Septic System Repair

Year-Round Septic System Repairs

When we hear the words septic tank, we often think of toilet paper and restroom waste. We forget that everything that goes down our sinks, dishwasher, and every other drain in our home goes into the septic tank. Some of those things can build up and cause unforeseen problems that require septic system maintenance. Royal Flush Septic is here to help keep your septic system healthy for both residential and commercial needs and to do any needed repairs if necessary.

Anyone with a septic system, whether in a residential home or a commercial property, can benefit from regular maintenance and timely repairs. If you’re in areas like Big Lake or Willow, septic tank care is particularly crucial due to the challenging Alaskan environment. Before we begin any septic system repairs, our team conducts a thorough inspection to identify the root cause of the problem. During the repair process, we focus on fixing issues promptly, whether it’s a septic line repair, septic pump repair, or addressing emergency repair needs. After completing the repairs, we provide guidance on maintaining your septic system to prevent future issues, ensuring long-term reliability and performance.

Septic System Maintenance To Keep Your System Healthy

Alaska is hard on many things. Your septic system is no exception. The cold of winter can make it hard to keep healthy bacteria to break the waste down. The frost in the ground can damage pipes with the heaving and settling that happens. It doesn’t help us that the whole system is under the ground, and often septic tank/system maintenance is not at the forefront of things that we need to take care of.

Over time, everything that goes into your septic system can build up. Once it reaches a certain point, excess materials that haven’t been broken down properly, or haven’t been pumped out, can cause plugs in your septic lines, and can plug up your leech field. Many of these repairs can be very costly. Regular maintenance by Royal Flush Septic is the key to a worry free and long lasting septic system.

On-Call Maintenance

Our courteous staff at Royal Flush Septic can schedule maintenance for your septic system on call, or if you like, can schedule regular maintenance so you don’t have to worry about it. When our septic professionals come out to pump your system, they also pay attention to the health of your system to try to try to catch any issues before they become big problems.

Protecting Health and the Environment

There are many reasons for safe treatment and regular septic pumping of sewage. Among these reasons are preventing the spread of infection and disease, and protecting ground water. Common pollutants caused by household wastewater are phosphorus, nitrogen, and bacteria and viruses that could cause sickness or disease. Having a properly functioning septic system will effectively remove most of these dangerous pollutants.

Approximately one quarter of homes in the United States use septic systems. That is more than 4 billion gallons of wastewater produced every day that is hidden below the ground surface by a septic system. Contaminated ground water can be caused by a septic system that is not adequately treating sewage. This contamination poses a significant threat to your health, because it can contaminate water above and below the ground, including your well, which can cause disease and infection in both people and animals. These dangers range from eye and ear infections to acute gastrointestinal illness, as well as more serious diseases such as hepatitis.
