Septic Tank Pumping
Our septic tank pumping service removes all liquids and sludge to industry standards, including effluent filter cleaning when accessible. Technicians check for bacterial imbalances and recommend enzyme replacements or repairs. With nearly 50,000 tanks pumped since 1948, we ensure thorough service backed by decades of experience and certified expertise.
Septic System Repair
We diagnose and repair septic tank decks, risers, lids, baffles, and drainfields, using code-compliant methods. Repairs include addressing sulfuric acid damage, root intrusion, and clogged leach lines. A one-year warranty covers all repairs, with technicians trained to identify structural defects and recommend cost-effective solutions over replacements when possible.
Septic Tank Installation
As a Class A licensed contractor, we design and install concrete, fiberglass, or plastic septic tanks with leach fields or seepage pits. Services include permit handling and health department inspections. Installations meet code requirements and come with a one-year warranty, ensuring durable, high-performance systems tailored to property needs.
Tank Locating Services
Using state-of-the-art electronic equipment, we locate septic tanks buried under dirt or structures. Our team safely excavates tanks for inspection or maintenance, with experience finding over 12,000 systems. Flat-rate pricing applies, and located tanks can be repaired or pumped during the same visit if needed.
Septic Inspections
We conduct thorough septic system inspections, including 20-minute water tests to assess tank integrity. Services support real estate transactions and lender requirements, with technicians checking for leaks, structural issues, and effluent flow. Results determine if repairs or replacements are necessary to maintain system functionality.
