Common Septic Problems We Can Help With
Backups & Clogs
Sewage coming up in tubs, showers or floor drains usually means a full tank or a blocked line.
Broken Baffles & Lids
Damaged baffles let solids escape into the drain field. Cracked lids are a safety risk.
Pump & Alarm Issues
Systems with an effluent pump depend on it working. An alarm going off needs prompt attention.
Drain Field Problems
Standing water, strong odors or lush green strips over the field can signal a failing drain field.
Root Intrusion
Tree and shrub roots can crack and block pipes between the house, tank and field.
Line Repairs
Collapsed or broken pipes between the home and the tank cause recurring backups.
What to Do Until Help Arrives

- Don't use chemical drain cleaners, which can harm the system
- Keep kids and pets away from wet areas over the tank or drain field
- Note when the problem started and what you've noticed, to help the technician
