What this work addresses

  • Drains backing up and a septic tank that was recently pumped
  • A damaged or blocked line between the house and the tank
  • Gurgling or slow drains all through the house
  • Sewage backing up into a shower, tub or floor drain

What's included

  • Repairs to the line between the house and the septic tank
  • Clearing blockages in that line
  • Replacing damaged sections of the line between the house and the tank
  • Installing a cleanout where the line has none, so it can be reached next time

What we don't do

  • We do not pump, repair or remove septic tanks, and drain field work is not ours. That is septic company work.
  • Final scope and pricing are confirmed after a technician sees the job.

From the first call to the next step

  1. Tell us what is backing up and whether the tank has been pumped recently.
  2. A technician checks the line between the house and the tank to find where the problem is.
  3. If it is the line, you get the repair and its price. If it is the tank, we tell you so and you will need a septic company.
  4. Approved work is completed and the line is tested.

Where we work

Common questions

Do you pump septic tanks?

No. Pumping, tank repair and tank removal are septic company work. We handle the plumbing between the house and the tank.

How do I know if it is the line or the tank?

If the tank was pumped recently and the drains still back up, the line between the house and the tank is a common suspect. A technician checks the line first and tells you plainly if the problem is the tank, so you know to call a septic company.

Is sewage backing up into my house an emergency?

We offer 24/7 emergency service for plumbing emergencies. We count two things as emergencies: an active flood or broken water pipe, and sewage backing up into the home. Anything else is booked into the next available slot.

What is a cleanout, and why does it matter?

A cleanout is a capped access point on the line outside the house. Without one, clearing a blockage can mean pulling a toilet to get in. Where a line has none, we can install one so the next visit is simpler.
