Do You Need a Septic Replacement in New Milford?
If your septic system is more than 25 years old or constantly causing problems, repairs might no longer be enough. Septic systems aren’t built to last forever—and when they start to fail, the damage can escalate quickly.
Whether you’re in New Milford, Bridgewater, Washington, or surrounding Litchfield County towns, replacing your septic system could be the smart long-term solution.
Top Signs Your Septic System Needs Replacement
Knowing when to replace your septic system can save you from costly cleanup and environmental issues. Look for these red flags:
Persistent sewage backups or slow drains
Patches of bright green or soggy lawn above the drain field
Strong odors inside or outside the home
Tank pumping more frequently with no lasting improvement
Your system is over 25–30 years old
In some cases, a professional inspection will reveal root damage, collapsed lines, or a failing drain field—all signs a full replacement may be your only option.
