If your septic tank is outdated or has been causing foul odors or drainage issues in your home, it may be time to call in a professional to see what’s going on. While septic problems are common, it’s important to fix any issues in a timely manner.
Knowing how much time to allot for a septic tank repair can help you plan ahead.
- Time – The time it will take a professional to repair your septic tank depends on the type of fix needed. For example, minor repairs such as fixing a clog will likely be finished in a few hours. More serious repairs can take a few days to effectively complete.
- Size – Septic tanks come in different sizes to accommodate different usage patterns. If you have a large septic tank, the repair process will likely take a bit longer to finish than a smaller one.
- Age – If you have an older tank, it will take longer to repair. This is due to rust and corrosion that has likely naturally occurred over time.
- Soil – The pressure from the ground around your septic tank helps to keep it in place. If it has recently rained or the soil around your tank is loose, then the repair professionals are likely going to need to be extra careful to prevent the tank from being damaged.
