Drain Field Repair
Fix Clogs, Compaction, or Drainage Problems
A failing drain field can cause slow drains, sewage backups, and standing water in your yard. We diagnose and repair issues like clogs, soil compaction, and poor drainage, aiming to restore your system without full replacement.
Where full replacement is needed, we also provide complete drain field replacement services to ensure long-term performance.
Septic Drain Field Repair Services
Our drain field repair services focus on restoring proper wastewater absorption and system function without the need for a full replacement.
This process can involve clearing clogs from pipes or distribution lines, aerating compacted soil to improve absorption, and using hydro jetting to remove sludge buildup. In some cases, repairs may include replacing damaged or collapsed pipes, expanding the drain field to handle wastewater more effectively, or cleaning and replacing effluent filters to prevent future issues.
Our goal is to extend the life of your system, but when repairs aren’t enough, we also handle full drain field replacements.

Signs of a Failing Drain Field
Slow Drains
When sinks, tubs, and toilets drain slowly or make gurgling sounds, this is an indication of a drainage issue within the system.
Sewage Backups
Wastewater backing up into your home is a clear sign that your system is not properly dispersing effluent.
Standing Water or Soggy Soil
Puddles or consistently wet ground near your drain field suggest poor absorption and potential system failure.
Foul Odors
A strong sewage smell around your yard or drain field area can mean wastewater isn’t breaking down and dispersing properly.
Lush, Overgrown Grass
An unusually green or fast-growing patch of grass over the drain field may indicate excess moisture from an overloaded system.
