Septic inspections, repairs and new installations from one local, second-generation crew.
Know what you have and what it needs.
We find the real cause, not the pricey quick fix.
New homes and failed systems, start to finish.
Skills passed down through two generations, paired with modern equipment and methods.
You'll know what's in the ground, how it works, and how to keep it healthy.
You'll know the price before we start. We fix what's actually wrong and never upsell you a repair or new system you don't need.
"Sean took a complex problem with multiple causes and broke it down piece by piece… He didn't jump to (expensive) quick fixes."
"As a first time home buyer… Sean took the time to walk me through what he was seeing and teach me how to maintain a system."
"Sean was able to come out with very short notice to assess our septic system emergency. He was punctual, polite, very knowledgeable."
Based in Clinton, we serve South and Central Whidbey, from the ferry dock to Coupeville.
We also serve Oak Harbor. Just give us a call.
Washington state code requires it. Systems with a pump must be inspected every year. Conventional gravity systems need one every three years. A home sale also requires one.
Most tanks need pumping every 3 to 5 years. Some can go longer, depending on the size of the tank and how much the system gets used. We measure the sludge and scum levels at every inspection, so you'll know when it's time. If it's due, we'll connect you with a trusted local pumper.
Only flush toilet paper, go easy on bleach, harsh cleaners and fabric softener, spread out laundry loads, fix leaky toilets and faucets, and keep up with your inspections. Small habits protect the bacteria your system depends on.
Silence the alarm, stop using water as much as you can, and call us. It usually means a high water level or a pump problem.
Slow drains, pooling water, odors, or unusually green grass over the field are the common signs.
It depends on the system and the site. Some installs wrap up quickly, while larger or more complex systems take longer. We'll give you a clear timeline with your estimate.
