Electric Drain Cleaning

Electric drain cleaning involves snaking an electric cable into your drain lines, maneuvering around curves and bends to clear blockages efficiently. This is ideal for older pipes that may not handle hydro‑jetting well, and less severe clogs from household items like hair, soap scum, food particles, grease.

High-Pressure Jet Cleaning

We offer high-tech high pressure jet cleaning for tough clogs caused by heavy grease, non-flushable items, and even invasive tree roots. This technique uses water pressure of up to 4,000 PSI to break up stubborn solids that are caked in your pipes. It is ideal for recurring clogs that cannot be dislodged with a traditional snake.

Septic Pumping

Septic pumping removes sludge and waste from the bottom of your tank using specialized vacuum equipment, promoting proper wastewater treatment and flow. We recommend pumping every two to three years, though you may need pumping sooner if you notice smells, slow drains, or pooling water near your drain field.

Tank Locator

Can’t find your tank? We can help with that. Our team has the equipment and experience to pinpoint the precise location of your system quickly and efficiently. We use minimally invasive technology to avoid unnecessary digging and protect underground utilities.

Septic Maintenance

If your tank is already in optimal condition, we can help it stay there with general septic maintenance. From monitoring sludge buildup to the performance of your drain field and baffles, we’re here for the little things that make a big difference in preventing costly long-term damage.

Septic Inspection

If you suspect issues or need a routine checkup, we perform thorough septic tank inspections to ensure your tank is performing correctly—and to catch potential issues before they escalate. Our technicians assess all critical components, including the tank, pipes, and drain field.

Flushing

Flushing a septic system involves running clean water through the drain field lines to remove minor blockages and restore proper flow. This maintenance step can help dislodge minor clogs and prevent future buildiup, unlike cleaning, which is a more intensive process.
