SEPTIC SYSTEMS | SEPTIC TANKS | SEPTIC REPAIR

One thing to look out for is planting heavy rooted plants near a septic field.  This can prematurely cause failure, and a lot of damage with costly repairs.  In fast draining soils often roots will travel long distances to get access to water, a septic field is ideal as there is a regular flow of water and nutrients.  Here are some pictures of a recent field failure we had to repair.   For more information please contact us:  https://turtletankssepticsystems.com/contact/

Did you know that a leaky toilet is capable of hydraulically overloading your septic field? A leaky toilet can allow up to 50 gallons of water per day down the drain, which can eventually cause your septic field to become over saturated, and possible failure.  If you have older toilets, it may be worth checking for possible leaking, either repair or replace, it will cost you less in the long run.   For more information please contact us:  https://turtletankssepticsystems.com/contact/
