Some of the most common types of septic repairs we handle include: Repairing broken and worn down part There are two types of septic systems- anaerobic and aerobic. An anaerobic system depends on bacteria within the tank to break down the solids naturally without additional air. In contrast, an aerobic system features a motor that promotes movement of the solids and liquids within the tank. This movement uses air to promote bacterial growth. Since there are fewer moving parts in an anaerobic system, the focus her when things break is on the tank, the pipes or the lids. These parts wear down over time and should be removed or upgraded. In the case of an aerobic system, the most commonly replaced part is the septic tank aerator. It is almost constantly in motion, and might wear down over time. Internal component replacement Our septic services can tell you whether or not parts like the baffles, motor, walls of the tank or even the vent components need to be addressed.
