Septic System Repair Services
When your septic system needs repaired, we have a variety of solutions to get yours back in operation. The following are common repair services we provide.
Lateral Line Restoration
Some recognizable signs that your lateral lines or leach field may need repaired include wastewater standing in your yard, dark areas of green grass that always seem to grow faster as well as noticing that your sinks and toilets are draining slowly.
Each type of lateral field restoration we perform is subject to the current conditions of your lines. Based on the property and existing working conditions, we can often find a solution to fixing them without having to perform a very costly replacement.
You may have roots that have entered your lines or it may be something simple like repairing a broken pipe connection. No matter what conditions your lateral lines are in, we can provide the repair you need.
Septic Tank Replacement
We find that some older homes, especially those built prior to the 1990's may have a metal septic tank. Common for that era, but not suitable by today's standards and regulations.
Most older metal tanks are subject to corrosion and can often be caved in due to vehicle traffic or by the earth settling.
If you're noticing problems with your system, we can perform a septic tank replacement that will ensure yours is up to code.
Septic Tank Maintenance
Most homeowners would agree that they never think twice about their septic system. It's out of sight and out of mind for most.
One benefit with our services is that we offer septic system maintenance that helps aid in the longevity and life span of your system.
We can install access risers that allow you to easily service and inspect your tank, add components to better prevent your laterals from being clogged as well as seal all leaks within tank.
What Kind of System Do You Need?
We are often consulted by clients when they are building a new home or buying a lot for future usage. They ask…
What type of septic system am I required to have in Springfield, MO?
It's a commonly asked question, but many variables have to be considered for an adequate answer.
Here are some examples and requirements that will determine what type of septic system you are required to have installed. Keep in mind that the conditions of your property may vary your outcome.
Standard or Conventional System
A standard (conventional) septic system is allowed when there are benefiting site factors such as available space, good soil permeability, can meet standard setback requirements, depth of soil to bedrock is ok, etc.
Advanced Treatment System
Advanced treatment systems are required when there are limiting site factors such as lack of available space, poor soil permeability, excessive soil permeability, inability to meet standard setback requirements (such as distances from wells and property lines) and depth of soil to bedrock limitations, etc.
Tip:
If your budget is a factor, we recommend you have us perform a total site assessment of your potential property purchase or remodel before committing to it. The difference in cost between a conventional system vs. an advanced treatment system can be in the tens of thousands.
You can learn more about the different types of systems here and more on Greene County regulations here.
No matter what type of septic system you'll be required to have, we are licensed and have the knowledge and skill to install them all.

– Jon Hancock, Owner
We focus on every small detail and component that affects the life span of your system. With proper compaction methods and correct piping elevations, you can rest assured you're receiving a quality installation.
We gather as much info as possible from you as to how your system will be used.
For instance, do you entertain regularly? How many occupants when you do? Are they full time residents? Are there ever any extended guest stays? Any future plans for room additions or outbuildings? Will you want an RV dump, etc.?
Here's a few benefits of our services…
- We select the best optimal location for system components including the treatment/disposal field.
- We utilize proprietary components such as custom distribution devices to ensure even distribution of effluent to the lateral field.
- We ensure that all elevation selections of your system's components are properly designed and executed. This is one of the most common problems we see with system failures.
- We ensure that all serviceable components of your system are accessible to grade.
- We strive to take a practical and logical approach without letting any assumptions dictate our methods.
We believe a properly designed, properly installed and adequately maintained septic system will last indefinitely. Our knowledge and understanding of how a system should function as well as the most effective strategies for installations is what sets our services apart.
