Resolving Septic Failure:

When this residential client contacted us about sewage backing up in their yard, we knew immediate action was required to resolve a potential septic system failure. Upon site inspection, our team discovered the lateral lines had completely collapsed and disintegrated over time.

As these images illustrate, the failed piping caused effluent to rise to the surface and sludge backups - an unsanitary and hazardous situation. Replacement was crucial to restoring proper wastewater flow and drainage.

Our team began by carefully excavating to access and remove the damaged lateral line sections. New PVC piping was then installed following approved techniques to connect the septic tank outlets to the sprinkler system outflow.

We also replaced old electrical components within the tank itself that had corroded. This included installing a new pump, floats, risers, and secure access lids to bring everything up to current codes.

By acting swiftly and comprehensively addressing all aged and failing parts of the system, we were able to get this property back into safe, functional condition. The homeowners now have peace of mind in a long-lasting, reliable septic solution.

No septic repair job is too large or complex for our crew. If you're experiencing backups, foul odors, or slow drainage, don't hesitate to call our team at 580-504-2815 for an expert assessment. Catching issues early prevents costlier damage down the line.
