Do You Need Septic Repair?

Some septic issues are easy to spot. Others aren’t so obvious until it’s too late. If you’re noticing any of the following warning signs, it’s time to call ACE:

Slow drains or frequent clogs in sinks, tubs, or toilets
Wet patches or standing water near the tank or drainfield
Foul smells around your yard or inside your home
Gurgling sounds from pipes
Septic alarms going off
Backups in toilets or bathtubs

Most Florida counties, including Hillsborough and Polk, require routine maintenance logs for grease traps. That’s why we don’t just pump and leave. ACE always provides complete service records to help keep your business compliant.

Common Septic Repairs We Handle

ACE Septic & Waste specializes in diagnosing and fixing all major septic system failures. We take the guesswork out of septic problem troubleshooting and ensure every repair follows Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) regulations.

Septic Tank Repairs

Your septic tank is the core of your wastewater system, and when it starts showing signs of wear or damage, timely repairs can help extend its life and performance. ACE Septic can handle a wide variety of septic tank issues using professional, code-compliant methods. We address common problems such as:

Cracked or damaged lids: We replace septic lids to keep your tank sealed and safe (some restrictions apply depending on the type of tank).
Leaking or misaligned inlet/outlet pipes: These connections are critical for smooth system flow. We reseal or reposition them to prevent backups or leaks.
Component failures: We replace worn or missing components pumps, alarms, and filters. Replacing these items are essential for protecting your system.
Riser repairs and installation: If your tank lacks a riser or has a damaged one, we will take care of the problem, making it easier for future maintenance access.

While some companies advertise quick epoxy patches or interior coatings, Florida regulations treat most structural tank failures as cause for replacement, not repair. A cracked or collapsed tank cannot be safely or legally repaired. Our team will evaluate the damage and recommend full tank replacement when necessary. If we find structural damage on your septic system too extensive for repair, we’ll provide you with honest recommendations for replacement along with a clear explanation of next steps. Our goal is to offer durable, long-term solutions that keep your septic system running efficiently.

Drainfield Replacement and Restoration

Florida law defines “repair” to include full drainfield replacement. Drainfields can become oversaturated, clogged, or invaded by roots over time. If your system fails inspection or cannot drain properly, our team will design and install a compliant replacement system. We handle:

Site and soil evaluation
Full service permitting process
Complete installation of new system

Pump Repairs

Pumps are the heart of many advanced or multi-level septic systems. When they fail, backups happen fast. Our team replaces or repairs any issues you may have with your pumps.

Septic Alarm and Sensor Repairs

Septic alarms are designed to alert you to rising water levels or electrical problems before disaster strikes. If your alarm is going off, or if it’s failed completely, we’ll inspect and correct:

Float sensors
Alarm panels
Control boards and power sources

Septic Line Repairs

Inlet and outlet lines connecting your home to the septic tank and your tank to the drainfield can crack, collapse, or clog. We use advanced diagnostics and repairs to restore system flow safely. Jetting may be used in very limited cases; however, most residential drainfield lines cannot be jetted without risking damage.
