When Do I Replace My Septic Tank?

Replacing your septic tank isn’t always necessary, but there are situations where it might be recommended:

AGE:

Septic tanks typically last 20-30 years, depending on usage and maintenance.

FREQUENT PUMPING:

If you need to pump your tank more than every 2-3 years, it might be nearing the end of its lifespan.

STRUCTURAL DAMAGE:

Cracks, leaks, or other signs of damage can necessitate replacement.

CHANGES IN USAGE:

Increased household occupancy can put added strain on your septic system.

Contact Zona Plumbing for a professional inspection to determine if your septic tank needs replacement.

Can My Existing Septic Tank Be Emptied?

Yes, septic tanks need regular emptying to remove accumulated solids and sludge. This typically occurs every 2-3 years, depending on your household size and usage.

How Do I Know If There’s a Problem with My Septic System?

Signs of a potential septic system issue include:

• Slow drains or backups in your home.
• Sewage odors inside or around your home.
• Soggy or overly lush ground near the septic tank.
• Sewage discharge on the property.
• Visible cracks or damage to the septic tank or drain field.
If you experience any of these signs, contact Zona Plumbing immediately to diagnose the problem and prevent further damage.

How Often Should I Have My Septic Tank Looked At?

Regular inspection and maintenance are crucial for a healthy septic system. We recommend scheduling:

• Septic tank pumping every 2-3 years

by a licensed professional.

• Regular inspections every 1-2 years

by a qualified plumber to identify potential issues before they escalate.

Zona Plumbing provides comprehensive septic services, including inspections and maintenance, to ensure your system functions reliably and efficiently for years to come.
