  • A septic system works by allowing wastewater to enter the tank, where solids settle at the bottom and scum floats to the top. The liquid then flows through a second chamber and eventually into a drain field. During this process, waste is broken down anaerobically.

    When functioning properly, your septic tank efficiently manages waste without needing to connect to city sewer lines. Typically, septic tanks should be pumped every three to five years. However, neglecting maintenance can lead to an overfull tank, prompting the need for immediate septic tank inspections and potential repairs.

    At Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Williamsburg, we offer septic tank inspection and repair services near you. Here are some common septic tank issues that we address:

    • Detached Dividing Wall: A split in the septic tank can trap solids in one compartment, leading to system failure.
    • Full Tank: An overflowing tank may indicate a problem with the drain field's ability to absorb wastewater.
    • Wall Corrosion: Corrosion caused by trapped hydrogen sulfide gas can lead to leaks, potentially requiring a full tank replacement.
    • Root Intrusion: Tree roots can cause extensive damage as they grow toward the septic unit, attracted by the wastewater.

What Are the Signs You Need Septic Tank Repair?

Septic tank issues can be challenging to detect because they’re hidden underground. However, there are several warning signs that may indicate your septic tank is malfunctioning:

  • Pooling Water: Unexplained water pooling on your lawn could mean your septic tank is too full and needs pumping.
  • Foul Odors: A full septic tank can cause sludge to rise, emitting unpleasant smells around your property.
  • Lawn Health: Septic waste can harm your lawn, leading to brown or yellow patches.
  • Slow-Draining Toilets: A full septic tank can affect how your toilet drains, causing delays after flushing.
