Frequently Asked Questions
The most common causes are clogging from solid waste (due to infrequent septic tank pumping), invasive tree roots, soil compaction from vehicles driving over the area, and hydraulic overloading (too much water overwhelming the system).
This depends on the cause and extent of the failure. In many cases, professional cleaning and clearing of blockages can restore function. If the damage is extensive or the system was poorly designed, a replacement may be necessary. We will always provide an honest assessment.
The best ways to protect your leach drain are to have your septic tank pumped regularly, avoid planting trees or shrubs nearby, never drive or park heavy vehicles over the drain field, and be mindful of your water usage to avoid overloading the system.
A standard residential installation typically takes 1-3 days, depending on the size of the system and the site conditions.
