Septic System Repair & Inspection
Many mountain pockets run on septic, not sewer. We're a C-42 licensed sanitation system contractor for tank repairs, leach lines and inspections.
Mountain septic is fussier. Here's why it matters.
Rocky soil, slopes, freezing temperatures and vacation homes that sit empty for months all make mountain septic systems behave differently from systems in the valley.

Frequently asked questions
How do I know if I have septic or sewer?
Check your property records or water bill. Sewer customers pay a sewer charge. Many outlying mountain properties are on septic, and we can usually tell from a quick look.
What are the warning signs of septic trouble?
Every drain slow at once, sewage odors inside or in the yard, wet or unusually lush spots over the drain field, gurgling toilets, or a pump alarm sounding.
Do you do septic inspections for home sales?
Yes. As a C-42 licensed sanitation system contractor, we perform septic inspections for real estate transactions, including the evaluations commonly required for FHA and VA loans.
