Septic SYSTEM Services

  • We offer full septic system replacements for properties with failed, damaged, or undersized systems. Common reasons include saturated or clogged leaching fields, cracked tanks or pipes, and systems that can’t keep up with the home’s current use due to age or increased occupancy.

    Why It’s Needed

    A failing system can cause backups, slow drains, surface pooling, and even health code violations. Replacing the system restores proper wastewater flow, protects your property, and ensures long-term reliability.

  • We provide a thorough evaluation of the septic system as part of the home-buying or selling process. We hand dig to access key components like the tank and parts of the absorption system. After access is established, we use a fiber-optic camera to inspect interior lines and evaluate system function.

    While access can sometimes be limited by depth or obstructions, we assess as much of the system as reasonably possible without disturbing the property beyond what’s appropriate for a pre-purchase inspection.

    If you’re buying a home with a septic system, the inspection period is the time to have the system professionally evaluated. We inspect the septic tank, outlet line, and absorption area to determine whether the system is functioning properly and to identify any signs of failure or concern.

    We hand dig to access key components and use a camera to scope interior lines. While access can sometimes be limited due to depth or obstructions, we evaluate as much of the system as reasonably possible without disturbing the property beyond what’s appropriate during a pre-purchase inspection.

    Why It Matters

    Septic problems are often hidden below ground and can cost thousands to repair or replace. Our inspection gives you a clear understanding of the system’s condition so you can make an informed decision before moving forward with the purchase.

    What effects Costs?

    Labor for Inspection: More work is required to dig up and locate deeper or systems that are difficult to find.

    Commercial & Multi-Tank Homes: Call us for a custom quote.

  • Video inspection is a method for diagnosing problems within a drain or main sewer line. Using our equipment, we take a look inside your pipes to identify and locate your blockage or potential damage. We can quickly diagnose a problem and offer free estimates to resolve the issue.

  • When a standard inspection can’t access key components due to depth, obstructions, or missing system records, an exploratory inspection is needed. This may include machine digging or other invasive methods to fully locate and evaluate the system.

  • In Connecticut, a B‑100a site assessment is required by the local health department when you’re planning an addition, finishing a basement, building a garage, installing a pool, or making other changes to a property with a septic system. The purpose is to confirm there’s enough space on the property for a code-compliant septic system (or reserve area) before construction moves forward.

    We Handle the Entire B‑100 Process

    We offer full B‑100 testing services, including:

    Deep hole and percolation testing

    • Coordinating with licensed engineers

    • Working directly with your local health department

    • Providing all necessary info to move your project forward

    Whether you’re adding square footage, changing the use of a space, or planning a full system replacement, this test is the first step to getting approvals.

  • We handle percolation and deep hole tests for new systems, repairs, additions, and subdivisions. These tests confirm the soil meets code and help plan or approve septic work.

    We coordinate everything with your engineer and local health department to keep the process smooth and efficient.

    We Offer Perk Testing Services

    We perform perk tests in coordination with engineers and local health departments to ensure accurate results. The data collected is used to design an appropriate septic system based on the soil’s drainage ability and site conditions.

  • We offer professional snaking services to clear blockages and restore proper flow in sewer and drain lines. Over time, lines can become clogged with grease, debris, roots, or buildup that restricts flow or causes backups. Snaking is a reliable method to break through these obstructions without needing excavation. It’s often the first step before using a camera to further inspect the line or determine if there’s damage. Routine snaking can help prevent major backups and identify issues before they turn into costly repairs.

  • High pressure water jetting is used to clean sewer and drain lines. This powerful cone of spray can clear roots, paper, and debris from your lines and can clean built up sludge and grease as it goes. A water jet is not needed for all lines, but can be highly effective when needed.

  • Pipe descaling cleans out built-up minerals and rust from pipe lines. These build-ups can cause blockages and water/sewer back-ups in your home or business. Descaling can be performed with chemicals or water jetting, we can let you know what the best option would be for your specific needs.

Prevent Costly Surprises

Installing a new residential septic system costs $15,000–$25,000+ and can take weeks just to get the necessary permits.
A thorough inspection helps you avoid costly delays and surprises later.
