The company, headquartered at 8251 Mayfield Rd Suite 32 in Chesterland, OH 44026, understands that a failing tank creates urgent problems for homeowners — from unpleasant odors and slow drains to the risk of sewage backup and soil contamination — and approaches every replacement project with the urgency and care the situation demands. Septic tanks deteriorate through several different mechanisms depending on their age, material, and the specific conditions of the site. Concrete tanks, which are the most commonly installed type throughout Ohio and represent the majority of tanks that DiFranco replaces, are vulnerable to cracking as they age. The combination of soil pressure, freeze-thaw cycling, and the gradual chemical effects of hydrogen sulfide gas on the concrete's internal surfaces contributes to structural degradation over time. Cracks allow groundwater to enter the tank, which dilutes the septic effluent and disrupts the biological treatment process, and can also allow untreated wastewater to escape into the surrounding soil — a serious environmental and public health concern. Steel tanks, which were widely installed in Ohio properties during the mid-twentieth century, face a different but equally serious degradation pathway. The interior atmosphere of a functioning septic tank contains hydrogen sulfide gas produced by anaerobic bacteria during the decomposition of organic matter. This gas combines with moisture on the interior walls of the tank to form sulfuric acid, which attacks the steel and gradually thins the tank walls from the inside. In many cases, steel tanks that appear structurally sound from the outside have severely compromised walls that can fail suddenly and without warning. When DiFranco Septic Systems undertakes a tank replacement, the process includes a thorough assessment of all connected system components to ensure that the new tank is integrated into a fully functional system. The drain field, distribution box, and all pipe connections are evaluated, and any issues identified during this assessment are addressed as part of the overall project. DiFranco serves Chesterland, Chardon, Mentor, Willoughby Hills, Hambden, Newbury, and Auburn Township, delivering the same standard of thorough, professional septic tank replacement work to every community in their service area.
