The benefits of installing a new septic tank
Are you thinking about installing a new septic tank? From figuring out what the best size and type for your property is, to looking for reliable professionals to undertake this job, it can be quite exhausting! Here at Septic Tank Services, based in Scotland, we take the stress out of organising and installing a new septic tank.
There are many benefits of installing a new septic tank with us. Did you know that even the best septic tanks break down over time and need to be replaced? Unfortunately, nothing lasts forever. But replacing your old septic tank with a sturdy new one can give you 30-40 years of great service. Our septic tank install services are available throughout Scotland and we are experts at removing old tanks and replacing them with modern ones.
Why do I need to replace my septic tank?
Septic tanks are prone to wear and tear just like anything else. Seals can start to degrade, holes can begin to develop and cracks can start to spread across their length. Over time, ground movement and vibrations can cause cracks in tanks to form, as well as knocking pipes out of alignment causing further tank damage.
Once problems like these begin, things are only going to get worse. A leak could develop meaning your septic tank could begin to pollute the surrounding ground and water. In such a case, the Scottish Environmental Protection Agency, your local council or even your neighbours could begin action against you to force you to solve the problem. If you fail to take action, then you might be committing a criminal offence.
This could become a bigger problem if your tank were to collapse, as that would pose a serious hazard to people, pets and wildlife. It would also mean you are without the ability to dispose of your wastewater safely.
If you think your tank has developed a problem, or just want the peace of mind that a new septic tank brings, we can assess your current tank. If it needs changing, we’ll recommend options, replace it for you with a newer model. But don’t worry – if we can fix it without needing to dig your property up, we will offer that option first.
Signs of septic tank faults
There are a few signs you can look out for if you are worried that your septic tank has developed a fault. Have you experienced any of these problems recently?
- An awful smell is coming from around your septic tank or surrounding areas
- Liquid or lots of mud is consistently found near your septic tank
- Ground is moving near your tank
- Your tank needs to be emptied more regularly than it used to
- Septic tanks also take the wastewater from washing machines and dishwashers, so if you notice they are draining slower than usual, you might have a problem.
If you experience any of these, then give us a call. We can investigate and advise on these and other drain services. Septic tank installations are big jobs, so make sure you get in competent professionals who you can trust – and that’s us!
The benefits of installing a new septic tank
A brand new septic tank gives you the peace of mind that all your sewage pipework is in perfect condition. Even if there are no obvious problems on the surface, if you have an older septic tank then it’s far better to change it out now before it deteriorates at an inopportune time.
One of the biggest benefits to installing a new tank is the peace of mind it gives you. Everything will run perfectly. And if your family has grown – or you are planning to grow it – then this is a great opportunity to get a larger tank.
