Why Choose Flex Sanitation for Leach Fields
We use advanced diagnostic and bio-remediation tools to extend the lifespan of your drainfield.
D-Box Replacement
Repair or replace concrete distribution boxes to ensure water divides evenly among lines.
Bio-Remediation
Apply non-toxic bacterial treatments to break down bio-mat buildup and restore soil absorption.
Line Jetting
High-pressure water jetting clears sludge, silt, and tree roots from perforated drain lines.
Site Excavation
Targeted line replacement for collapsed sections of leach field lines without destroying lawns.
Extend the Life of Your Septic Drainfield
The leach field (or drainfield) is the most critical part of your septic system. It is where wastewater is filtered through the soil. If solid waste escape the tank, or if bio-mat grows too thick, the soil pores clog, causing sewage to surface in your yard or backup into your home.
Flex Sanitation diagnostic crews trace leach field lines with inspection cameras to determine if lines are clogged, collapsed, or root-bound. We test water absorption rates and inspect the distribution box (D-box) to confirm equal flow distribution.
We focus on cost-effective restoration methods first, utilizing heavy-duty bio-remediation and hydro-jetting to clear biological blockages before recommending full field replacement.
- Distribution box inspection, leveling, and structural repair.
- High-pressure line jetting to extract root growths and sludge.
- Bio-treatment application to clear soil pore blockages.
- Targeted repair and replacement of collapsed perforated lines.
