Septic System Replacement & Upgrade

Action Septic Service removes deteriorated concrete, fiberglass, and polyethylene septic tanks and installs new precast or plastic tanks sized to your property’s wastewater demands. We handle every permit, excavation, and backfill step to ensure the project is done right and your property value is protected.

Failing leach fields get replaced with code compliant absorption trenches, chambered systems, or mound systems. Our crew evaluates soil composition and conditions, performs perc tests, and installs new drainfield media for reliable effluent dispersal. A well-maintained drain field can significantly enhance your system’s efficiency and prevent future damage

We retrofit conventional gravity fed septic systems with advanced aerobic treatment units, nitrogen reducing systems, and UV disinfection units. These upgrades deliver improved treatment process function and treat wastewater to a higher standard before it reaches the soil, providing environmental protection for your community.

Corroded or cracked D boxes and pump chambers compromise your entire system and can lead to significant cost in repairs. We replace damaged components with new baffled distribution boxes, dosing pumps, and float switches to restore even pressure distribution and keep your system functioning properly.

Every septic system replacement and upgrade we perform meets local building code requirements. Action Septic Service coordinates inspections, secures permits, and certifies the completed installation so you can have peace of mind that the work is complete and your safety is protected.

Blackwater backing up into floor drains, toilets, and showers signals a serious problem. If pumping the tank doesn’t resolve the backup, the issue likely sits in a collapsed sewer line, a deteriorated baffle, or a tank that has lost structural integrity. A corroded concrete tank can crack and allow groundwater infiltration, which creates hydraulic overload and pushes effluent back toward the house.

Saturated soil and pooling effluent above your leach field mean the absorption trenches or infiltrator chambers have failed. Biomat buildup, roots and tree root intrusion, and compacted aggregate all reduce the soil’s ability to percolate and absorb treated wastewater. Once a drain field reaches this stage, line replacement with new drainfield media is the only lasting fix to make the system function again.

Septic odor at the surface points to a failing effluent filter, a missing or broken access lid, or an overloaded system that can no longer decompose solids anaerobically. These odors carry contaminated gases and indicate the system isn’t processing waste properly. Contact our friendly team to locate the original source of the problem and start the cleaning and repair process.

Local health departments issue violation notices when a septic system fails inspection. Common triggers include undersized tanks, missing risers, absent alarm systems, and leach fields that encroach on well setbacks or property lines. A full system replacement or upgrade brings your property back into code compliant status. Don’t deal with this challenging situation alone – we will manage the entire plan from start to finish.

Conventional septic tanks and gravity systems installed decades ago weren’t designed for today’s household water usage. Older systems often lack pump chambers, effluent filters, and proper distribution boxes. Upgrading to an advanced pressure distribution system or aerobic treatment unit extends the life of your wastewater infrastructure by decades. This smart investment ensures increased functionality, reduced maintenance costs, and better protection for your landscaping and underground plumbing.
