Signs Your Septic System Needs Attention
- Drains gurgling or running slow in the whole house (not just one sink)
- Sewage smell in the yard, basement, or near the tank
- Wet, spongy, or suspiciously green grass over the tank or field lines
- Sewage backing up into tubs or floor drains after laundry
- High-water alarm sounding on an aerobic or pump system
Any one of these gets worse with time, never better. Most start as a few-hundred-dollar fix.
What We Repair
Baffles and tees — the number-one failure on the older concrete tanks common around Vanderburgh County. Rotted baffles let solids into the drain field, which is how fields die. Lids and risers — cracked, unsafe, or buried lids replaced and brought to grade. Effluent filters and pumps — cleaned, repaired, or replaced, including float switches and alarms. Root intrusion and line blockages — cleared and the entry point fixed. Inlet/outlet line breaks between the house and tank.
If the problem turns out to be the drain field itself, we'll tell you that straight — see drain field repair & replacement — and you'll get options, not a scare quote.

Why the Honest Diagnosis Matters
Plenty of Tri-State homeowners have been quoted a full system replacement for what turned out to be a $400 baffle. We photograph what we find, explain it in plain English, and fix the actual problem. If a simple pump-out solves it, that's what we'll tell you.
