Custom Septic - Big Lake's Reliable Plumbing Service

A comprehensive plumbing inspection allows us to assess the entire drainage system leading from your home to the septic tank. We check for slow drains, hidden clogs, root intrusion, and signs of pipe deterioration that can cause backups. By identifying these issues early, we can recommend targeted repairs or cleaning to ensure wastewater flows away from your home properly, significantly reducing the risk of a sudden and damaging basement flood.

In Big Lake's cold winters, the vent pipes on your roof that allow sewer gases to escape and let air into your drainage system can freeze over. This blockage creates a vacuum, slowing drains and causing gurgling sounds or even sewer odors inside. During our inspection, we evaluate vent pipe condition and location. We can advise on preventative measures, like adding insulation or heat tape, to keep them clear and ensure your plumbing maintains the proper pressure and venting all season.

Our inspection is tailored to local concerns. We examine the septic tank's inlet and outlet baffles for blockages, check the drain field for signs of saturation (a common precursor to flooding), and inspect all accessible pipes for cracks, bellies, or root damage. Inside, we assess drain flow rates and venting. The goal is to create a complete picture of your system's health, pinpointing vulnerabilities specific to our area's weather and ground conditions before they become urgent problems.
