FAQ

Septic questions, answered

Straight answers to what Middlesex County homeowners ask us most.

  • What are the warning signs of a failing septic system?

    Slow drains, gurgling pipes, sewage odors, soggy or unusually green ground over the leach field, or backups indoors. If you're seeing any of these, call us — catching it early is almost always cheaper than waiting.

  • Do you offer emergency service?

    Yes. We're available 24 hours for septic emergencies like backups and overflows. Call 860-490-2527 and we'll get to you.

  • What towns do you serve?

    Middletown, Durham, Haddam, Higganum and the surrounding Middlesex County towns. We stay local on purpose — it keeps our pricing competitive and our response times short.

  • Do I need a septic inspection before buying a home in Connecticut?

    Connecticut doesn't have a statewide point-of-sale septic requirement, but a pre-purchase evaluation is one of the smartest things a buyer can do, and many agents and attorneys recommend one. We turn inspections around quickly so they don't hold up a closing.

  • Do you do excavation and site work too?

    Yes. Beyond septic, we handle foundation excavation, site preparation, grading, and water and sewer line work — the same local crew that does your septic.

  • Are you licensed and insured?

    Yes — we hold CT Home Improvement Contractor license HIC.0700921 and we're fully insured. We work to code with the local health districts.

  • Do you give free estimates?

    We do. Give us a call and we'll get you a free estimate.
