Sometimes, however, there is no need for something so drastic. A simple drain field cleaning may be all that you need in order to get everything in your septic system running again. We are dedicated to saving you as much money as we possibly can, so if we are called in to inspect your septic system and discover that all you need is a drain field cleaning, we will inform you of this cheaper option.

Often, the problem that makes it necessary for us to clean your drain field comes in the form of a heavy build-up of bacterial slime and waste solids, which can clog up your system and cause many problems. However, this is the sort of problem that can be solved without anything too fancy.

For drain field cleaning, what we do to clear out the problem areas is to flush your system. We do this by using equipment specialized for hydrojetting. This is a method that forces highly pressurized water into your septic system, clearing out stubborn debris that would otherwise be clogging up your system. This method is safe for your septic system, efficient, and far less trouble than a full repair job.
