Locate the Failure
Check the inlet, outlet, filter and accessible tank components. A high liquid level can also come from a field or dosing problem.
Choose a Targeted Repair
Some fittings, risers, filters or equipment can be replaced. Structural damage needs a separate condition and replacement assessment.
Check the Repair Permit Scope
Charlotte’s repair pathway differs from a new system. Tank certification, site details and water-use history may be needed.
Groundwater Matters
Leaks can let groundwater into the system or let wastewater escape. Check wet-weather symptoms instead of assuming normal tank solids caused the problem.
Repair or Replace?
Compare condition, approved capacity and remaining components. Explain why a repair is suitable before committing to the work.
