Septic and Drain Field Work in Richmond
A septic system handles everything that leaves your house, and it only works if the ground underneath it does.
When a drain field stops draining, the problem shows up above ground — wet spots, slow drains, odor after rain.
We install new systems, repair failed drain fields, and keep working ones working. And because the ground is where these systems succeed or fail, the clearing and grading is part of the job, not something you line up separately.
When You Need Us
- You’re building and the lot needs a system from scratch.
- Water pools over your drain field, or the ground stays soft.
- Drains are slow and the tank isn’t the problem.
- There’s an odor around the field after it rains.
- The area where the system has to go is wooded, uneven, or hard to reach.

FAQ
Will I be charged for the estimate?
No. Estimates are free.
Do you handle the clearing and grading
too, or do I need someone else first?
We do it all. That's the part most septic contractors leave to you.
My drain field stays wet. Does that mean it needs to be replaced?
Not always. Sometimes it's how water moves across the property rather than the field itself. We'll look at both before quoting anything.
Can you put a system on land that hasn't been cleared?
Yes. Clearing and grading the area is part of the same job.
