11 Professional Services
From septic to drainage and landscaping, we handle the full spectrum of on-site systems and yard work.
Septic Tank Installation
A properly installed septic system is the foundation of reliable on-site wastewater management. Our team handles every aspect of new system installation - site evaluation, soil testing, permit coordination, tank placement, drain field layout, and final inspection. We follow all SC DHEC regulations to ensure your system is built to last. Whether you're building a new home, expanding an existing property, or replacing a failed system, we provide efficient, code-compliant installations with minimal disruption to your property.
Routine Maintenance Plans
Routine maintenance is essential for your septic system's longevity and optimal performance. Trust our experts for scheduled service visits that keep your system working efficiently and help you avoid expensive emergency situations. Our maintenance plans include tank level assessments, component inspections, inlet and outlet baffle checks, and recommendations for upcoming service needs. Consistent maintenance extends system life and helps you plan for future costs.
Septic Pumping
Regular pumping removes accumulated solids from your tank and is one of the most important things you can do to protect your septic investment. Most tanks require pumping every 3 to 5 years, but the right schedule depends on your household size and water usage. We arrive with proper equipment, pump the tank completely, inspect accessible components, and let you know if anything requires attention. Don't wait for signs of a problem - regular pumping prevents the drain field damage that makes repairs far more costly.
Septic Repairs
From a failed pump to cracked tank walls to saturated drain fields, we diagnose and repair all types of septic system failures. We start with a thorough assessment to identify the root cause before recommending repairs - so you're not paying to fix the wrong problem. Our repair work is performed to current code standards and backed by our commitment to quality workmanship. We work efficiently to get your system back online and minimize disruption to your daily life.
Septic Inspections
Whether you're buying or selling a home, or simply want to understand the condition of your existing system, our inspections provide a clear picture. We locate and access the tank, assess liquid levels, inspect inlet and outlet baffles, check for signs of drain field stress, and provide a written report of our findings. Home buyers rely on our inspections to avoid inheriting expensive septic problems. Sellers use them to address issues proactively and facilitate smoother transactions.
Emergency Septic Services
Sewage backups and system failures are never convenient - and they can't wait. Our emergency line is staffed 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. When you call, we dispatch a technician as quickly as possible to stop the problem from getting worse. We handle raw sewage backups, pump failures, system overflows, and other urgent situations. If you're waking up to sewage in your home or yard, call us immediately at (803) 374-3585. We'll get there.
French Drains / Curtain Drains
Standing water in your yard, a wet basement, or poor drainage near your septic system can all be addressed with a properly installed French drain. We design and install gravel-filled trench systems that redirect surface water and groundwater away from structures, foundations, and drain fields. A well-placed French drain protects your property from water damage and helps maintain the dry conditions that your septic drain field needs to function properly.
Plumbing
Our plumbing services support the connection between your home's internal systems and your septic setup. We handle lateral line repairs, connection issues between the house and the septic tank, and related plumbing work that affects your on-site wastewater system. Our team understands how plumbing and septic systems interact, so we can diagnose problems that span both systems and provide complete solutions rather than partial fixes.
Debris Removal
Excavation and septic work often leaves behind material that needs to be cleared from your property. We provide debris removal services to leave your site clean after installation, repair, or drainage work. Whether it's excavated soil, old tank components, construction materials, or yard waste generated during a job, we clear the area so your property is ready to use once work is complete.
Landscaping
After septic installation or repair work, your yard may need restoration. We provide landscaping services to restore disturbed areas - regrading soil, reseeding grass, and returning your yard to a clean and functional state. We understand which plantings are appropriate near septic systems (shallow-rooted ground covers work well; trees and shrubs should be kept away from drain fields), and we can advise you on maintaining your yard in a way that supports long-term system health.
Excavation and Drainage Solutions
Our excavation capabilities support all aspects of septic and drainage work. We dig access trenches, expose buried tanks and components for inspection or repair, grade land for proper water flow, and create drainage channels and retention areas. We handle the full range of excavation tasks associated with on-site wastewater systems and residential drainage projects - bringing the right equipment and expertise to manage South Carolina's varied soil conditions effectively.
