Professional Mississauga Septic Tank Replacement Services

A septic tank is a system used in homes that aren’t connected to the city’s sewer lines. It collects wastewater from your house, like from toilets and sinks. The wastewater flows into the tank, where it begins to separate.

At the bottom of the tank, bacteria break down the solid waste. The liquid part then moves out into a drain field. Here, the soil filters and absorbs the water, cleaning it before it goes back into the ground. It’s a simple system, but it needs regular care to keep everything working smoothly.

How a Septic Tank Functions? 

A septic tank works by treating wastewater from your home in a few simple steps. 

• First, wastewater from toilets, sinks, and other drains flows into the tank. Once inside, the tank separates the solid waste from the liquid.
• The solid waste settles at the bottom, where bacteria begin to break it down. 
• The liquid waste then moves out of the tank and into a drain field.
• In the drain field, the surrounding soil acts as a filter and removes any remaining impurities from the water before it is absorbed back into the ground.

Not every property needs the same type of septic tank. We look at your home’s size, water use, and soil before choosing what fits best. Here is a simple guide to the options we offer:

1. Concrete Septic Tanks

Concrete tanks are tough and built to last. They handle large amounts of waste without any issue. Many homeowners choose them for their strength. But they are heavy, so you will need trained pros to install them right and avoid cracks in the future.

2. Plastic Septic Tanks

These tanks are light and easy to set up. They work well for smaller homes or places that don’t use too much water. They won’t rust like metal tanks, but if not installed carefully, they can move around in soft soil.

3. Fiberglass Septic Tanks

Fiberglass tanks are strong and don’t rust or crack easily. They weigh less than concrete but still hold up well over time. These tanks are a smart pick for spots with high water tables because they’re less likely to shift or float.

4. Aerobic Septic Tanks

Aerobic tanks break down waste using oxygen. They treat water faster and better than regular tanks. These need electricity to run, but work great for homes with small yards or poor soil conditions.

Septic tanks have their expiry dates. Over time, they wear out. And if you notice any problems below, it’s time to consider a replacement:

• If water drains slowly or backs up, your system isn’t handling waste properly.
• A strong sewage smell means your tank might be full, leaking, or failing.
• If you spot water collecting on the ground, your tank might be leaking or broken.
• This often means waste is leaking into the soil and acting like fertilizer.
• Any structural damage can lead to leaks, soil contamination, and bigger plumbing issues.

1. Inspection and Check Up – First, we inspect your current system and figure out what needs to be replaced.

5. Test and Clean Up – Before we leave, we test the system to be sure it works perfectly and tidy up the work area.

Replacing a septic tank is a big but worthwhile investment for your home. Most projects cost between $5,000 and $15,000, depending on the work needed.

The final price depends on a few factors:

• Tank size – Bigger tanks cost more.
• Soil type – Hard or rocky ground makes digging tougher and adds to the bill.
  Permit fees – The city charges for permits, and the cost can vary.
• Excavation needs – Deeper or tricky spots take more time and work, which raises the price.
