Professional Etobicoke Septic Tank Replacement Services

A septic tank treats wastewater for homes that aren’t connected to the city’s sewer system. It’s an underground setup that collects water from your sinks, toilets, showers, and kitchen. Once the water enters the tank, the system separates and treats it before releasing it into the ground.

How a Septic Tank Functions:

1. Wastewater Collection: All the wastewater from your house flows into the septic tank through one main pipe.
2. Solids and Liquids Separation: Heavier waste settles at the bottom as sludge. Lighter waste like grease floats to the top, forming a layer called scum.
3. Bacterial Breakdown: Natural bacteria in the tank break down the solid waste and reduce its volume.
4. Liquid Waste Discharge: The treated liquid flows out into a drain field through outlet pipes
5. Absorption and Purification: The surrounding soil absorbs this water and removes harmful bacteria and other pollutants.

We offer different types of septic tanks based on your property’s requirements. Here are the main options:

1. Concrete Septic Tanks

These are very strong and last for many years. They handle large volumes of wastewater and work well in most weather. But due to their weight, they need expert installation to avoid future damage like cracks or leaks.

2. Plastic Septic Tanks

Plastic tanks are light and easy to install. They work well for small spaces or homes with lower water use. Since they don’t rust, they last long, but they must be secured properly to stay in place.

3. Fiberglass Septic Tanks

Fiberglass tanks are tough, don’t rust, and resist cracking. They are lighter than concrete and work great in places with a high water table. These tanks stay stable and don’t shift easily underground.

4. Aerobic Septic Tanks

These systems use oxygen to break down waste faster. They need power to run, but offer better waste treatment. They’re a smart choice for homes with small yards or poor soil that can’t absorb much water.

Septic tanks don’t last forever. If you notice these issues, it might be time for a replacement:

• Water drains slowly or backs up in sinks and toilets.
• You smell bad odors near the tank or around your yard.
• Pooled water forms near the tank area even when it hasn’t rained.
• The grass above the tank looks greener or grows faster than the rest of your lawn.
• You spot cracks or other damage to the tank’s structure.

Replacing a septic tank isn’t just about digging. It needs planning, permits, and proper execution. At TrustFlow, we follow a clear process to make the replacement smooth for you:

1. Inspection and Assessment – Our team inspects your current setup and checks the condition of your tank, soil, and plumbing system. This helps us figure out the best replacement option for your home.
2. Planning and Permits – We take care of all the required approvals and paperwork, so your installation follows all local Etobicoke codes and standards.
3. Excavation and Removal – We safely dig out and remove the damaged tank. Our crew prepares the ground to make sure it’s ready for the new system.
4. New Tank Installation – Our team places the new septic tank in the right position, connects it to your plumbing lines, and ensures proper flow for long-term performance.
5. Testing and Final Checks – Once the installation is done, we run full system tests to confirm everything works. We also clean up the site and leave your yard in good shape.

In most cases, a full septic tank replacement will cost between $5,000 and $15,000. The final price depends on many factors such as:

• Size of the tank
• Soil type and site conditions
• Depth of the old tank
• Permit and inspection fees
• Type of tank being installed
• Labor and excavation work involved
