We have the technology, equipment, and expertise to permanently relieve clogging.

Over 80% of drain field failures are fully repairable through restoration of the aged and clogged soil.

Using certified advanced technology, we can restore and save the existing field without the need for any system replacement. When soil clogs, it slows the wastewater from flowing downward and causes raw sewage water to surface on or around the drain field.

Over time, an organic ‘biomat’ is created by the soil’s filtering action of the water through the drain field, eventually building to the point where the ground is saturated and cannot accept any more liquid. The sewage then can either come up through the ground or go backward toward your house, posing a health and safety risk for you, your family, and your property.

Wet Drain Field

What does your drain field do?

Your drain field functions as an integral part of your septic system. It filters the water that leaves your septic tank through the soil, removing pollutants and pathogens to safely re-introduce the water back into the environment.

Problems occur, however, when over time the filtering action of the soil is restricted by a slimy bacterial mucous that coats granules until they literally join together, rendering the soil impenetrable. This prevents the wastewater from draining down through the soil. We provide septic drain field repair using technology, equipment, and expertise to permanently relieve this clogging to ensure your home remains safe and your valued property protected.

Signs You Have a Serious Drain Field Issue

You may notice a problem with your drain field and assume that it will heal itself – it won’t. This issue needs to be addressed before it is too late and is beyond the point of repairability.

Signs that you have a serious drain field issue:

  • Wet spots in the yard – When your septic drain field system starts to slow down and age-out, wastewater will seep up through the grass and be soft and mushy, usually presenting some odours.
  • Black slimy substance – On the surface of the drain field or the edges surrounding it, a black slimy substance can form and is an indication that the soil is restricted or the system is malfunctioning.
  • Freezing in winter – When the wastewater is restricted and moving slowly through the drain field, it will freeze in the winter, creating a solid block of ice that cannot be melted. When this happens, no water will enter the field and the septic tank will back up. It is very common for the field to once again accept some water over summer, then freeze again every winter. Once this starts, it only gets worse, never better on its own.NOTE: A very common practice/solution is to bypass and discharge to the surface or bush when the drainage system fails. This presents a significant risk to health and safety, is illegal, and can bring fines of up to $100,000. Repair or professional service is always available and the best choice.
  • Effluent pump running too often or for long periods – The first thing you may notice if your septic drain field is becoming restricted is the pump running for long periods (bursts) or engaging more often. This is caused when the drain field can accept some water, but not the amount it should and worsens quickly. Aside from field failure, this will greatly reduce the life of the pump and burn out the motor, running a risk of backup into the house.

If you are aware of the warning signs, you can catch the problem early enough to have professional, certified repair before a replacement would be required.

Septic system
inspection & reports

It’s important to keep your septic system well maintained and up-to-date on inspections. You should be getting an annual inspection of your entire system rather than getting one when issues arise. Inspections can help prevent backups into the home, flooding, and serious damage to your property. We want to address potential problems early before they become an emergency repair or a costly replacement.

When we do a full inspection of your septic system, our on-site analysis and reporting include recommended maintenance and repairs that reflect what is on the inspection. We offer the most extensive inspections and reporting in our industry on all aspects of the septic system assessment.

These guys didn’t sugar coat my needs, so we got it done right. Sent highly skilled operators (Mike, Kelly, etc) and very personable sales people (Shane and Greg). Needed minor warranty work at one point and that was dealt with right away. Good experience.
