Concrete septic tank being installed near Syracuse, NY

Routine care

Pumping every few years, and inspections or dye tests when a house is changing hands, are the cheapest things that ever happen to a septic system and the moments problems are found.

Repairs

Baffles, lines, lids, pumps, alarms and distribution boxes wear out. Fixed early, they keep solids and excess water out of the leach field.

Replacement and new systems

When a field fails, or a lot is being built on, the soil decides the system. Around Syracuse that often means a raised or mound design, drawn up by a NYS licensed design professional and reviewed by the county.

  • Septic tank pumping

    Emptying the sludge and scum layers before they reach the leach field, on a schedule set by the tank and the household.

  • Septic inspection

    A look at the tank, the baffles, the distribution box and the field, written up so a buyer, seller or lender can act on it.

  • Septic dye test

    A tracer dye run through the plumbing, then a watch over the field for effluent coming to the surface. Useful, and limited.

  • Septic repair

    Baffles, inlet and outlet lines, cracked lids and clogged filters fixed before they turn into a field problem.

  • Leach field repair

    Finding out why a field is slowing down, and fixing the causes that can be fixed before the only answer is a new one.

  • Leach field replacement

    When the soil under the old trenches has given up, a new field in the right place, built to the state standard.

  • Septic system replacement

    Tank, distribution box and absorption field replaced together when the old system is past saving.

  • New septic installation

    From the first test hole to the final inspection, a new septic system for a lot that has never had one.

  • Mound and raised systems

    Lifting the absorption field above ground that cannot treat wastewater on its own, built in fill that has to be placed and tested properly.

  • Septic tank replacement

    Swapping a rusted, cracked or undersized tank for a properly sized concrete one, without touching a field that still works.

  • Septic backup

    Finding out whether it is a clogged line, a full tank or a failing field, and fixing the right one first.

  • Septic alarm and pump repair

    When the alarm sounds on a pumped or raised system, finding out whether it is a float, a pump or the controls.

  • Tank locating and risers

    Locating a tank nobody can find, and fitting a riser so the next visit starts with a shovel instead of a search.

  • Distribution box replacement

    The small box that splits effluent between trenches, and why a tilt of an inch can drown one trench while the others sit dry.

  • Perc tests and soil testing

    Measuring how fast water moves through the soil and how deep the good soil goes, before anything is designed.

Talk it through before anyone digs

Say what the house is doing, how old the system is and when the tank was last pumped. You will hear what the job usually involves, what it tends to cost, and whether it needs digging at all.
