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.

How to Switch from Septic to City Sewer
It starts with a walk-through and some detective work. We test your soil, locate every underground utility, and confirm the city sewer main is within reach—usually 300 feet or less is perfect. From there, we take on the paperwork grind: city connection agreements, county approvals to officially abandon your septic system, and any environmental clearances required. You don’t have to lift a pen—we handle it all and keep you in the loop.
Septic Tank Decommissioning
Site Assessment and Permitting
We pump out any remaining waste, then make the tank safe forever. That means drilling holes so it can’t “float” after heavy rains, and filling it with clean gravel or sand. Everything is documented for the county inspector, so you’re covered from any future liability. The old tank simply becomes harmless fill in your yard.
Trenching or Trenchless Sewer Line Installation
Final Connection and Inspection
For some projects we use trenchless pipe bursting to slide in brand-new HDPE pipe without ripping up your lawn. If your property’s soil is too rocky, we’ll dig a narrow, precise trench, install durable PVC pipe, and backfill the same day. As a bonus, we’ll redirect any downspouts so rainwater doesn’t flow into your new line.
We cut into the city main—usually alongside municipal crews—and secure a watertight saddle clamp. Then the county inspects pressure, slope, and all connections. Once it passes, we restore your yard and email you the compliance documents. Congratulations—you’re officially connected to the sewer.

Frequently Asked Questions and Our Answers
Going from septic to city sewer means zero maintenance on your end—no pumping, no surprise repairs, no failed drain fields. It can also bump your home’s value, since most buyers prefer sewer-connected properties. In many Washington cities, septic systems are being phased out in urban areas. That means switching now isn’t just smart—it could save you from scrambling later when mandates hit.
It all comes down to location. If the city’s sewer main runs within about 300 feet of your lot, you’re in good shape. We’ll confirm this by checking city utility maps and surveying your property. The best part? We do this eligibility check for free, so you’ll know exactly where you stand before spending a dime.
Yes—and quite a few of them. You’ll need city connection permits, septic system abandonment certificates, and in some cases, county grading approvals. The good news? We handle every single step, coordinate with the agencies, and only bring you in for the signature.
In some cases, yes. We use trenchless sewer line installation, which allows us to slide new pipes underground through small entry and exit pits. This method protects your lawn, driveway, and landscaping. When soil conditions allow, trenchless is our go-to.
Absolutely. There are no pumps to burn out, no drain fields to flood, and no backups during heavy rain or power outages. Once you’re connected, you get consistent, worry-free service year-round — just flush and forget.
