What the Pro Will Propose
- Tank pumpingThe routine job. The lid comes off, the tank is emptied and the pro looks at what is inside while it is open.
- Septic repairA box with roots in it, a broken baffle, a failing pump or a field that no longer drains. The diagnosis comes before the quote.
- New system installationA lot with no sewer. A soil evaluation, a design, a county permit, a registered installer, an inspection, then cover.
- Aerobic unit serviceThe scheduled visits an aerobic treatment unit needs: air pump, alarm, spray heads and disinfection.
Before anything else
Know Your System and Your County
The right first step depends on two facts: whether you have a conventional tank or an aerobic unit, and which county the lot is in. Septic or sewer helps with the first. The county permits page covers the second. If the symptoms are already showing, the signs page separates a full tank from a failed field.
Nothing on this site makes a system legal, and nothing here tells you your system complies. Only the county does that. What the pro does is look, price the fix and handle the permit paperwork that goes with it.
Not sure whether it is the tank, the field or the pipe?
Call and describe it. The pro looks first and quotes after.
