SEPTIC REPAIR IN MOORESVILLE, NC

SEPTIC BACKUPS ARE EMERGENCIES — CALL 704.892.5843

If you’re a homeowner in Mooresville, NC, dealing with a septic backup, you know how disruptive and messy this problem can be. Septic backups occur when there’s a clog or blockage in your home’s septic system, preventing wastewater from properly draining. This wastewater backs up into the lowest drains, flooding bathrooms, and potentially other areas in the home with raw sewage. Needless to say, septic back-ups require immediate attention.

Our experienced plumbing technicians at Ultimate Plumbing are here 24/7 to provide septic repairs and maintenance for Mooresville area homeowners. If you’re dealing with a septic tank backup, we have the expertise and equipment to diagnose the problem and get your system draining properly again.

COMMON CAUSES OF SEPTIC BACK-UPS

There are a few common causes of septic tank backups in Mooresville homes:

  • Septic Tank Clogs: Grease, solids, and other debris can build up in the septic tank over time. This material eventually clogs intake pipes or drain field lines. Tree roots can also clog pipes.
  • Drain Field Problems: If the soil around the drain field is saturated or compacted, it can prevent wastewater from filtering out of the septic tank properly. Pipes may also become cracked over time.
  • Septic Tank Backups: Sometimes, the outlet baffle or tees in the septic tank get clogged, causing a backflow of sewage.
  • Pump or Siphon Failures: Many septic systems rely on pumps or siphons to move wastewater. If these components fail, it stops the wastewater flow.

The technicians at Ultimate Plumbing have seen all of these issues when servicing Mooresville area septic systems. We can quickly diagnose the specific problem and recommend the appropriate repairs.

SEPTIC SYSTEM MAINTENANCE TIPS FOR MOORESVILLE HOMEOWNERS

To help avoid septic back-ups and expensive emergency repairs, Ultimate Plumbing recommends the following septic tank maintenance tips:

  • Have the septic tank pumped regularly every three to five years to prevent solids buildup. 
  • Have our professional plumbers inspect the tank, pipes, and drain field annually to identify potential problems early.
  • Avoid pouring fats, grease, or chemicals like paint down drains. This can cause a septic tank backup quickly.
  • Limit the use of garbage disposals and avoid non-biodegradable items.
  • Don’t use septic tank additives. These can damage your septic tank over time.
  • Conserve water to avoid overloading septic tanks
  • Fix toilet leaks right away.
  • Don’t drive vehicles over the drain field or build structures over it.
  • Keep all drains and toilets flowing freely. Don’t ignore sluggish draining.
  • Plant only grass over and near the septic tank drain field to avoid damage from roots.
  • Divert rainwater and runoff away from the septic tank drain field.

Following these tips and having a maintenance contract with Ultimate Plumbing for annual inspections and pumping can maximize the life of your Mooresville septic tank and prevent costly repairs down the road.
