Septic & Excavation in St. Paris, Ohio

St. Paris is a short run west of us on US-36, and the surrounding townships are some of the most familiar ground we work.

The village has municipal utilities, but essentially everything outside the corporation limit is on private septic. Johnson and Jackson Township properties make up a steady share of our septic installs and replacements.

Soils west of Urbana run heavier in places, and we have installed a mix of conventional fields and aeration systems here depending on what the soil evaluation returns.

Long rural driveways are common in this part of the county, and rebuilding a lane that has washed out or turned to washboard is regular work, usually a base and drainage problem rather than a stone problem.

It depends on your soil more than anything else. A conventional gravity leach field on well-draining soil costs meaningfully less than a mound system or an aeration system with a pump and control panel. We do not quote a number until after the soil evaluation, because anything given before that is a guess dressed up as a quote. Call for a free site visit and we will give you a firm written number.

The common signs are standing water or unusually green grass over the drain field, sewage odor near the tank or field, slow drains and gurgling toilets throughout the house rather than at one fixture, backups into the lowest drain, and an alarm sounding on an aeration or pump panel. Any of those means stop using water heavily and call. Continuing to load a struggling field is what turns a repair into a replacement.
