A cracked, crushed or root-filled line can back up an otherwise healthy system. We find the problem section and repair it without tearing up more yard than necessary.
Two lines keep your septic system working: the line that carries wastewater from the house to the tank, and the line that carries liquid from the tank to the drain field. When either one cracks, sags, separates or fills with roots, wastewater can't get where it needs to go.
Stewart Septic Services provides septic line repair and replacement across Macon and Middle Georgia. We find the damaged section — often with a camera inspection — and repair or replace it so your system flows freely again.
Our customers count on us for finding and repairing leaks, too. If wastewater is surfacing somewhere it shouldn't, a damaged line may be the reason.
Septic lines are buried, but they're not immune to damage.
Roots grow into joints and cracks, then expand and block the line.
Driving over lines can crack or crush the pipe.
Shifting soil can pull pipe sections apart.
Older pipe materials can crack and deteriorate over time.
A damaged line between the house and tank can cause backups inside the home. A damaged line between the tank and drain field can starve part of the field or flood another part of it.
Leaks from broken lines can also saturate the soil, attract roots and create soggy spots and odors in the yard. The sooner a damaged section is repaired, the less likely it is to cause bigger problems.
By locating the problem first, we can repair just the section that needs it instead of replacing an entire run of pipe.
Septic line repair and replacement includes:
Backups, slow drains, gurgling, wet spots in the yard and sewage odors along the line's path can all point to a damaged line.
Usually, yes. A camera inspection helps us locate the problem so we can dig only where it's needed.
Yes. See Root Removal From Lines. If roots have broken the pipe, we'll repair that section too.
Keep vehicles off septic lines, avoid planting trees near them and have your system checked regularly.
