Wet spots over the field, sewage smells outside or drains that never quite clear? We diagnose the drain field, repair what we can and replace it when we can't, with our own crews.
Available in: Norfolk & Winchester
Septic service is offered by our Norfolk and Winchester branches. In Wilmington, our team handles well water testing and treatment.
Wet spots, gurgling drains and a smell outside are the classic signs of a drain field in trouble.
The drain field, or leach field, is where the liquid from your septic tank soaks into the soil. When it clogs with solids, gets compacted, floods or is overloaded, water rises to the surface and the whole system backs up.
Your technician checks the tank, the distribution box and the field lines first, because the cause isn't always the field itself. Then we explain whether the field can be repaired or needs replacing, and our own crews do the work.
Septic and well work is done to code by licensed, trained technicians and backed by a 1-year warranty, plus the manufacturer's warranty on new pumps and equipment.

Signs, repair and replacement.
Wet or soggy spots over the field, strips of greener grass, a sewage smell outside, slow drains throughout the house and backups after heavy rain. We check the tank and distribution box first to rule out other causes.
Sometimes. Broken lines, a blocked distribution box and some clogged laterals can be repaired, and a stressed field can recover after pumping and lower water use. A field that's failed outright needs replacing.
The work itself usually takes a few days, depending on the size of the field, the soil and the weather. Design and permits, where required, add time before we start.
They're the same thing: the area where liquid from the septic tank soaks into the soil.
