System Malfunction Repair

When a septic system starts acting up—slow drains, gurgling toilets, or soggy patches over the drain field—it’s more than an inconvenience; it’s a red flag. We diagnose these malfunctions with precision, beginning with a full inspection of the tank, inlet and outlet baffles, and the drain field’s absorption. Our team uses dye testing, sludge depth measurements, and camera inspections to pinpoint the root cause rather than guessing. We serve Spokane and nearby communities with transparent, affordable pricing, so you’ll know exactly what we’re fixing and why before any work begins.

Once we find the issue, we map out a clear repair plan. That might mean replacing a cracked baffle, clearing a blocked inlet line, repairing a damaged distribution box, or restoring proper ventilation to prevent sewer gas pushback. If the drain field is struggling, we’ll assess soil saturation and recommend targeted solutions—jetting laterals, re-leveling a sunken line, or rehabilitating biomat buildup when feasible. We don’t upsell a replacement when a smart repair will restore performance; our goal is to stabilize your system quickly and protect your yard, plumbing, and peace of mind.

To keep repairs efficient and cost-conscious, we follow a straightforward process:

1) Diagnose with measurable tests and provide a written estimate.

2) Repair the priority failure points and verify flow with live testing.

3) Clean and rebalance the system—pump if needed, reset filters, and seal penetrations.

4) Share a simple care plan—pump intervals, what to avoid flushing, and warning signs to watch.

That way, you get lasting results, fewer surprises, and a septic system that runs quietly in the background the way it should.
