Aerobic Systems, Lateral Lines, Aerator Pumps
With over 20 years of experience fixing blocked sewer lines, broken pumps, and other septic tank and systems issues, we’ve got you covered.
Septic Tank Repair
Standard septic tank repairs address some of the frequent issues that disrupt your system’s normal function. Repairs often target blockages within the septic tank itself. Technicians might utilize tools like drain augers to clear clogs but, in some cases, repairs involve replacing malfunctioning components like septic tank baffles, which help separate solids and liquids within the tank.
The specific repairs needed will depend on the diagnosed problem. K and K Septic can effectively address these standard issues to restore your septic system’s health quickly and at a competitive price. If the tank itself is damaged beyond repair, we will guide you through the process of having it replaced and we offer a complete septic tank installation service.
Lateral Line Repairs
Lateral lines are the unsung heroes of your septic system, carrying treated wastewater away from the septic tank and into the drainfield for final absorption. Unfortunately, these buried pipes aren’t immune to problems. Standard lateral line repairs address a variety of these issues.
The most common culprit? Tree roots. Their relentless growth can infiltrate and clog the lines, hindering wastewater flow. K and K Septic’s technicians are equipped to tackle root intrusion. They can employ powerful mechanical cutting tools or environmentally safe root-killing solutions to eliminate these invaders and restore proper flow.
Standard repairs also encompass fixing damage caused by other means. Shifting soil or accidental punctures by equipment can compromise the integrity of the lines. K and K Septic can assess the damage and employ techniques like pipe patching or replacement to ensure the lines function properly again.
Compressors and Pumps
Aerobic septic systems rely on a compressor to push air into the tank, promoting healthy bacterial growth. The bacteria then break down waste so it can be carried out to the drainfield. When your system experiences sluggish drainage or foul odors, it might be time for compressor repairs or even a septic tank pump replacement. K and K Septic’s technicians can determine the issue and recommend a solution.
For compressor repairs, the focus might be on replacing malfunctioning components like diaphragms or filters. These filters, along with air diffusers located within the tank, should be routinely inspected and replaced. In some rare cases, the compressor may need to be replaced. Additionally, some pumps include an integrated grinder mechanism that can require additional maintenance or replacement when worn.
By maintaining these components and performing regular maintenance, K and K Septic can ensure your aerobic septic system functions efficiently and help you avoid costly repairs down the line.
Drainfield Repairs
Does your drainfield need some TLC? Are you plagued by soggy ground and smelly odors?
Your drainfield is a network of perforated pipes buried beneath the surface of the ground and it plays a vital role in your septic system. It distributes the treated wastewater from your septic tank back into the soil for natural filtration. However, like any other system, your drainfield can encounter problems over time, including clogs, root intrusion, and damaged lines.
