Repair or Replace? What Happens When a Septic System Has a Bigger Problem?
Speedy services all types of septic systems, including gravity, pressure distribution, sand filter, and more. Minor issues like a localized pipe blockage, a failed mechanical pump or control switch, broken outlet baffles, or a damaged tank lid can typically be repaired.
Septic systems that are 25 to 30 years old or older are extremely vulnerable to drain field failure, recurring backups, cracks, and structural tank collapse. If the cost to repair your septic system is 50% or more than the cost of a new one, we recommend replacement.

Frequently asked questions
A residential septic tank with normal household usage should be pumped every three to five years. Larger households, businesses that use a lot of water, or tanks under 1,500 gallons should be pumped more frequently.
Yes. Lush patches of grass, foul odors, or wet spots in your yard mean your drain field may not be absorbing wastewater effectively and needs a professional inspection and repair.
Larger tanks require more time and labor, and deeply buried tanks that are hard to access or locate may also cost more. Minor repairs like fixing an effluent filter cost less than major repairs, like replacing the tank or drain field.
