Septic System Services

All permits for repairs are obtained by our office and duplicates of all paperwork are provided to the owner upon job completion to simplify the process for our customers. Septic repairs can range from a damaged or blocked pipe to a completely new engineered replacement system based on the results of the inspection.

Septic tank failure is very common in older homes. Many septic tanks that we come across during an inspection, or failures found by the customer are made from steel or cement block. Neither of these materials were designed to be submerged for a long period of time. Cement block starts to crumble until dirt starts falling into the tank creating a depression in your yard. Steel tanks rot out on all sides and usually look like swiss cheese when removed. Depending on the location of a customer’s tank determines if it will be replaced with a precast concrete tank or a poly tank.

We offer all approved styles of septic field replacement, including convention pipe and gravel, infiltrators and similar chambers, Eljen units, etc.

The inspection of a septic system is not a quick or simple task. The majority of our customers looking for a septic inspection are in the process of buying a home. With the cost of repairs or remediation (engineered design) of a septic system, in addition to the requirements of the local health departments, it is extremely important to have a complete inspection of all system components to determine the cause of failure.

Many of our competitors limit septic inspection to the septic tank only. Although this is important, there are other parts of the system that may still be in need of repair or replacement and would otherwise be overlooked, which could potentially cost the new home buyer thousands of dollars down the road.

When we come to a home to inspect the system, we also start with the inspection of the septic tank for structural integrity and baffle. We then move on in the system to the distribution box or junction box, depending on type of system. It is at this point that we can get a good idea of system functionality.

Upon completing our inspection we provide a report of the system condition and a new or updated map (as-built) of the septic system.

Septic pump system installation/repairs for sewage and effluent pumps, float switches and control panels.

The Terra Lift machine has been an alternative option for septic rejuvenation. We usually offer this as a less expensive repair option, to buy the home owner some time when the cost of replacement is too high. This option is also a good solution for a septic area that has been compacted or was installed with low quality, low percolation, bank run sand.

There are many different options for alternative septic systems that are usually used in very specific situations. These systems include the addition of air pumps, aerobic units, special dosing controls, alternative media such as Eljen units, treatment units, SoilAir, peat moss systems, and many more. We offer new installation, repairs, and maintenance on any style of system.
