Septic system repair
in Little Rock, AR

Sewage is backing up into your house. This is the most obvious sign of septic failure. If waste comes back into your toilets, sinks, or tubs, your system isn't working.

Your yard smells like sewage. If you can smell waste outside, especially near your tank or drain field, something is leaking or overflowing.

Soggy, wet areas appear over your drain field. The drain field should absorb wastewater into the soil. If the ground stays wet or soggy, the system isn't working right.

Grass over your drain field is unusually green and grows faster. Sewage acts as fertilizer. Super green grass in that area means sewage is staying near the surface instead of being absorbed properly.

Toilets and drains are slow throughout your house. If everything drains slowly, not just one fixture, your septic system might be backing up.

You hear gurgling sounds from your drains. This happens when your septic system is full or blocked and air is getting trapped in the pipes.

It's been years since your tank was pumped. Tanks need pumping every 3 to 5 years. If you can't remember the last time yours was pumped, that might be your problem right there.

You see standing water or surfacing sewage near your tank. This means your tank is overfull, damaged, or the drain field has failed.

Repair restores proper waste treatment. Your septic system processes household waste and returns clean water to the ground. When it's broken, raw sewage goes places it shouldn't. Fixing the system restores that treatment process.

You'll eliminate health hazards. Raw sewage contains bacteria, viruses, and parasites that make people sick. Repairing your system removes that danger from your property.

Environmental contamination stops. Failed septic systems can pollute groundwater and contaminate wells. Proper repairs protect the environment and water sources.

Your plumbing works normally again. Once your septic system is fixed, toilets flush properly, drains work fast, and you don't have backups or slow drainage.

Property damage gets prevented. Sewage surfacing in your yard kills grass, damages landscaping, and can even affect your foundation if it's close to your house. Repairs stop that damage.

You'll avoid fines and legal problems. Health departments can fine property owners with failing septic systems. In severe cases, they can order properties vacated. Repairs bring you back into compliance.

Your property value is protected. A failing septic system tanks your property value. Nobody wants to buy a house with septic problems. Proper repairs maintain your investment.

When you call about septic problems, we ask what's happening. Sewage backing up? Wet spots in the drain field? Toilet won't flush? We schedule to come assess the problem.

We inspect your septic system. We check the tank, the drain field, and the distribution box. We figure out what's failing. Sometimes the tank just needs pumping. Other times there are broken pipes or a failed drain field.

We make necessary repairs. We replace broken pipes, fix damaged baffles in the tank, or repair distribution boxes. For failed drain fields, we discuss options. Sometimes sections can be repaired, other times the whole field needs replacing.

We test the system after repairs. We run water and make sure everything drains properly. We explain maintenance, septic tanks need pumping every few years. We can set you up with a pumping company if you need one.
