Site Repair Procedure

 

 
Before You Start

  1. A sewage septic repair permit is required if you alter, repair, move or install any portion of a septic tank, dosing tank or absorption field.  Click here to see the law (PA Code) related to this requirement.


What You Can Do Without a Permit

  1. You are allowed to uncover the septic tank and the sewage lines from the house to the septic tank and from the sepetic tank to the absorption field without a repair permit.

  2. You are allowed to repair or replace the sewage lines inside the building only without a repair permit.

 


When a Repair Permit is Issued. . .

  1. When a repair permit is issued for a new system installation, there will be 3 inspections.  (See the Inspection Requirements page for details on these 3 inspections.)  Other types of repairs might have only 1 or 2 of these inspections, so see your SEO for specifics on your job.
