additives into the system to try to fix it
