Complete Septic Services for Washington County Properties
Septic pumping
While liquid waste flows out to your drain field, solid waste accumulates in the tank, requiring pumping every few years (or more, depending on usage).
Emergency septic pumping
Quick, reliable emergency septic pumping, so you always know who to call if you have a severe issue with your system.
Septic tank repair
Our team helps with tank leaks, blocked pipes, and struggling pumps, with accurate diagnoses for every type of septic system.
Septic inspections
We recommend a septic inspection every two to three years, when buying or selling a property with a septic tank, or if you notice any issues with the system.
Drain field repair and remediation
Slime buildup, solid waste leaks, soil compaction, and hydraulic overload can all harm your drain field, so contact us as soon as you suspect an issue.
Septic drain cleaning and hydro jetting
If roots from water-hungry trees (such as willows, black cottonwood, and Oregon ash) intrude into lines, we may recommend hydro jetting, which uses high-pressure water to blast away blockages without damaging the pipes.
Septic pipe restoration and descaling
Grease, rust, and mineral scale can build up inside septic pipes, reducing flow. We provide complete septic pipe descaling and restoration services.
Septic system maintenance
Inspecting tank lids, risers, and access covers, checking waste levels, changing filters, and testing all electrical and mechanical components.
Septic system locating
Our team uses historical records, soil probing, and other techniques to pinpoint the system’s location.
Septic replacement
With proper care, a septic system can last 20 to 40 years. If your system has reached the end of its lifespan, we’ll explore replacement options.
Common Signs Your Septic System Needs Professional Attention
- Slow drains throughout the home
- Bubbling or gurgling sounds from plumbing when running water or flushing toilets
- Foul odors of sewage or sulfur around the property
- Pooling water or soggy ground outside
- Very green, lush grass in certain areas
- Hazardous sewage backups
How Can Wet Weather Affect a Septic System?
Here in Washington County, we get as much as 44 inches of rain every year.
- Saturated drain field soil doesn’t absorb wastewater well.
- High water tables prevent the soil layer from filtering wastewater properly.
- Saturated ground can worsen sewage seeps and pooling in damaged systems.
- In severe cases, saturated ground can dislodge your septic tank or cause it to pop out of the ground entirely.
Why Soil and Drain Field Conditions Matter
Soil is a natural wastewater filter that removes bacteria, viruses, and other impurities before the water reaches underground aquifers. Dense clay soil can be too thick for water to pass through quickly, while loose sandy soil won’t filter the water sufficiently.

What Happens During a Septic Service Appointment?
We locate, open, and inspect the system, checking for any issues that may need repair. Then, we pump the tank (if needed). Our inspections cover every component, including the tank, pump, baffles, partition walls, drain field, and outlet device.
Our team is made up of experienced, fully licensed professionals, and we commit to eco-friendly septic practices, such as natural wastewater treatment and avoiding harsh chemicals.

Frequently asked questions
Stop using drains and toilets immediately and call a pro. Sewage backups are a serious hazard and should be addressed quickly.
If your septic alarm goes off and you see signs of a backup, schedule service as soon as possible. If everything else seems normal, you can wait eight to 12 hours to see if the system corrects itself.
