What Causes Septic System Damage?
Our repair technicians have seen just about every type of damage imaginable. Here are some common reasons a commercial septic system will need to be repaired:
A neglected, over-full septic tank that pushes solids into the drain field- The introduction into the system of inappropriate items such as paper towels, feminine hygiene products, grease and oils, cigarette butts and cleaning chemicals
- Invasive tree and shrubbery roots
- A failed lift station pump
- Vehicle traffic driving over the septic tank or drain field
- Construction taking place on top of the septic system
Emergency Commercial Septic System Repairs
No matter what kind of business you run, it can be slowed down or stopped by septic emergencies. Lakeland Septic Company prides itself on quick emergency response and the experience needed to resolve problems safely and correctly.
Although your company’s septic system is underground and basically “invisible,” when problems begin, you’ll usually know about them pretty fast. Watch for:
- Multiple sink and tub drains running slowly or backing up
- Toilets that don’t flush efficiently or overflow
- Sewage odors indoors or outdoors
- Soggy patches of grass or ground above your septic tank and drain field
- The lift station alarm going off
- Unusually lush grass and foliage growing near the septic system
