Septic tanks provide a reliable and efficient method of waste management for many homes and businesses. You may be faced with septic repairs from time to time. Septic repairs due to clogs or root intrusion, aging pipes or pumps, or poorly draining drain fields are all common issues we see. A general septic tank system consists primarily of two components…a concrete or plastic tank and a drain field. The septic tank collects organic matter, digests it, and separates solids from liquids. The liquid, referred to as the effluent, is then carried to the drain field for slow absorption into the soil, while the solids collect in the tank. Once the tank is two-thirds full it should be pumped and then inspected for the next long haul.

Yes. Hickory’s winters are fairly mild, so septic crews can usually dig and make repairs year-round. A hard freeze or heavy rain might push the schedule back a day or two, but a failing system shouldn’t wait until spring.
Many repairs need one, especially work on the tank or drain field. Your county environmental health department issues repair permits and may inspect the work afterward. Smaller fixes, like replacing a cracked pipe between the house and the tank, don’t always require a permit, so check with your county or contractor first.
Sewage coming up through drains or pooling in the yard counts as an emergency because it can carry harmful bacteria. A blaring alarm on a pump tank also needs quick attention. Slow drains or a faint odor are less urgent, but you’ll want them checked before they turn into a backup.
Tree roots, aging pipes, and clogs from wipes, grease, or too many solids top the list. Heavy rain can also overwhelm a drain field in clay-heavy soil like Hickory’s. Skipping regular pumping lets sludge build up and push into places it doesn’t belong.
Stop running water right away, including toilets, showers, the dishwasher, and the washing machine. Keep kids and pets away from any sewage, since it can carry harmful germs. Then call a septic company that offers 24/7 emergency service in the Hickory area.
