Find the cause
Tank damage, plumbing blockages and field failure can look similar. Use the symptoms and history to narrow the scope.
Repair individual parts
Covers, fittings, filters and mechanical equipment may be repairable when the rest of the system is sound.
Assess structural damage
Cracks, leaking seams and deteriorated partitions need careful evaluation. A patch is not always the right answer.
Check the authorization
Ask New Hanover County how the proposed scope is classified. Repairs, alterations, tank replacements and total replacements can follow different requirements.
Price the complete scope
A clear proposal covers access, the failed component, approvals, testing and restoration.
