What is it?
A septic system is a water treatment system that processes and disposes of sewage and other wastewater (think showers, laundry, dishwashing & more) by collecting that water from the home or other building(s), then routing it underground first into a holding [septic] tank, then distributed through different channels called a drain-field.
how to they work?
Through the plumbing in our homes and other buildings, wastewater collects in the septic tank. From there, most solid materials settle and are broken down by anaerobic bacteria. Any scum left (fat, oil, and grease) that floats on the top is held in the tank via a filter in the septic tank. The remaining liquid wastewater (also called effluent) runs through a port on the tank and routed through pipe then dispersed into a drain field. The drain field, also underground, is made up of perforated pipes that are laid in trenches and subsequently covered over with earth. These trenches allow the soil to absorb & naturally filter the remaining liquid while also protecting ground water sources from contamination.

Feel free to take a look around - it’s a dirty job…but somebody’s gotta do it!

"We had storm damage to tree on our lot. The tree was positioned between our wellhead and a propane tank. The CRG team dropped the tree without any damage, cleaned up the mess, and hauled all the debris away in under an hour. Excellent work."

"I could not have been happier. They were quick to respond to my inquiry for a quote on my job. They explained exactly how they would fix my drainage problem and gave me a reasonable quote for the work. They showed up when they said they would, did the work quickly and efficiently and left me a happy customer that will not hesitate to use them again."
