Most "my septic died" calls turn out to be a few-hundred-dollar fix — a burned-out air pump, a cracked line where the clay shifted, a clogged sprayer. We find the actual problem and price every option before a shovel touches your yard.
Common Repairs
The #1 aerobic failure. Without air, treatment stops within days and the alarm sounds. We stock common pumps for one-visit fixes.
Typically $350–$700 installed
Clogged, broken, or mower-victim sprinkler heads put untreated water where it shouldn't be. Quick fixes that protect your permit.
Typically $150–$400
Blackland clay's swell-shrink cycle cracks lines at the joints; tree roots find the cracks. We locate, excavate, and replace the bad section.
Typically $600–$1,600
Saturated or biomat-clogged drain fields on older Denison and rural properties — options from D-box fixes to full replacement, permits handled through Grayson County.
Quoted on site; permits handled
Repairs beyond routine maintenance generally involve Grayson County Health Department / TCEQ permitting — we handle that paperwork as part of the job.
On aerobic systems, usually a treatment failure (dead aerator or empty chlorinator). On conventional systems, often a vent or early field saturation. Either way it's a cheap look now versus an emergency later.
Not always. Black clay ponds surface water badly, and a wet spring can pool rain in the tank excavation area. If it's there in dry weather, smells like sewage, or pairs with slow drains — call.
Sometimes — fixing the distribution problem or resting lines can buy years. We'll tell you honestly when restoration is worth trying and when the money belongs in a replacement or aerobic conversion instead.
Tell us the symptoms; we'll tell you what it probably is and what it costs to know for sure. All of Grayson County.
