Septic Line Clearing

Why your septic system is backing up (and what we do about it)

Unlike city sewer, septic systems rely on your tank and drain field to process wastewater. When the inlet line, outlet line, baffles, distribution box, or laterals clog with roots, sludge, or scale, wastewater can

back up into the home—often at the lowest drain or a basement bathroom. We diagnose the restriction and clear the right section so the system can breathe again.

Common symptoms:

• Gurgling fixtures and slow drains throughout the house
• Sewage smell in the yard near the tank or drain field
• Wet or spongy patches above the field after rain
• Toilet/tub backups, especially on lower levels
• Frequent clogs shortly after heavy laundry or guests

1. Locate & Assess

We locate your tank, cleanouts, and distribution box; check for inlet/outlet baffles; and evaluate whether the issue is a line restriction or a full tank.

2. Access

We open the proper cleanout (or carefully expose one), protect the work area, and prepare for safe jetting/rodding. When helpful, we use color cameras to pinpoint the problem.

3. Clear

We match the method to your pipe and condition:

• Professional rodding to break through sludge/roots in inlet/outlet lines
• Targeted hydro‑jetting to scour pipe walls and distribution laterals
• Root removal where intrusions are present (followed by maintenance options)

4. Verify

We water‑test, inspect with camera when requested, and confirm flow from the house into the tank and from the tank toward the field. If the tank is full or baffles are failed, we document and advise next steps.

5. Protect

We review pumping intervals, effluent filter maintenance (if installed), root control, and habits that keep your field healthy.

Septic vs. Sewer—Which do I have?

Homes on city sewer connect to municipal mains; homes on septic discharge to a private tank and field on your property. Unsure? Check your utility bill or call us—we’ll help you confirm before service is scheduled.
