Our 12+ year-old water heater quit working and began leaking this past Sunday. Raul Robles from Rite Way Heating, Cooling & Plumbing came out that very same day to see if the unit was repairable. Unfortunately, it was not repairable. Raul clearly reviewed all of our options with us and provided us with estimates for each option. Two days later, Rite Way sent Raul back to us and he swapped out our old broken water heater and installed a brand new unit. Raul did an amazing job, especially since he was completely by himself and water heaters are not exactly lightweight. Rite Way specialists, like Raul Robles, always handle themselves professionally and leave us with a confident feeling that our heating, cooling and plumbing systems are in good hands.

I have never had this level of service from a service provider in my life. Ramon was excellent and very thorough especially since it was a very late and last minute service request on my part.

Update Sept 3 2026 - Now that it’s been a few days the A/C unit that was installed seems to be too excessive for my home. I have a townhouse and this unit is loud, huge (they had to carve out an extra 2 feet of space in my ceiling to fit it in), and is blasting the air through the vents making the whole system way too noisy. They came and turned the fan down which seemed to help a bit but apparently the airflow cannot be calmed down. I have to turn my tv audio way up every time it comes on, and that’s downstairs from the unit. Upstairs in the bedroom and in other rooms it’s much worse. A drywall expert is coming next to fix the ceiling around the unit, so while that may help with the noisy unit itself it doesn’t sound like there are options for the noisy airflow. Will update as things develop but for now it seems they installed a new A/C unit that’s just too much for my place. ————— Update August 2026 - called RiteWay again after more issues with my A/C Unit. Jered and his teammate were sent over to take a look. This time the issue was beyond fixing as my Unit is just too old. But Jered and his coworker did what they could to help for quite some time, and I appreciate the effort. Later it was Jay who came to assess and to go over my options and we settled on a system to be the replacement. Today it was Daxton and his team who came for the installation. Did a great job despite the rain for a good part of the morning, and needing to increase the “cabinet” in my ceiling to fit the unit. A lot of work done today and it all went very well. ————— Called these guys twice this year... first was for A/C service (where water was leaking thru my vents in the ceiling down to the carpet) back in July. Matt B was sent over, and he did a great job cleaning things and replacing the piping causing the dripping, on my system that really needed a good refresh. Then this week Greg was sent over to help with two issues in my bathroom, a leaky faucet and parts that needed replacement in the toilet. Again, both issues were addressed (faster than I expected) and have a nice new faucet and functioning toilet again. Both techs were great, friendly, and did a good job explaining the sources of the issues, and going over options. Much appreciation for helping with the fixes!

Carlos was very professional and helpful in explaining the problems leading to our clogged sink, and he helped us adjust the flow in our toilet as well. Excellent worker, knowledgeable and a good communicator!

Our Commitment to Tucson, AZ

Rite Way has been taking care of septic systems across the Tucson region for years. We know how disruptive a failing system can be and we don’t drag our feet when a homeowner needs help. Whether you’re in Green Valley, Marana, Vail, or anywhere in between, you can count on Rite Way to respond quickly, repair the right way, and leave your property better than we found it.

Signs You Need Septic Tank Repair

Catching a problem early almost always means a simpler, less expensive fix. Watch for these warning signs:

  • Slow drains in multiple fixtures throughout the home
  • Gurgling sounds from toilets or sinks
  • Sewage odors inside the house or near the tank area in your yard
  • Wet, soggy, or unusually green patches of grass over the drain field or leach field
  • Sewage backing up into your home through toilets, sinks, or floor drains
  • Unusually high water bills with no clear explanation

If you’re noticing any of these, don’t wait. The longer a septic system problem goes unaddressed, the more it tends to cost.

Emergency Repair is Available

Some septic problems can’t wait until Monday morning. If your system is actively backing up, overflowing, or showing signs of failure, Rite Way offers emergency septic tank repair services across Tucson and the surrounding communities. Call us and we’ll get someone out to you as quickly as possible – because a septic emergency is exactly that.

Common Repairs We Do Include:

  • Baffle repair and replacement: Inlet and outlet baffles direct the flow of wastewater inside the tank – when they crack or deteriorate, solids can escape into the drain field. Septic tank baffle repair is one of the most common fixes we handle.
  • Septic tank pump repair: If your system uses a pump to move effluent, a failing pump can bring the whole system to a halt. We diagnose and repair or replace septic tank pumps quickly to restore normal operation.
  • Cracked tank repair: Minor cracks in a concrete tank can sometimes be sealed, though significant structural damage may call for replacement. We’ll assess the damage and give you an honest recommendation.
  • Drain field and leach field repair: Septic tank drain field repair is one of the more involved fixes but catching a failing drain field early can make the difference between a repair and a full replacement.
  • Pipe and line repair: Broken, root-damaged, or misaligned pipes between your home and the tank can cause backups and slow drains. We locate and repair the issue without unnecessary digging.
  • Distribution box repair: A damaged or uneven distribution box sends too much effluent to one part of the drain field, causing premature failure. We inspect and repair or replace it as needed.

How Much Does Septic Tank Repair Cost?

Septic tank repair costs in Tucson typically range from $500 to $1,500 for most common repairs. The final cost depends on the type of repair needed, how accessible the system is, and whether any parts need to be replaced.

More involved repairs, like drain field work or significant structural damage, may fall outside that range. Rite Way provides clear quotes before any work begins so you know exactly what to expect. If a repair isn’t the right answer and replacement makes more sense, we’ll tell you that too.

Tucson, AZ Septic Tank Repair FAQs

How do I know if my septic tank needs repair or full replacement?

If the damage is isolated, such as cracked baffle, a failing pump, a broken pipe, repair is usually the right call. If the tank has major structural damage or the drain field has failed, replacement may be more cost-effective long-term.

We handle baffle repair, pump repair, cracked tank sealing, drain field and leach field repair, pipe and line repair, and distribution box repair.

Minor surface issues aside, septic repairs involve hazardous waste and complex systems – professional repair is safer and ensures the fix actually holds.

Stop using water in the home right away and call Rite Way. A backup is a sign of an active problem that needs prompt attention.

Minor cracks in a concrete tank can often be sealed, but significant structural damage usually means replacement is the smarter long-term choice.
