5 out of 5 stars
Our drain field was staying wet. They found a collapsed line rather than telling us to replace the whole field. Honest people.

Septic questions from Portal homeowners
How often should a septic tank be pumped?
For most homes, every three to five years. It depends on the size of the tank and how many people live in the house. A large family, a small tank or a garbage disposal all mean pumping more often. If you do not know when it was last done, it is worth having it checked.
What are the signs of a failing drain field?
Soggy ground or standing water over the field, a sewage smell in the yard, grass that is much greener over the lines, slow drains throughout the house and backups that return soon after pumping. One sign alone does not always mean the field has failed, so have it looked at before assuming the worst.
What does a real estate septic inspection include?
We locate and open the tank, check the liquid and solids levels, look at the baffles and the condition of the tank and walk the drain field for signs of failure. You get a written report to share with your agent or lender. Requirements can vary by county and lender, so tell us what yours has asked for.
What should I do during a septic backup?
Stop using water straight away. That means no flushing, showers, laundry or dishwasher. Keep children and pets away from any sewage, and do not open the tank yourself because the gases inside are dangerous. Then call us.
