Water Safe Septic 941-867-0021
Whether you live in Sarasota, Charlotte county or Lee County septic repair can be very frustrating at times. Water Safe Plumbing in Port Charlotte takes the worry out of these troubling times. With experience working directly with the local health department we are able to get permits turned around quickly.
Usually the health department will require an entire replacement if the unit is concrete and cracked or if it is plastic and partially collapsed. But don’t worry we have 1000 gallon tanks readily available to install. The biggest hold up in getting a replacement approved is the health departments initial inspection of the property when they determine the new septic’s elevation and location.
Most septic problems are actually not the tank but rather an old clogged up drain field. When repairing drain fields we use a product called the ARC 24 leech field chamber which is substantially more durable and effective as the standard rock leech field bed. A drain field replacement in total is usually a week long process but the drain line can be used again as soon as the chambers are set and connected.
