Signs Your Septic System Needs Attention
Leaking or failing septic systems can lead to serious problems if not addressed quickly. Common warning signs include:
- Slow draining sinks, tubs, or toilets

- Gurgling sounds from drains
- Pooling water or soggy areas near the drain field
- Unusual plant growth or die-off in your yard
Septic System Installation & Aerobic Units
We install both traditional septic systems and advanced aerobic systems for improved efficiency and water treatment. Aerobic systems use bacteria and oxygen to break down waste faster, leading to cleaner water, fewer odors, and smaller drain field needs. They also lower maintenance and help your system last longer. Septic system installation typically includes:
- Site preparation and leveling
- Septic tank installation
- Drain field installation
- Aerobic system installation
- Backfilling and landscaping

Septic System Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How can I tell if my septic system is failing?
Watch for slow drains, foul odors, pooling water, or unusual plant growth near your drain field. These signs indicate your system may be damaged or clogged. Call us right away at 980-341-4241 so we can inspect and repair your system before problems worsen.
What is the difference between a traditional septic system and an aerobic system?
Traditional systems rely on soil to naturally treat wastewater, while aerobic systems use oxygen and bacteria to break down waste faster. Aerobic systems often produce cleaner water, smaller drain fields, and less odor, making them an efficient choice for many properties.
How often should my septic tank be pumped?
Your septic tanks typically need pumping every 3–5 years, depending on usage and tank size. Our regular inspections and maintenance help set the right schedule and prevent costly backups or damage to your system.
Can you install a septic system for new construction?
Yes. We handle septic system installations for new homes and commercial properties. Our team makes sure your system meets local regulations and functions efficiently while providing guidance on the best system type for your property.
Do you offer aerobic system maintenance programs?
Yes. Our Aerobic System Maintenance Program includes inspections, cleaning, repairs, and priority service. This program helps keep your aerobic system running efficiently, prevents expensive repairs, and extends the life of your septic system.
