Our Professional Septic Tank Repair Services in Carleton Place

Septic System Diagnostics & Site Evaluation

Every effective repair starts with a full system evaluation. Our technicians thoroughly examine your entire septic system, including the septic tank, field components, and related plumbing, to identify the cause of the issue and determine the most effective repair strategy.

We assess:

  • Tank condition and component wear
  • Drainage function and potential clogs
  • Field absorption and saturation levels
  • Flow issues within the plumbing system
  • Compliance with the septic system design and layout

This site-specific approach ensures that our repairs are tailored to the specific needs of your residential or commercial property and are completed with precision.

Drain Field Troubleshooting & Repairs

Sometimes, septic problems are linked to your drain field, where poor drainage or over-saturation leads to surface pooling or slow waste movement and toilet clogs. We provide targeted repair solutions to get your septic system back up and running.

These include:

  • Jetting and flushing distribution lines
  • Evaluating septic system design vs usage load
  • Addressing backup risks from clogged outlets
  • Rebuilding or rerouting field lines as needed

We aim to restore safe wastewater dispersal, protect your environment, and ensure the system performs across all seasons.
