Septic Repair and Drain Field Service, explained.
Septic systems usually give warnings before they fail: slow drains, gurgling, wet or unusually green patches over the field, odors and backups. The cause might be a full tank, a broken line, a clogged distribution box, a crushed pipe or a drain field that can no longer absorb water.
We uncover the tank, risers, boxes and lines to find where the problem is. Repairs range from replacing a broken pipe or baffle to rebuilding a section of the field. A failing field is a bigger decision, and we explain the options, including when repair is not enough and a replacement is the answer.
Signs this service fits
- Drains are slow and the tank has been pumped
- There are wet or smelly areas over the field
- A line or box is damaged or has collapsed
- Sewage backs up into the home
A good fit, and what to know.
