Pump/Float/Alarm Repair

Sand mounds and other types of septic systems have effluent pump(s) and control floats, installed into the system. These devices are “mechanical” and periodically fail. When they do, the system does not operate as it was originally designed. Often when one or more of these devices fail, it sounds a warning alarm. Don’t panic! Foresman Septic Services provides expert technicians and excellent quality materials to replace these devices, to get your system up and running properly.



​Sewer Line Repair
Your septic system is out of sight and out of mind - until problems occur! Older and newer homes alike may have hidden problems with their underground septic system. Pipe settlement, expansive soil, and root intrusion are just some of the potential conditions. We have the equipment to fix these problems.



​Septic Tank Risers and Lids
Septic tank risers are an important part of any septic system. Risers allow easy access to septic or dosing tanks in order to monitor system performance. Periodic maintenance costs are lowered due to easy accessibility to tanks. Many codes require risers on new installations. We can cut risers to any height. We also have replacement septic tank lids in concrete or plastic.

​Note: Plastic lids are secured by stainless steel screws and come in the colors Black or Green.

 

Chemical Treatment

Drain fields are highly affected by too much accumulated solid waste materials in the tank. This happens when the sludge isn’t digested well because the bacterial population is depleted, or too much water is loaded into the septic system that the solidified wastes have been stirred up and swept towards the drain field. If the fats, oils and grease reach the drain field, clogging will occur. There are times that if the drain field is left unmaintained, bio-mat buildup can occur. This is when a chemical known as caustic soda can help. Caustic soda is also known as NaOH or sodium hydroxide and water combined.  Caustic soda is a great tool for clearing out the sludge and gunk that have already settled in the drain field. Please call our offices for pricing and information on this treatment procedure.
