Septic & Drainfield Remediation
Find the cause and choose the right next step.
A septic backup or wet drainfield has more than one possible cause. All-Flo investigates the flow path from the home through the tank, effluent or pump system, distribution piping and drainfield to identify whether a repair or remediation option is appropriate.

What the service includes
- Inspect and clean accessible piping where a restriction, root intrusion or damaged section is suspected.
- Evaluate pumps, alarms, distribution components and visible signs of field distress as the site allows.
- Where biomat-related loading appears to contribute, discuss whether a SludgeHammer® aerobic bacterial generator is appropriate for the system and local approval process.
How the visit goes
We ask questions first
What is happening, how long, what changed. It narrows the cause before anyone drives out.
Diagnose on site
The technician finds the actual cause instead of treating the symptom you can see.
Options, then a price
A high-end and a low-end option, both explained, quoted before any work starts.
Fix it and clean up
Work done right the first time, and the space left the way we found it.
When to use this service
Biomat can thicken and restrict drainfield infiltration, but high groundwater, unsuitable soils, overload and structural failures may require another remedy. We explain the inspection findings, options and follow-up needs for the specific site. Some systems will require repair or replacement instead.
Common questions
Do you pump tanks?
Our work is the plumbing side: pumps, lines, controls and backups. If your tank needs pumping we will tell you and point you to a hauler.
