Trace the Problem
Check accessible inlet, outlet, filter and pump components. High liquid levels can also reflect a downstream field problem.
Assess Structural Condition
Review shell damage, lids and seals. A patch is unsuitable when the tank cannot retain its structural integrity.
Confirm Repair Approval
Iredell reviews malfunctioning systems and permits repairs. Ask which documents, evaluation and inspection steps apply to the actual work.
Plan Safe Access
Buildings, slopes and tight yards affect excavation and equipment access. Locate utilities before digging.
Compare the Practical Options
Explain the repair’s purpose and limitations. Replacement may be more suitable when condition, capacity or the approved design requires it.
