SEPTIC DRAIN FIELD REPAIR SERVICES

Septic drain field repair is often avoidable when the proper precautions are taken. Visit Septic Maintenance for more information on how to properly maintain your septic system to avoid costly repairs.

Septic System Drainfield Failures are often a result of failing to have your septic tank pumped often enough. It is recommended to have your septic tank pumped every 3-5 years. Failing to pump your tank allows solids(sludge), oils, fats and grease(scum) to continue to accumulate over time in the tank. Accumulated sludge and scum, over time, leaves little room for wastewater in the tank. This allows the sludge and scum to spill over into the drainfield. Often, by the time you notice signs of drainfield failure, the damage has already been done.

Sometimes, septic drainfields can still fail, even with proper maintenance. This is often due to improper or poor soil conditions.
