Services
Septic System Installation
We install all septic system types including conventional, mound, at-grade, and aerobic treatment units. Our MPRS restricted plumbers design systems meeting Wisconsin SPS 383 code requirements. Each installation includes soil evaluation, proper permitting, and final inspections to ensure long-term functionality and environmental compliance.
Septic Tank Pumping
Our certified operators perform routine pumping every 2-3 years as required by local ordinances. We clean filters, inspect components, and provide detailed reports with each service. We handle both septic tanks and holding tanks using specialized equipment for complete waste removal and disposal.
System Inspections
We conduct three inspection types: resale evaluations, annual pre-treatment checks, and maintenance inspections. Our master plumbers assess tank condition, drain field performance, and system components while providing detailed reports for regulatory compliance and homeowners.
Soil Testing
Our soil scientists perform required evaluations to determine suitable septic system types. We dig test holes, analyze soil composition, and submit official reports to county authorities. This process ensures proper system design based on soil permeability and limiting factors like groundwater levels.
Emergency Repairs
We offer urgent assistance for system failures with 24-hour availability. Our team handles pump replacements, line blockages, tank repairs, and alarm system issues. Emergency services include immediate diagnostics and solutions to prevent property damage and restore system functionality.
