What we do
Inspections
Real-estate inspections for a sale or purchase, and diagnostic checks when something seems off but you're not sure what.
Drain field trouble
Soggy spots in the yard, slow drains throughout the house, and odors outside — the symptoms that mean the field, not the tank.
Line and tank repair
Cracked lids, broken lines, failed baffles, and the collapsed pipe that shows up once we look.
New system installation
Full septic installs for new construction and replacements when a system has reached the end.
Grease traps
Restaurant and commercial grease trap pumping and cleaning on whatever schedule your kitchen needs.

Common questions
How often does a septic tank need pumping?
For most households, every three to five years, depending on tank size and how many people are in the house. If it's been longer than that and you can't remember the last time, it's time.
How do I know if something's wrong?
Slow drains all over the house at once, gurgling, sewage odor in the yard, or grass that's suddenly greener and soggier over the drain field. Any of those, call — they get more expensive the longer they wait.
Are you really open on Sunday?
Yes. Sunday 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM, Saturday 8:00 to 3:00, and 7:30 to 4:30 on weekdays.
Do you handle real-estate inspections?
Yes — inspections for buyers and sellers, with the paperwork your closing needs.
What areas do you cover?
