FAQ
Septic Tank Repair FAQ
Straight answers about septic tank repair in Waco, TX.
Still have a question? Talk to a real person.
Call 508-816-1101What are the most common septic tank repairs?
The most common repairs are broken or missing baffles, cracked lids, separated inlet or outlet pipes, root damage and failed pumps, floats or alarms on pump and aerobic systems. Most of these are straightforward repairs if they are caught before they damage the drain field.
Do septic repairs need a permit in Texas?
Usually, yes. TCEQ requires a permit to construct, alter, repair or extend an OSSF. Emergency repairs of parts like lids, risers or inlet and outlet devices can start first, but the permitting authority must be notified in writing within 72 hours. We handle that paperwork for you.
How much does septic tank repair cost?
Common repairs such as baffles, lids and float switches cost [$X–$Y]. Larger repairs like pump replacement or line repair cost more. We diagnose first and give you a written price before any work starts, so you are never surprised by the invoice.
Should I repair or replace my septic system?
Repair it when the tank is sound and the drain field is working, which is most of the time. Replacement makes sense when the tank has failed structurally or the drain field is saturated beyond repair. We tell you honestly which situation you are in.
Why is my septic alarm going off?
An alarm usually means the water level in a pump or aerobic tank is too high. The cause is often a failed pump, a stuck float, a tripped breaker or heavy water use. Reduce water use, check the breaker and call us. Do not simply silence it and ignore it.
