Plumbing work, from the fixture to the drainfield

Most plumbers stop at the foundation wall. On a septic property, that's exactly where the interesting problems start.

Why call a septic company for plumbing

On a property with a septic system, plumbing symptoms and septic symptoms look identical from inside the house. Slow drains, gurgling and odors can be a fixture problem, a line problem, a tank problem or a drainfield problem. A plumber who doesn't work on septic systems can only rule out the first two. We can diagnose the whole chain, which means fewer visits and no finger-pointing between two contractors.

What we handle

  • Drain and sewer line repair and replacement, inside and out
  • Cleanout installation. If your property doesn't have one, every future service call costs more than it needs to
  • Line locating and camera inspection
  • Blockage clearing and hydro jetting
  • Fixture and connection repairs where they're contributing to a system problem
  • Septic-side plumbing: risers, lids, filters, distribution boxes and pump connections
Being straight about scope. We're a septic company that does plumbing, not a full-service plumbing outfit. If you need a water heater, a repipe or gas work, we'll tell you and point you at someone who does that properly. What we're genuinely better at than a general plumber is anything where the drain side meets the septic system.

The diagnosis problem, and why it costs people money

Here's a scenario we see constantly. A homeowner has slow drains. They call a plumber. The plumber snakes the line, charges for the visit, and it works for two months. It comes back. They call the plumber again. Same result. Eventually somebody suggests the septic tank, and by then the drainfield has been taking on solids for six months.

The reverse happens too. Someone calls a septic company, gets the tank pumped, and the problem persists because it was actually a collapsed line under the driveway.

The fix is to diagnose the whole chain at once: fixture, line, tank, field. That's a single visit and a single answer, and it's the reason septic customers are better served by a contractor who works on both sides of the wall.

Signs it's the septic system, not the plumbing

  • Every drain in the house is slow, not just one. One fixture is plumbing. All of them is the system.
  • The lowest fixtures back up first. Basement or ground floor toilets and showers.
  • Gurgling when a different fixture is used.
  • Symptoms worsen after heavy use, laundry day, or a house full of guests.
  • Anything visible outdoors: soggy ground, odor or greener grass over the field.

If you're seeing the last one, don't call a plumber. Call us about the system.

Plumbing Services FAQs

Questions we get about this

Do you do general plumbing or just septic work?
We handle drain and sewer lines, cleanouts, blockages, jetting, camera work and the plumbing that connects to a septic system. We're not a full-service plumbing company, so for water heaters, repipes or gas work we'll point you to someone who does that properly.
How do I know if my problem is plumbing or septic?
If one fixture is slow, it's usually plumbing. If every drain in the house is slow, if the lowest fixtures back up first, or if there's soggy ground or odor over the drainfield outside, it's the system. When it isn't obvious, we diagnose the whole chain in one visit rather than guessing.
Should I install a cleanout?
If your property doesn't have one, yes. It's a modest one-time cost that makes every future service call faster and cheaper, because we can access the line properly instead of working around the lack of an access point.
Can you camera a line before digging?
Yes. On recurring problems it's usually money well spent, because it tells us exactly where and what the problem is instead of excavating on a best guess.
