Septic system repair in Granite Falls
Our client from Granite Falls had a septic tank overflow—it hadn’t been pumped in 12 years. The next day, we arrived at 8 AM and got to work. The septic system had two compartments: one for liquid waste and one for solids. After just one visit, the client was able to use their septic system again.
Maintenance of the drainage field
A client contacted us with concerns about their drain field, reporting that the system wasn’t working properly and there was a bad smell. We quickly arrived at the site and found three main issues: the pipes were clogged with sludge, a biomat had formed and was blocking proper drainage, and the soil was partially saturated with wastewater. Our team acted fast, cleaned out the pipes, removed the biomat, and got the drain field back to working perfectly. The client was very happy with our quick response and professional service
Troubleshooting of a two-compartment septic tank
Overview
When a homeowner experiences a septic failure, the immediate concern is simple: Can I keep living in my house? But the right solution goes far beyond fixing what’s broken. This project reflects our commitment to guiding clients from urgent, stressful failures to stable, future-ready systems—while being supported every step of the way.
This homeowner reached out with an active septic backup. What began as a service call evolved into a full-system replacement, with our team providing both short-term relief and a long-term plan shaped by our experience as maintenance and monitoring professionals. Every improvement was made with the next ten years in mind—not just the next inspection.
Observations
Upon arrival, we found that the drainfield was no longer accepting effluent. Further inspection revealed that the current system was operating on only one branch of what had originally been a three-branch drainfield. At some point, the septic tank had been relocated and tied into just the final branch, significantly reducing the total drainfield area and ultimately leading to failure.
Work Completed
Rather than leaving the homeowner in limbo while permits and designs were finalized, we provided complimentary interim pumpings and guidance on restricted water use so they could remain comfortably in their home. Meanwhile, we worked with the designer to develop a system that accounted for historical changes and ensured appropriate drainfield sizing.
When installation began, we included several enhancements based on known failure points and long-term service experience:
• Plastic tanks were installed and anchored to prevent shifting due to high water tables.
• Protective mesh was placed beneath the new drainfield to prevent rodent intrusion into the drainfield cavity.
• Monitoring ports and cleanouts were added in key locations to make future maintenance more efficient.
• Camera/scope-friendly fittings were installed to streamline future troubleshooting and inspections.
These improvements weren’t just technical upgrades—they were field-informed decisions from a team that not only installs systems, but services them. Our approach is guided by what will make the system easier to care for and more reliable for the homeowner and any future technician down the line.
Concluding Recommendations and Suggestions
The homeowner now has a reliable system in place, designed for longevity and ease of care. We recommend routine maintenance and inspections to keep the system operating at peak performance and protect the investment for years to come.

Signs Your Drainfield May Be Failing
A healthy drainfield should be invisible—you shouldn’t see it, smell it, or think about it. When problems start, your yard will tell on you. Look out for these red flags:
These aren’t just annoyances—they’re signs wastewater isn’t being absorbed properly. This leads to contamination of your soil and groundwater really promptly. Call trusted drainfield repair contractors ASAP for better chances of avoiding a costly replacement.
- Soggy patches or standing water over the field (even when it hasn’t rained)
- Sewage odors drifting from the yard or near the septic tank
- Slow drains or gurgling toilets, especially if you’ve pumped recently
- Bright green, extra-lush grass right over the drainfield
- Suds or gray water pooling on the surface
These aren’t just annoyances—they’re signs wastewater isn’t being absorbed properly. This leads to contamination of your soil and groundwater really promptly. Call trusted drainfield repair contractors ASAP for better chances of avoiding a costly replacement.
Common Drainfield Problems We Fix
We don’t just patch issues—we solve the root cause so your system runs for years.
For saturated leach field repair, we test percolation rates, aerate compacted soil, and add clean gravel or sand. If your drainfield can’t be saved, we’ll tell you straight—no false promises.
- Clogged Pipes: We use high-pressure hydro-jetting to clear heavy biomat and compacted sludge that is blocking your water flow.
- Soil Saturation: Your field can’t absorb water? We'll install French drains, regrade the area, or divert excess runoff to solve this.
- Root Intrusion: Invasive tree roots crack pipes and block trenches. We remove them, reline pipes, and recommend better landscaping choices.
- Crushed Lines: Heavy vehicle traffic or construction can collapse drainfield lines. We replace damaged trenches with durable new piping.
- Biomat Overload: Too much organic buildup can choke the soil. We restore balance with oxygen injection to stimulate healthy bacteria.

Frequently Asked Questions and Our Answers
It’s the workhorse after the septic tank. Once the tank separates solids, the water moves into gravel-filled trenches underground. From there, the soil itself does the heavy lifting—bacteria in the dirt strip out the nasty stuff before the water ever touches groundwater. If it’s healthy, you never see or smell a thing.
If the grass is soggy when it hasn’t rained, if you’re catching whiffs of sewage, or if drains slow down right after a pump-out—you’ve got a problem. Some setups will even throw an alarm. We can run a quick percolation or saturation check to see what’s really going on.
Four big ones:
- Flooding it with too much water.
- Sludge or biomat plugging the lines.
- Soil packed tight from cars, tractors, or even heavy foot traffic.
- Tree roots pushing into the pipes.
Sometimes you can bring it back—blasting lines clean, aerating the soil, or adding oxygen to wake up bacteria. But if the ground won’t drain during a perc test, replacement’s the only honest answer.
If you pump the tank every three years, keep water use reasonable, and protect the field, 15–25 years is normal. With today’s materials and smart design, you can stretch that even longer.
