New septic drain field trenches with gravel and perforated pipe near Granite Falls

Drain field installation and replacement in Granite Falls, WA

When the drain field fails, the whole system backs up. Stratton installs new fields and replaces worn-out ones so your system drains the way it should.

Signs your drain field is failing

Soggy ground or standing water over the field, grass that's suddenly greener there than anywhere else, sewage smells in the yard, and drains that slow down or gurgle all point to a field that can't keep up. A failing field doesn't fix itself, and waiting usually makes the job bigger.

What's included

  • Looking at the site and the existing system to see what's really going on
  • Trenching to the approved layout
  • Gravel and perforated pipe set at the right depth and slope
  • Connection back to the tank and distribution box
  • Backfill, grading and cleanup

New fields and replacements

For a new build, the drain field goes in as part of the full system. For an existing home, a replacement field is often the fix that keeps a good tank in service. James will tell you straight whether you need a new field or a repair, and what it'll take.

FAQ

Drain Field Installation: common questions

Still wondering about something? Call or text, James is happy to help.

Can a failing drain field be repaired instead of replaced?

Sometimes. It depends on what's causing the problem. James will look at it and tell you honestly whether a repair or a full replacement makes sense.

How do I know if it's the drain field or the tank?

Backups and slow drains can come from either. James tracks down the actual cause before anything gets dug up.

Will my yard be torn up for long?

No. Stratton gets jobs done faster than most and backfills and grades the site when the work is finished.
