Septic System Repair

Don't Wait on Septic Problems

Septic systems rarely fail without warning. There are usually signs — slow drains, odors, soggy ground, a system alarm — and catching those signs early almost always means a smaller repair and far less disruption to your property.

Fulcrum Contracting diagnoses septic problems thoroughly and honestly. We tell you what's wrong, what the options are, and what we recommend — without pressure and without guesswork.

Call Us If You Notice:

• Slow or gurgling drains throughout the home
• Sewage odors inside or outside the building
• Wet, soggy, or spongy areas above the drain field
• Unusually lush or green grass over the septic area
• Sewage backing up into toilets or drains
• An alarm light or alert on your septic control panel
• Your system hasn't been serviced in several years and you're noticing changes

What We Repair

• Tank Repair & Replacement

  Cracked lids, damaged inlet and outlet baffles, failed pipes at the tank, and structural tank issues. We assess what can be repaired and recommend replacement only when it's truly necessary.

• Drain Field Problems

  A failing or failed drain field is a serious septic issue. We evaluate the extent of the problem and walk you through the repair or replacement options — including whether the existing field can be rehabilitated or needs to be replaced.

• Pump Repair & Replacement

  Effluent pumps and floats wear out over time. We have a limited electrical license which allows us to handle any electrical issues you might have with your septic pump, whether we're replacing, repairing, or servicing your pump system.

• Pipe & Distribution Box Repairs

  Root intrusion, broken pipes, and failed distribution boxes all affect how wastewater moves through your system. We locate, diagnose, and repair these components correctly.

• Alternative Treatment Technology (ATT) System Repairs

  ATTs have mechanical and electrical components that standard septic contractors aren't always equipped to handle. We have the specialized experience to diagnose and repair these systems — including aerators, pumps, floats, and alarms.

• System Upgrades & Modifications

  Sometimes a system needs to be modified rather than just repaired — due to a change in household size, a property addition, or updated regulatory requirements. We handle the county authorization and the alterations that may be needed to make the system work for your situation or project needs.

We Diagnose Before We Recommend

1. 1

   Initial Conversation

   We start by understanding your situation — what you're experiencing, how old the system is, and when it was last serviced — and schedule a site visit.

2. 2

   On-Site Diagnosis

   We inspect the tank, baffles, distribution components, and drain field to identify the actual problem, not just the visible symptom. You'll get a clear explanation of what we find.

3. 3

   Honest Recommendation

   We lay out the options, including associated costs, and give you our honest recommendation. If a repair is the right call, we say so. If the system is beyond repair, we'll tell you that too.

4. 4

   Quality Repair Work

   We complete the repair using proper materials and methods, pulling required permits and coordinating inspections where needed. We don't cut corners to save time.
