What We Do in towns statewide

Below is every septic service available in communities statewide. Each one has its own page with more detail on what the work includes and how it is priced.

  • Septic Tank Cleaning

    Septic tank cleaning in local properties goes further than a quick pump-out. The tank is pumped, then the walls, baffles and corners are washed down so built-up sludge and hardened scum come out too.

  • Emergency Septic Service

    Emergency septic service in local properties handles sewage backing up into the house, overflowing tanks, alarms going off and toilets that will not flush. The first step is stopping more water from going down the drains.

  • Septic Tank Repair

    Septic tank repair in your area fixes cracked tanks, broken baffles, damaged inlet and outlet pipes, leaking seams and failed lids. Many problems can be repaired without replacing the whole tank.

  • Drain Field Repair

    Drain field repair in local properties fixes soggy ground, sewage odors and slow drains caused by a struggling leach field. Common causes include crushed lines, root intrusion, clogged gravel and solids washed out of an overdue tank.

  • Septic Inspection

    A septic inspection in communities statewide checks the tank, the baffles, the liquid level, the drain field and every part of the system for signs of trouble. It is the best way to catch problems before they turn into backups.

  • Septic Tank Installation

    Septic tank installation in your town covers new systems for new homes, additions and properties moving off failed systems. It starts with a site evaluation and the soil testing your county requires.

  • Grease Trap Pumping

    Grease trap pumping in your area empties the fats, oils and grease that restaurants, cafeterias and commercial kitchens collect in their traps. Full traps cause backups, odors and code violations.

  • Septic Tank Replacement

    Septic tank replacement in homes and businesses statewide removes or abandons a failed tank and installs a new one. Old steel tanks rust through, and older concrete tanks can crack or collapse.

  • Real Estate Septic Inspection

    A real estate septic inspection in your part of the state gives buyers, sellers and lenders a clear picture of the system before a sale closes. Many lenders and some counties require one.

  • Drain Field Replacement

    Drain field replacement in your area builds a new leach field when the old one has failed beyond repair. The new field is sized to the household and the soil, and usually needs a permit and a soil test.

  • Septic Tank Locating

    Septic tank locating in local properties finds a tank that is buried, unmarked or lost after a move or a landscaping project. Crews use probes, line tracing and electronic locators to pinpoint the tank and its lids.

  • Septic Backup Cleanup

    Septic backup cleanup in communities statewide deals with sewage that has come back up through floor drains, toilets or tubs. The tank is pumped to stop the backup and the cause is found.

  • Septic Line Repair

    Septic line repair in towns statewide fixes cracked, crushed, separated or root-filled pipes between the house and the tank, or between the tank and the drain field.

  • Septic Tank Riser Installation

    Septic tank riser installation in your part of the state brings the tank lids up to ground level. Without risers the lids are buried, so every pump-out starts with digging.

  • Septic Lid Replacement

    Septic lid replacement in homes and businesses statewide swaps cracked, broken or unsafe lids for new secure covers. A damaged lid is a fall hazard and lets rainwater into the tank.

  • Septic Baffle Repair

    Septic baffle repair in your area fixes or replaces the inlet and outlet baffles that keep scum and sludge inside the tank. A missing outlet baffle sends solids straight into the drain field.

  • Effluent Filter Cleaning

    Effluent filter cleaning in your town removes the build-up on the filter at the tank outlet. The filter stops small solids reaching the drain field, but it slowly clogs and can cause slow drains and backups.

  • Septic Pump Repair

    Septic pump repair in communities statewide fixes the effluent pumps used in systems where the drain field sits higher than the tank, or in mound and pressure systems.

  • Lift Station Service

    Lift station service in local properties covers the pump chambers that move wastewater uphill to a tank, sewer main or drain field. Homes, subdivisions and commercial sites all use them.

  • Aerobic Septic System Service

    Aerobic septic system service in homes and businesses statewide keeps ATU systems working: the air pump, diffusers, chlorinator, spray heads and alarms all need regular checks. Many counties require a maintenance contract for aerobic units.

  • Septic Line Jetting

    Septic line jetting in towns statewide uses high-pressure water to clear grease, sludge, scale and roots from the lines to the tank and the drain field.

  • Septic Camera Inspection

    A septic camera inspection in homes and businesses statewide sends a waterproof camera through the lines to show cracks, roots, sags, blockages and separated joints.

  • Septic Maintenance Plans

    Septic maintenance plans in towns statewide put pumping and inspections on a regular schedule, so the tank never gets too full and small problems are caught early.

  • Commercial Septic Service

    Commercial septic service in communities statewide covers restaurants, churches, schools, offices, RV parks, campgrounds and farms. Larger tanks and heavier use mean more frequent pumping.

  • Septic Service

    Septic service in towns statewide covers everything a septic system needs over its life: pumping, cleaning, inspections, repairs, filter cleaning and drain field care.
