Al Miller - Bartz Septic Service

Septic tanks have at least two chambers that work in unison to separate sewage from effluent before sending it to a leach field. If you notice an odor coming from the leach field, there is a problem somewhere in the system.

Concrete septic tanks are usually quite reliable and durable. However, shifting soils can cause them to crack, or their covers can come loose. If the cover is loose, have it repaired or replaced immediately before it leads to other problems.

If your septic tank is constantly filled to within a foot of the top, it may be time to consider replacement. Pumping it out is a temporary fix and, besides delaying the inevitable, more serious problems could arise.
