Spotting A Crumbling Concrete Tank

Concrete breaks down over decades of holding acidic wastewater. The structural walls get thin and start leaking raw sewage straight into the dirt around your house. You will notice the ground getting soft and smelling like rotten eggs when you walk outside. Ignoring a leaking container just contaminates your groundwater and ruins your landscaping.

→ From a professional standpoint: If the grass over your tank is perfectly green during a dry month you have a serious underground leak that needs immediate attention.

Why Digging It Up Yourself Ends Badly

Trying to dig up your own waste system to save a buck is a terrible idea. You need heavy machinery to move massive amounts of dirt and lift thousands of pounds of old concrete safely. One wrong move with a rented backhoe can crush your main sewer line and cost you double to fix. We bring in the right equipment and experienced operators to rip out the old junk without destroying the rest of your Greeley property.

This commitment to doing the heavy work safely is something our customers appreciate.

►Client Experience: B Johnson shared "Matt's expertise and professionalism has been invaluable. On another house he found a crumbling tank that would have cost us $10K. He is informative, honest and an all around great guy to have on your side."

Having an honest expert look at your property saves you from buying into a massive headache later.

How Do You Fix A Failed Drain Field?

You fix a failed drain field by digging out the ruined soil and replacing the clogged pipes with a completely new layout. When a biomat of thick bacteria coats the trench walls the water has nowhere to go and backs up into your house. You cannot pour chemicals into the ground to dissolve a dead field. Our crew strips away the ruined dirt and installs fresh rock and piping to get the water flowing correctly again.

Building A Solid Waste Setup

A brand new setup gives you peace of mind for decades if it gets put in the ground properly. We handle the dirty work from the initial digging to the final dirt grading. Our team also sets you up with routine septic pumping services to keep the new hardware running clean. Call us to get a straight answer on what your property needs to stay safe and functional.
