While repairs are sometimes unavoidable, preventative maintenance is the best way to extend the life of a septic system and reduce the likelihood of major breakdowns. Seaton Contracting encourages homeowners and property managers to schedule regular septic inspections and pumping services. During maintenance visits, our team checks the system for wear and tear, monitors effluent levels, and ensures all components are working as intended. This proactive approach saves money in the long run and offers peace of mind.
Septic systems are designed to treat wastewater safely and efficiently, but like any infrastructure, they can wear down over time or suffer from unexpected failures. Common causes of septic issues include aging components, clogged or collapsed pipes, overloading, tree root intrusion, and improper system use. If left unaddressed, these problems can lead to backups, contamination of groundwater, or even total system failure—often resulting in costly damage and health hazards.
Seaton Contracting understands the urgency of these situations. Our repair services are aimed at quickly diagnosing and resolving issues before they escalate. Regular maintenance and timely repairs help ensure the system functions properly for years to come. We understand that septic problems can’t wait, which is why we respond quickly and work efficiently to restore your system’s performance with minimal disruption to your daily life.
Seaton Contracting provides a full range of septic repair solutions tailored to the specific needs of each system. Our skilled team of technicians—led by a Registered Onsite Wastewater Practitioner (ROWP)—conducts thorough inspections to identify the root cause of the issue. From there, we implement targeted repair strategies that restore optimal system performance while minimizing disruption to the property.
Some of the most common septic repairs offered include:
Pipe and Tank Repairs: Replacing or sealing cracked, broken, or collapsed pipes and tank walls.
Drain Field Restoration: Addressing issues in the soil absorption area such as flooding, clogs, or compaction.

Catching problems early can prevent larger issues and costly replacements. Property owners should be aware of the warning signs that indicate a septic system may require professional repair:
Slow drains and gurgling toilets
Sewage backups in the home
Unusually lush or wet areas over the drain field
Foul odors around the septic tank or drain field
Alarms or warning lights on the septic panel (if equipped)
