Professional septic Tank replacement

---

Septic system failures can be catastrophic, and for this homeowner in Yokuts Valley, the collapse of an old steel tank nearly led to disaster—almost swallowing their vehicle. Years of rust and erosion had caused the tank to deteriorate, ultimately resulting in its complete failure.

Upon inspection, we found that the existing steel septic tank had severely corroded due to prolonged exposure to moisture and the naturally occurring gases within the system. Over time, hydrogen sulfide gas—a byproduct of wastewater decomposition—reacts with water to form sulfuric acid, which aggressively eats away at steel. This chemical reaction, combined with constant soil moisture, accelerates rust and structural weakening, eventually leading to total failure. The situation required immediate attention to prevent further property damage and restore the septic system’s functionality.

To address the issue, we took the following steps:

• Coordinated with a trusted pumping company to extract any remaining waste before tank removal.
• Safely removed and legally disposed of the failed tank, ensuring compliance with environmental regulations.
• Excavated and removed saturated soil from the base of the tank site to provide a stable foundation.
• Leveled, compacted, and prepped the excavation to ensure proper support for the new installation.
• Installed a new septic tank, retrofitting it to the existing system for seamless integration.

With the new septic tank installed and properly connected, the homeowner now has a fully functional, secure wastewater system. This project not only restored essential services but also prevented further property damage from unstable ground conditions.

Septic tanks have a lifespan, and failing to replace them in time can lead to hazardous collapses and costly repairs. If you’re experiencing septic issues, Regier Construction provides expert solutions to ensure long-term reliability.
