What we do

Septic Tank Repair and Drain Field Restoration

Every septic repair here starts with an inspection of the tank and the drain field. From there the work can mean drain field restoration, riser access, an effluent filter, or maintenance visits on a schedule.

Septic Aeration System

A compact aeration and bacteria unit installs inside your existing septic tank. Air plus living bacteria digest the solids that would otherwise clog your drain field.

Septic Tank Risers

We install septic tank risers that bring the tank access up to ground level. Cracked or buried lids get replaced with a riser lid that fastens down.

Effluent Filters

An effluent filter screens solids out of the water leaving your septic tank, so they never reach the drain field. We install filters on existing tanks and clean them on every service visit.

We Fix the Drain Field You Have Instead of Replacing It

The usual pattern in this trade is to wait. A system backs up, the drain field goes soft, and the answer is a replacement quote. The EPA notes that a failing system can carry pathogens and nutrients into groundwater and surface water. On a lake, those nutrients feed algae.

We work the other way around. A job starts with a free look at the tank and the field. If biomat is clogging the soil, the answer is biological drain field restoration rather than a new field. After that the system stays on a service schedule.

The unit itself is compact and goes inside the tank through the access opening. A small air pump outside pushes air through it, and bacteria on the growth media do the rest. Most installs are finished in a day. We are based in Statesville and work about 50 miles out, around Lake Norman and High Rock Lake.

How We Work

How a Job With Everclear Runs

From the first call or text to the first follow-up visit, here is how it goes.

1

Call or Text Us

Tell us what the system is doing: slow drains, a smell, wet ground or a backup. We set a time to come look.

2

Free On-Site Evaluation

We open the tank and check levels, scum and sludge, the baffles and the outlet. Then we look at the drain field for wet spots and odor.

3

A Plan Before Any Work

We tell you whether biological restoration fits, and whether the tank needs riser access or an effluent filter. If it will not work, we say so and point you to the right contractor.

4

Install Day

We call NC 811 to locate utilities before anything is dug. The unit goes in through the tank access opening. The air line is trenched and the pump is set outside.

5

First Check, Then a Schedule

We come back about 30 days after the install to check the unit and the pump. After that the system stays on a set service schedule.

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions About Septic Repair and Restoration?

The questions Lake Norman and Piedmont homeowners ask us most. If yours is not here, call or text and we will answer it.

Call (336) 624-7314

How does biological drain field restoration work?
A compact aeration and bacteria unit goes inside your existing tank, through the access opening. An air pump outside feeds a diffuser, and bacteria on the growth media digest the solids in the tank. The treated water carries those bacteria into the drain field, where they break down the biomat. That is the short version of how the aeration and bacteria unit works.
Is this a permanent fix for my drain field?
A restored field starts taking water again, but the system still needs care. The bacteria have to be fed and the equipment has to be checked. Year one includes three visits, then the system moves to two service visits a year. Once it is stable, that drops to one visit a year with a bacteria treatment.
What happens to my yard, and how long does the install take?
Most installs are finished in a day. The unit goes in through the tank access opening, so the drain field is not dug up. The only digging is a shallow line for the air pipe from the pump to the tank. We call NC 811 to locate utilities before that line goes in.
Will I still need my septic tank pumped?
Pumping needs drop sharply because solids are digested instead of stored. State rule 15A NCAC 18E .1303 still calls for pumping when scum plus sludge pass one third of liquid depth. We measure those depths on every service visit and tell you when the tank is due. Everclear does not pump tanks, so we point you to a pumper.
What does the free evaluation cover?
We open the tank and check the liquid level, the scum and sludge depths, the baffles and the outlet. We look for an effluent filter and for riser access at ground level. Then we check the drain field for wet spots, soft ground and odor. This is a diagnostic visit, not a real-estate inspection, which in North Carolina needs a state-certified inspector.
What areas do you serve?
We are based in Statesville and work about 50 miles out. That covers the Lake Norman towns: Mooresville, Cornelius, Davidson, Huntersville, Denver, Sherrills Ford and Troutman. It reaches Salisbury and High Rock Lake, Hickory and Lake Hickory, Lake Tillery and north Charlotte. Iredell, Mecklenburg, Rowan, Catawba, Lincoln, Cabarrus, Davie, Davidson, Forsyth and Alexander counties are in range.
What should I stop putting down the drain?
Wipes, paper towels and feminine products do not break down, so keep them out of the toilet. Cooking fats and grease harden in the tank and push solids toward the field. Go easy on bleach and harsh drain cleaners, since they kill the bacteria doing the work. Spread laundry out instead of running every load in one day.
What if restoration will not work on my system?
Some problems are mechanical, not biological. Crushed drain lines, a structurally failed tank or a field sitting in groundwater will not respond to bacteria. We tell you that after the evaluation and point you to a contractor who does that work. Everclear does not replace tanks, install new systems or put in new drain fields.
