Septic Tank Replacement

Septic Tank Replacement in Spartanburg

A cracked or corroded tank leaks effluent into the ground and lets groundwater in, overloading the drainfield and shortening its life. Burningbrides removes the failed tank and sets a new watertight unit, most often a 1,000 to 1,500 gallon concrete, polyethylene (HDPE), or fiberglass tank matched to your household size. We reconnect the Schedule 40 PVC inlet and outlet lines and add an effluent filter to protect the field.

Why Replace Instead of Repair

Some tanks can be patched, but a tank with a cracked baffle, a collapsed lid, or a corroded outlet is usually cheaper to replace than to keep chasing. A new tank with gasketed riser rings brought to grade also makes every future pump out and inspection faster and cleaner. Homeowners near Union Street often find a replacement pays for itself in avoided drainfield damage.

Our Process

We locate and pump the old tank, excavate around it, remove it, and prepare a level, compacted bearing surface. We set the new tank, seal the joints with butyl gasket rope, plumb the inlet and outlet baffles, install the effluent filter and risers, and backfill. The county inspects the set before the tank is covered.
