Warning signs
Your tank will tell you. Usually quietly.
-
Every drain is slow at once
One slow sink is a clog. The whole house is the system.
-
Gurgling in the pipes
Air being pushed back up the line has nowhere else to go.
-
A smell out in the yard
Especially near the tank lid or over the drainfield.
-
Grass greener over the drainfield
Or wet, spongy ground when it hasn't rained.
-
The alarm is going off
On a pump or ATT system, that's the system asking for help. Don't just silence it.
-
Backups in the lowest drain
A basement shower or floor drain usually shows it first.
How it works
One call. One contractor. No runaround.
Not all situations are the same, so the answer shouldn't be either. Here's how a job goes.
-
You call Kyle
Call or text 458-215-0075. You speak directly with the contractor who'll be doing the work, not an office.
-
We find what's actually wrong
Locate it, open it up, look properly. You get options for the issue at hand and enough information to make the call yourself.
-
Done right, start to finish
The same person from the first call to the final cover. That's what owner-operated means, and it's why the scheduling is simpler.
Licensing
Look us up. We'd like you to.
Licensed, bonded and insured. Every number on this page is public record. Check any of them before you book; anyone digging in your yard should be happy for you to.
FAQ
Questions people ask Kyle most.
Anything else, call or text. You'll get a straight answer.
Mainly Lane, Linn, Benton, Marion and Douglas counties, from our base in Cottage Grove. But we'll go anywhere, so if you're outside those, call and ask.
Yes. We're available 24/7, including nights, weekends and holidays. Call 458-215-0075 any time.
Alternative Treatment Technology: a system that treats wastewater further than a standard tank before it reaches the drainfield. Some sites in Oregon need one, and they need regular servicing under a maintenance contract, which we offer.
Buyers and lenders often ask for one, and it's far better to know about a problem before closing than after. We do DEQ certified inspections and know how real-estate transactions work.
Yes. Military, law enforcement, first responder and senior discounts are all offered. Mention it when you call.
Wipes (including the ones labelled flushable), grease and cooking oil, paper towels, medications, paint and solvents, and large amounts of bleach. The system relies on bacteria to do its job, and all of these get in the way.
