Drain Field Restoration in Charlottesville, VA, and the Nearby Areas

Speedy Rooter is more than just an expert plumbing team, as we are also a trusted drain field restoration company in Charlottesville, VA, and the surrounding areas. Your septic system is an integral part of your property. An underground wastewater treatment structure that is found mostly in rural areas without centralized sewer systems, a typical septic system consists of a septic tank and a drain field. The septic tank digests organic matter and separates floatable matter (e.g., oils and grease) and solids from the wastewater. The way it works, water runs out from one main drainage pipe into your septic tank. This then holds the wastewater, allowing solids to settle down and form sludge, while the oil and grease float to the top as scum. The liquid wastewater called effluent then exits into the drain field.

The drain field receives all wastewater from the septic tank. Once water can no longer drain through the soil, however, you will need drain field restoration services in Charlottesville, VA, or nearby areas to address the failure. Fortunately, our team specializes in such solutions.

Drain Field Restoration FAQs For Customers

As the expert when it comes to providing drain field solutions such as Terralift septic repair in Charlottesville, VA, and other areas we serve, Speedy Rooter can address all your concerns regarding your septic and drain field.

How do you clean a drain field?

We start each drain field restoration in Charlottesville, VA by having the septic tank pumped and cleaned so our plumbers can know the condition of the tank and baffles. We then locate the drain field and hydro jet the lines. In many cases, this process is all you need to get the drain field working again. If the drain field is not accepting fluid after the cleaning, the Terralift procedure is recommended.

Is the Terralift a short-term fix?

Not at all! With proper care and upkeep of a septic system, it should last as long (if not longer) than it already has.

What is your guarantee?

We guarantee that the soils around the drain field lines will accept fluid for a period of one full year. If it slows down or stops within the year, we will redo the procedure or return your fee.

Is the Terralift procedure expensive?

Not when you compare it to the expensive and time-consuming installation of a new drain field. Terralift is light enough to be driven on the drain field and used immediately, even if the system is overflowing and covered with water. It takes just one day and you will be able to use your plumbing as soon as the operation is complete. It will not disturb your lawn and it can save you thousands of dollars!
