Watch for several warning signs that indicate septic problems. Sewage backing up into your basement or lower-level drains is an obvious emergency that requires immediate attention.
More subtle signs include persistent sewage odors around your property, especially near the septic tank or drain field area. Slow drains throughout your house, gurgling sounds from toilets or drains, and unusually lush grass over your drain field can all indicate problems.
If your water bills are higher than normal without increased usage, you might have a leak in your septic lines. Don’t wait for a complete system failure—these early signs are much cheaper to address than emergency repairs.
Regular drain cleaning methods like snaking or rodding only punch a hole through blockages. This provides temporary relief but doesn’t remove the buildup on your pipe walls, so clogs return quickly.
Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water streams to completely scour the inside of your septic lines. It removes grease, debris, tree roots, and buildup from the entire pipe diameter, leaving your lines as clean as when they were first installed.
For septic systems, this thorough cleaning is especially important because partial blockages can cause sewage to back up into your home. Hydro jetting provides a long-term solution that prevents recurring problems and extends the life of your septic system.

In many cases, yes. We use advanced diagnostic techniques to pinpoint exactly where drain field problems are occurring. Instead of excavating your entire drain field, we can often target specific areas that need attention.
For clogged distribution boxes or damaged inlet pipes, repairs might only require digging in a small area. Hydro jetting can sometimes restore drain field function by clearing blockages in the distribution system without any excavation.
However, if your drain field has failed due to soil saturation or extensive pipe damage, replacement might be necessary. We will use camera inspections and other diagnostic tools to determine the most cost-effective solution for your specific situation.
Older Northfield homes often have septic systems installed 30-50 years ago using materials and methods that don’t meet current standards. Clay pipes can crack and allow tree roots to infiltrate, causing major blockages.
Many older systems have inadequate drain fields for today’s water usage patterns. Modern appliances use more water than systems designed decades ago were meant to handle, leading to premature failure.
Poor maintenance also contributes to system failure. Many homeowners don’t realize their septic systems need regular pumping and inspection. Without proper maintenance, sludge builds up and can damage expensive components like distribution boxes and drain field pipes.
