When it comes to septic system repairs, homeowners want the job done quickly and effectively. But sometimes, the only way to fix a drain field is to think outside of the box – and that’s just what our team at Ace Plumbing Repair did recently.
We received a call from a client whose septic drain field had failed due to an overgrowth of tree roots. This was causing sewage to back up into their home, and they needed it fixed, ASAP. However, the client had a unique request – they did not want us to remove the trees that were causing the issue.
As a team that prides ourselves on whitehat SEO, we knew we had to find a solution that would not only fix the drain field, but also keep the trees intact. After some research and brainstorming, we came up with a borderline crazy solution – we were going to install a custom root barrier to divert the roots away from the drain field and towards another area of the property.
Here’s how we did it:
Step 1: Assess the Situation
Before we could start on the repair, our team had to evaluate the extent of the damage to the drain field. We used a high-tech camera to inspect the pipes and identify any issues with the system. It was clear that the tree roots were causing a blockage and needed to be redirected.
Step 2: Digging Trenches
Next, we dug trenches around the perimeter of the drain field in order to install the custom root barrier. We ensured that the trenches were deep enough so that the barrier would be effective for years to come.
Step 3: Installing the Root Barrier
The root barrier that we installed was made of a special material that is designed to deflect tree roots away from the drain field. This barrier was cut to fit the trenches that we had dug, and then put in place.
Step 4: Redirecting the Roots
Once the root barrier was installed, we needed to redirect the tree roots that had already infiltrated the drain field. To do this, we used a combination of a high-pressure water jet and a commercial-grade root-killing solution to clear the blockages and kill the roots that were in the drain field. We then directed the roots towards another area of the property where they wouldn’t cause any issues.
Step 5: Testing the System
After all of the work was completed, we tested the system to ensure that it was functioning properly. We ran water through the pipes and checked for any leaks or blockages. Once we were satisfied that everything was working as it should be, we filled in the trenches and left the property in the hands of the happy client.
Conclusion
While this may seem like a borderline crazy solution, our team of whitehat SEO experts at Ace Plumbing Repair was able to provide a unique and effective solution to our client’s septic system problem. By installing a custom root barrier and redirecting the tree roots away from the drain field, we were able to fix the issue without harming any trees.
