Our Comprehensive Septic Services
Septic System Installation
Installing a new septic system requires proper design, correct sizing, quality materials, and expert installation. We handle complete septic installations for new construction homes, properties without municipal sewer access, and replacement of failed systems. Our installations include site evaluation and perc testing, system design based on household size and soil conditions, permit applications and approvals, excavation and tank placement, drain field installation, and final inspection coordination.
We install both conventional septic systems and aerobic treatment systems, recommending the best option for your property and needs.
Septic System Repair
Septic problems require prompt professional attention to prevent property damage and health hazards. We diagnose and repair all septic issues including septic tank damage or cracks, failed baffles or tees, broken pipes or connections, drain field failures, and distribution box problems.
Our technicians identify the root cause of septic issues and recommend the most cost-effective repair solutions. Early repair prevents small problems from becoming expensive system failures.

Aerobic Septic System Services
Aerobic treatment systems (ATUs) use oxygen to treat wastewater more effectively than conventional systems. These systems are common in Sand Springs, especially on smaller lots or properties with poor soil drainage. We provide complete aerobic system services including new aerobic system installation, aerobic pump repair and replacement, compressor repair and replacement, sprinkler head repair and replacement, control panel troubleshooting and repair, routine maintenance and inspection, and chlorine tablet monitoring.
Aerobic systems require more maintenance than conventional systems but provide superior wastewater treatment.

Lateral Line Services
Lateral lines (also called drain fields or leach fields) are crucial components where wastewater disperses into the soil. Lateral line problems cause sewage backups, soggy yards, and system failures. We provide lateral line inspection and diagnosis, lateral line repair for damaged sections, complete lateral line replacement, and soil remediation when needed.
Lateral line failures are serious but don’t always require complete system replacement. We assess your situation honestly and recommend appropriate solutions.

Septic Pumping and Maintenance
Regular septic pumping is essential for system longevity. Tanks should typically be pumped every 3-5 years depending on household size and usage. We provide scheduled septic pumping, tank inspection during pumping, identification of potential problems, proper waste disposal, and maintenance recommendations.
Routine pumping prevents solids from entering your drain field, which causes expensive failures.
Septic Inspections
Pre-purchase septic inspections are crucial when buying homes with septic systems. We provide comprehensive inspections including tank condition assessment, drain field evaluation, pump and component testing (for aerobic systems), identification of any issues or needed repairs, and detailed inspection reports.
Knowing your septic system’s condition before purchase prevents unexpected expenses and allows negotiation with sellers.
Signs of Septic System Problems
Slow Drains Throughout Your Home
If all drains in your home are slow—toilets, sinks, showers—your septic system may be full or failing. This indicates your tank needs pumping or you have more serious system problems.
Sewage Backups
Sewage backing up into your home is a serious problem requiring immediate attention. Backups indicate your septic system can’t handle wastewater, either from a full tank, clogged lines, or drain field failure.
Foul Odors
Persistent sewage smells near your septic tank, drain field, or in your home indicate problems. Odors suggest your system isn’t processing waste properly or you have leaks.
Soggy, Wet Drain Field Area
Your drain field should be relatively dry. Standing water, soggy ground, or unusually lush green grass over your drain field indicates it’s not absorbing wastewater properly—a sign of system failure.
Gurgling Sounds
Gurgling sounds from drains or toilets when using water suggest your septic system is backing up or can’t vent properly.
Sewage Surfacing in Yard
Raw sewage appearing in your yard indicates serious septic failure. This creates health hazards and requires immediate professional service.
Aerobic System Alarm
Aerobic systems have alarms that activate when problems occur—pump failures, high water levels, or system malfunctions. Don’t ignore these alarms; they indicate your system isn’t treating wastewater properly.
Types of Septic Systems We Service
Conventional Septic Systems
Traditional septic systems consist of a septic tank where solids settle and a drain field where liquid disperses into soil. These systems are simple, reliable, and work well in properties with adequate space and suitable soil. We install, repair, and maintain conventional systems throughout Sand Springs.
Aerobic Treatment Units (ATUs)
Aerobic systems inject oxygen into wastewater to accelerate bacterial breakdown. They treat wastewater more effectively than conventional systems and work on smaller lots or properties with poor soil drainage. ATUs require electricity and more maintenance but are excellent solutions where conventional systems won’t work.
Mound Systems
For properties with high water tables, shallow soil, or bedrock near the surface, mound systems build drain fields above ground. These systems pump wastewater to elevated drain fields. While more expensive, mound systems work where other systems can’t.
Low-Pressure Dose Systems
These systems use pumps to distribute wastewater evenly throughout the drain field, improving treatment efficiency. They work well on challenging lots with limited space or difficult topography.
Why Regular Septic Maintenance Is Essential
Prevents Expensive Failures
Regular pumping and maintenance catch problems early, preventing expensive system failures. Replacing a drain field costs thousands—far more than routine maintenance.
Extends System Life
Properly maintained septic systems last 20-30+ years. Neglected systems fail prematurely, requiring expensive replacements.
Protects Property Value
Failed septic systems severely impact property values. Maintaining your system protects your investment.
Prevents Health Hazards
Failing septic systems create serious health risks from untreated sewage exposure. Proper maintenance protects your family’s health.
Avoids Environmental Contamination
Failed systems contaminate groundwater and surface water. Maintenance prevents environmental damage that could result in fines and required remediation.
