Signs You Need Septic Repair

A septic system usually gives you some warning before it quits. If you see or smell any of these, it’s time to call:

  • Slow or gurgling drains throughout the house
  • Sewage backing up in tubs, showers, or toilets
  • Foul odors inside or around the tank and drain field
  • Wet, soggy, or unusually lush spots in the yard near the system
  • Alarm light or buzzer going off on your aerobic system

These symptoms can indicate anything from a simple blockage to a failing drain field or damaged tank, and delaying repair usually makes the fix more expensive.​

What We Repair

Kinards handles all common septic repairs on residential systems—emergency and scheduled.

We repair:

  • Backups and blockages between the house and tank
  • Broken, crushed, or offset pipes in the yard
  • Pump, float, and control box problems
  • Alarm and electrical issues on aerobic systems
  • Damaged lids, risers, and access points
  • Drain field issues such as surfacing effluent and soggy areas

If you’re not sure exactly what’s wrong, that’s okay—describe what you’re seeing or smelling when you call or text, and we’ll troubleshoot from there.​

Emergency vs. Scheduled Septic Repair

Some problems just can’t wait. Kinards treats anything involving sewage in the home, active backing up, or strong odors in living areas as an emergency.

  • Emergency repair
    • Backups into tubs, showers, or toilets
    • Strong sewage smells inside the home
    • Alarm sounding and tank visibly near overflow
  • Scheduled repair
    • Slow drains that aren’t yet backing up
    • Occasional smells outside near the tank
    • Suspected leaks, old lids, or minor issues caught early

In both cases, you get the same process: real person answers, owner on site, clear options, and upfront expectations before any work begins.​

Our Repair Process

    • Once you approve, we repair lines, pumps, controls, or drain field components as needed and test everything before we leave.
  5. We clean up and advise

Frequently Asked Questions About Septic Installation

The choice depends on your soil type, space, slope, and county rules. After a site evaluation and soil work by a licensed pro, we’ll explain which systems are allowed on your property and what each option means in terms of cost, maintenance, and performance.
Most residential installs take a few days on site once permits and designs are approved, depending on weather, soil conditions, and access. The planning and permitting phase can take longer, which is why it’s smart to get started early in your building process.
Yes, Kinards can remove failed tanks and lines as part of a replacement system, then install a new approved system in their place or in a better location on your property.
If you’re planning a new home or major addition, it’s best to call before you finalize your plans so septic design can be considered with driveways, wells, and building placement. That helps avoid surprises and redesigns later.
If your septic system is backing up, smelling bad, or just not acting right, don’t wait for it to get worse.
