Conventional System Problems We Fix
Most conventional system issues trace back to a full tank, a damaged line, or a saturated drain field.
Slow drains across multiple fixtures usually mean the tank is full or a line is partially blocked.
This typically means the field is not absorbing wastewater properly, often from tank overflow or field saturation.
Yes — roots from trees and large shrubs can crack tanks and invade drain lines. Keep them well clear of the tank and field.
Slow drains, odor, or a field that stays wet longer than normal are common signs it's time for pumping.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about conventional septic systems.
A conventional system uses a septic tank to separate solids from wastewater, which then flows by gravity into a drain field for soil absorption.
With proper pumping and care, a well-sited drain field can last 20-30 years or longer. Overloading or neglecting pumping shortens this significantly.
Grass is recommended over a drain field. Avoid gardens, trees, and anything requiring digging, since roots and excavation can damage the pipes and gravel bed.
Slow drains, sewage odor, standing water over the field, and gurgling pipes are the most common warning signs.
Most households need pumping every 3-5 years, depending on tank size and household size.
