Drain-Field Repair
Compare septic companies that show drain-field repair among their service details.
Drain-field (also called leach-field) repair covers fixing a drainfield that is no longer absorbing effluent properly: standing water or soggy ground over the field, sewage odor outdoors, or slow drains throughout the house after ruling out a simple clog. Repairs range from clearing a blocked distribution line to replacing a section of the field entirely.
A failing drainfield is one of the more expensive septic problems to fix, and the right repair depends on why it failed (age, being driven over, tree roots, or a tank that wasn't pumped on schedule sending solids downstream). Our guide to drainfield problems walks through common causes and warning signs.
