Tank replacements are one of the jobs Colorado Septic Pros does most. If your septic tank has failed or is failing, we replace it, and we look at the rest of the system so the repair solves the problem instead of just moving it down the road.
When a Tank Needs to Be Replaced
A tank that is cracked, collapsing, leaking, or no longer doing its job needs to come out. Signs that something is wrong with a system can include slow drains, backups, odors, or wet or soft ground over the tank area. Because those same symptoms can come from other parts of the system, a proper look at the whole system matters before deciding what to replace.
Replacement or Full Repair Install
Sometimes replacing the tank is all that is needed. Other times the problem goes further and the system needs a more complete repair install, including work on the leach field. We would rather tell you what the system actually needs than sell you the smallest fix or the biggest one. The right scope depends on what is failing and what the property can support.
What the Process Looks Like
- Talk it through. Tell us what you are seeing. We ask questions and walk you through what the process involves.
- Site visit. We look at the property, the existing system, and what is around it.
- Plan and permit. A replacement still goes through the county, so we take care of the plan submittal and permit as needed.
- Replace the tank. Our crew excavates, sets the new tank, and reconnects the system.
- Explain how to care for it. We show you how to use the new system so you avoid short-term, expensive problems.
A Straight Answer, Even When It Costs Us
We keep it simple: we do what we said we would do. If we make a mistake on a job, we own it and fix it. We want you to be able to trust that we will answer the phone, tell you the truth about your system, and follow through.
Our Own Crew and Equipment
Tank replacement is heavy, precise work. We install with our own crew and our own equipment, so scheduling and the quality of the work stay in our hands.
