Septic Repair Ottawa

Not sure where the problem is starting? Begin with a licensed Septic Tank Inspection Ottawa. If your tank is full, we’ll recommend Septic Tank Pumping Ottawa. And if wastewater is already backing up, our 24/7 Emergency Septic Service Ottawa team is ready to respond.

Common Septic Problems We Repair

  • Sewage backups in tubs, showers, or floor drains — a serious health hazard that often requires immediate action. For accurate diagnosis, book a Septic Tank Inspection Ottawa.
  • Slow drainage and gurgling toilets — usually caused by clogs, high tank levels, or line damage. If your tank is overloaded, Septic Tank Pumping Ottawa may restore proper flow.
  • Foul odours inside or outside — strong sewage smells are a red flag that wastewater isn’t being treated or contained properly.
  • Soggy or unusually green grass above the drain field — a sign that your system is leaking and contaminating soil or groundwater.
  • Outlet baffle or tee failures, collapsed or blocked lines — these prevent proper flow and can quickly lead to costly backups. Schedule a Septic Tank Inspection Ottawa to confirm the issue.
  • Cracked tanks, leaking lids, or damaged risers — issues that allow wastewater to escape or groundwater to infiltrate.
  • Root intrusion, frost heave, or settlement damage — common in Ottawa’s climate, these problems block or break pipes.

Repair or Replace? Honest Guidance First

When septic issues arise, one of the first questions homeowners ask is whether a repair will be enough — or if a full replacement is required. Our licensed team always begins with a thorough evaluation of your system: tank integrity, drain field performance, system age, groundwater conditions, soil type, and household usage.

In most cases, targeted repairs are the smarter, more affordable option. We’ll restore outlet baffles, lines, lids, or pumps whenever the structure and field remain serviceable. But when a tank is structurally compromised, or a drain field has failed beyond remediation, a replacement becomes the only long-term solution.

If replacement is required, we guide you through the entire process — from permits with the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority (RVCA) or South Nation Conservation (SNC) to full, code-compliant Septic Tank Installation Ottawa. Our goal is simple: provide clear, honest guidance and the most cost-effective path forward for your property.
