What Is a Septic System?
A septic system is an underground sewage network of tanks, pipes, and other components. They are perfect waste disposal solutions in areas that don’t have access to city sewer services.
Septic tanks are watertight containers made from cement or fortified fiberglass and work to dispose of household waste. Natural material floats to the top of the water in the tank, where bacteria break it down into slurry, leaving all the solids at the bottom of the tank to form sludge. The leftover water moves to a separate drain field in the yard.
For homes that use a septic system installation, it is essential that the tank, pipes, and drain field, remain in working order through regular maintenance and pumping. This undertaking is no job for amateurs, and you'll need the services of a reputable and licensed plumber like us.
Through proper maintenance, septic tank repairs are kept at a minimum, reducing costs.
Signs That Your Septic System Needs Repair
If you notice any of the following symptoms, chances are you’ll need septic tank replacement or repair services to bring your system back to normal:
- Waste pooling or sewage in the home: If this happens, call us immediately. Any delay could mean additional costs, such as the sanitization of your home.
- Foul smells: If your septic tank or pipes begin to leak, unpleasant sewer odors and soggy spots on your lawn form due to a failure in the septic drain field.
- Slow drains: If you notice slow drains around your house, particularly in the basement or first floor, there may be a backup or damaged pipe in your septic system.
- Bright green lawn: Seeping sewage contains a high concentration of nutrients and nitrogen, which enter the soil and feed the grass. If you notice this occurrence around your septic tank, then it’s time for one of our professional plumbers to take a look.
Don't wait until minor issues become major problems. Contact us today for reliable Vancouver septic tank repair to ensure your system is functioning properly and efficiently.
How Can You Avoid Septic Tank Problems in the Future?

- Do not dump grease or oil down a kitchen sink or toilet, these clog the septic drain-field.
- Clear the septic tank area of trees or tree roots and other concrete structures like driveways.
