To upgrade your septic tank, here what you should consider
OVERVIEW
A septic tank upgrade should solve a lot of problems. Is your home ready to refresh its septic system? Please read our article to find out.
Sewage is dirty, but a working septic tank is vital for your property. If your septic tank is giving you problems, it may be time to look at a septic tank upgrade. Upgrading septic tank systems can be costly; you must ensure you need it before spending money. Often, tanks can be repaired rather than replaced. Let’s look at a few considerations before you start gathering replacement quotes.

What Is a Septic Tank?
A septic tank system is an underground wastewater treatment structure. Replacing cesspits in the early 1800s, septic tanks are used in rural areas or areas that do not have access to municipal septic grids.
These systems consist of a septic tank, a distribution box, and a field drain, also known as a leach box. The tank helps with digesting the organic matter. It separates the floatable case, such as oils, grease, and solids, from the wastewater.
After that, the wastewater then moves through pipes buried in the field’s drains. By design, the gutters leach the wastewater into the soil.
Septic Tank Upgrade
The cost of replacing your tank is worked out by the number of bedrooms and square footage of your house. This determines the size of the tank you will need. If your tank does need replacing, don’t skimp. Do your research and find a professional plumber specialising in septic tank replacements.
Repairs are better than replacements. There are a few things you can look out for to prepare you for any possible septic tank replacements.
Age of the Tank
Properly maintaining your septic tank can last 40 years or more. If you are buying a home, you should always find out the age of the septic tank. You should have no problems with it, but for older homes, you may need to start budgeting for a new system sooner rather than later.
Have You Outgrown Your System?
Your septic tank is built based on the size of your home and the number of bedrooms. If you have extended your house or used more water, you may have outgrown your septic tank.
If your tank is too small, look into an upgrade before damage starts.
Slow Drains
Do you find the water drains slowly from the bath or the sink? This could be as simple as a clogged drain. But if it happens in all sinks and bathrooms, it could mean you have a sludge build-up in the pipes.
Standing Water
Any standing water around or above your septic tank is not a good sign. It may be something you can repair, but if the tank cracks, it requires immediate replacement. It could also mean there is an issue with your field drain. This is, unfortunately, the most expensive part of your septic tank system. You can replace the field drain without needing an entire septic tank upgrade.
Never ignore standing water; it only gets worse with time.
Contaminated Water Source
If you are finding pollution in nearby water sources, investigate immediately. Bacteria such as nitrate, nitrite, or coliform could mean there is a problem with your system.
