Drain Field Repair and Replacement
Diagnosis and repair for wet, slow or failing drain fields.
The drain field is where treated water soaks back into the ground. When it stops absorbing, water has nowhere to go and shows up in the yard or back in the house.
We work out why the field is struggling before recommending anything. Sometimes it is a blocked line or a failed distribution box. Sometimes the field needs to be replaced.
What is included
- Checking the distribution box and each lateral line
- Clearing or replacing blocked and broken lines
- Replacing part or all of a failed field
- Handling permits and inspections with the county health department
When to call
- Standing water or soggy ground over the field
- Grass that is much greener over the lines than elsewhere
- Sewage smell in the yard
- Backups that return soon after the tank is pumped

Questions about drain field repair and replacement
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.
