*Septic Repairs*

Not all septic repairs are Major!  Often we will reccomend repairs such as replacing septic tank baffles, pipes or D-boxes or adding risers to make servicing your septic system easier.

Baffles- replace broken or missing inlet or outlet baffles. Baffles are needed to prevent blockages & prevent solids from entering the leaching system.

Pipes- pipes can get crushed , deterioate or become rootbound over time.

D-Boxes- old d-boxes often fail and disrupt the proper flow to the leaching system.

Risers with lids- Tired of digging? We can deliver to you (for the do it yourselfer)or install 24" dia. risers in any height with a poly lid to access your septic tank lids easier. (Ct health code requires access within 12" of the ground surface).

*Trouble Shooting Problems-

Signs of Trouble include- gurgling in pipes, slow drain, backups, frequent clogs or plunging required, wet or extra green area of lawn, tank over full & possible foul odor.

We have saved our customers thousands of dollars by finding & repairing problems rather than replacing or installing new systems without proper investigation. We will locate and evaulate the septic tank and working level. We can snake lines, camera inspect & locate system components. Machine digging for investigation may be necessary. Sometimes the problem is as simple as a clogged filter or crushed pipe and sometimes it is more involved such as needing a new leaching field, either way we can solve your septic problems.

 *Plan for Repair of Leaching field-

We will evaluate your property for a possible  repair area. We will work with your town's Health Dept. to determine the size of the system based on deep hole testing for soil profile & perculation testing. This usually requires digging with a small mini-excavator with rubber tracks. We generally charge $350.00 for a mini-excavator and a Ct licensed septic installer as the operator. There is usually a charge of aruond $ 100.00 for the Health Dept to perform the perc test & document results. After we have the results of the soil & perc tests we can design a system to get as close to a "code complying" system as is reasonable and acceptable by the Health Dept. We can now give you a proposal for the work.

*Installation of Septic Systems

We can repair & install all types of septic systems from the foundation out. Including pipes, tanks & leaching fields. We have compact & heavy Equipment to handle any repair & installation. The mini-excavator is suited perfect for repairs in small of established areas. It has rubber tracks & is only 60" wide for working in small areas.Where lots of dirt and material need to be moved and space is not an issue we have a large 18 ton excavator. This machine makes setting concrete gallies & tee-pee's easy. We install all types of systems including fill systems, pump systems, infiltrator systems, galley systems, Ruck systems & new technology systems. We can do the whole job from test holes to grass.
