When to replace
- Steel tanks that have rusted
- Cracked concrete or failed baffles
- Tanks too small for the home
Replacement steps
- Pump and remove or abandon the old tank
- Prepare a level base
- Set the new tank and reconnect
- Add risers and an effluent filter
- Inspection and backfill
Check the field too
A failing tank may have pushed solids into the field. We check it while we're there.
