Septic Tank Repairs

As your drainage system is underground, it is hard to know when something has gone wrong. Many people operate under an ‘out of sight out of mind’ attitude regarding their septic tank repair. However, at Wilson Utilities our septic tank repairs would be less strenuous if the problem had been identified earlier. As well as this, because of their hidden nature, it is difficult to know what has gone wrong with your septic tank without a professional’s survey. 

What can go wrong with septic tanks in Northern Ireland?

1. Repairs required due to ageing of septic tanks

There is not always a large, dramatic reason behind your septic tank requiring a repair. Over time, drainage systems can age and their overall condition can become poor. 

2. Lack of or improper septic tank maintenance

It is extremely important to maintain your septic tank correctly. This means it should receive a cleaning service to empty it regularly – approximately once a year. Additionally, septic tanks operate using electricity. Therefore, issues occur when electricity is incorrectly maintained. It can become faulty as a result.
