Most plumbers stop at the foundation wall. On a septic property, that's exactly where the interesting problems start.
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.
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.
If you're seeing the last one, don't call a plumber. Call us about the system.
