Septic tanks are one of the best ways to dispose of on-site sewerage. They’re environmentally friendly and very low maintenance if installed correctly. That’s why it’s essential to leave septic tank installation to a professional. An improperly installed septic system can also pollute surface and drinking water and cause severe environmental damage.
The best way to avoid any issues is to work with a reputable septic tank contractor, such as Premier Service Company, Inc. Our Tuscaloosa, AL, contractors have installed hundreds of septic tanks and understand the intricacies of correct installation.

While septic tanks are low maintenance, that doesn’t mean that they’re indestructible. Several things can damage a septic tank, resulting in the need for a septic tank replacement.
By taking a few small precautions, you can keep your septic system healthy and functioning for years to come:
-
Don’t dump grease down a drain or toilet.
-
Install drainage to keep the area around the tank from getting waterlogged.
-
Avoid flushing solids down the toilet.
-
Have regular inspections.
-
Keep the tank area clear of trees or concrete structures.
-
Use septic-tank-friendly cleaning fluids (avoid bleach).
Common Septic Tank Problems
Some of the most common problems we see in Tuscaloosa septic tank installations are a result of inadequate field line installation or lack of proper care.
Some signs you may have an issue with your septic system include:
-
Standing water or signs of soil saturation near the field.
-
Slow-draining tubs or toilets.
-
Water backing up into your tub.
-
Gurgling sounds after flushing the toilet.
-
Unpleasant smells after heavy water usage.
Septic tanks deteriorate over time — you will eventually need a septic system replacement. While proper care can prolong the life of the tank and system, no tank lasts forever.
