Expert Septic Tank Replacements in Andover

Is your aging septic tank causing you constant headaches? Are repairs becoming more frequent and costly? It might be time for a septic tank replacement, and Benjamin Franklin Plumbing® of Andover and the surrounding communities is here to make the process seamless, affordable, and stress-free.

Signs You Need a Septic System Replacement

Some common signs indicate you need a septic system replacement before it stops working completely. Look out for the following:

  • Backed-up plumbing fixtures: If you notice fixtures like sinks and toilets draining slowly or frequently backing up, this signals a blockage.
  • Foul smells: If you notice bad smells around the drain field and septic tank or in your home, this indicates a failure or leak in the system.
  • Standing water: Wet spots or puddles in your yard, especially around the drainage field, are a sign of a malfunctioning system.

If you notice these indicators or have a septic alarm that goes off, you will likely need an emergency septic tank replacement in Andover.

Choosing the Right Septic System for Your Property

We will work with you to determine the best septic system replacement for your Andover property. Our recommended system will depend on your budget, soil conditions, groundwater levels, property size, and household water usage patterns. Once we have this information, we can recommend a system that will work best for you. Some types of systems we have available are:

  • Conventional systems: This is a standard system with a tank and a drain field.
  • Mound systems: This type is used when the soil is shallow or moist.
  • Septic tank with pump systems: This system is used in areas where gravity flow isn't possible or there is high groundwater.
  • Drip distribution systems: This is a system of small pipes that pull effluent and distribute it over the drain field. It's used on small properties.
