Concrete tanks are the most common type because they are heavy, durable, and resist shifting underground. Over time, the concrete can crack or degrade from chemical exposure, which might lead to leaks. If your tank is older, a pro should check for cracks during routine maintenance. The cost of repair or replacement depends on the tank size and excavation needs. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.
