Drainfield Cleaning
Drainfield Cleaning
Septic problems never arise at a convenient time, and replacing the system can be a significant financial burden. Our rooter and hydro-jet services can restore functionality to septic lines in a PVC drainfield and, in some cases, extend the life of your septic system.
Here’s What the Service Includes:
- Septic Tank Pumping: Within a few days of the scheduled rooter/hydro-jet service, we will pump your septic tank to ensure the pipe leaving the tank is clear of water before we begin work.
- Accessing the Pipe: On the service day, we will locate and expose the pipe between the tank and the drainfield using a mini-excavator for easy access.
- Installing a Cleanout: We will install a PVC cleanout between the tank and drainfield, providing convenient access for both servicing and future maintenance.
- Clearing the Lines: Our technicians will rooter and/or hydro-jet the septic lines to clear any blockages.
- Foaming Root Killing Treatment: If there is noticeable improvement in the function of the pipes, the technician may offer to apply a foaming root-killing treatment (additional cost). This product is environmentally safe and poses no harm to your system or trees.
Call us
Our equipment is top-of-the-line for septic drainfield work. Our rootering machine operates at 200 RPM (revolutions per minute), and our Hydro-Jet Machine delivers an impressive 4200 PSI (pounds-force per square inch).
Please Note the Following Requirements:
- Clearance: We will need at least five feet (5’) of clearance for the mini-excavator.
- Utility Marking: It is the homeowner’s responsibility to call 811 to have underground utilities marked. We are not liable for any unmarked utilities or sprinkler lines. (Please allow a few days for 811 to mark the utilities.)
- Success Rate: This service has an 80% success rate. While rootering and hydro-jetting may help, we cannot guarantee results.
- Temporary Results: If the service does improve your system, please note that the results may be temporary. As there is no guarantee, we do not offer refunds or credits if the service is ineffective or only provides short-term relief.
- Final Effort: While rootering and hydro-jetting may not work for every system, it can be a worthwhile final effort to avoid a full replacement.
