Septic tank repairs

The fault is traced on site first, so the repair fixes the cause rather than just the symptom.

What this covers

Cracked tanks and lids, broken baffles or T-pieces, blocked pipes and failed pumps or alarms.

Do this first

• Cut water use: spread out laundry, showers and the dishwasher.
• Keep people, pets and vehicles away from wet ground or any sewage.
• Do not lift or climb into a tank: gases inside can be deadly.
• Note when the tank was last emptied and where the lids are, if you know.
