"John is very responsive and professional when it comes to dealing with the customer. He does what he says he will do. His team was on time to do the diagnose and assess the problem. The septic pump install went without a hitch. He even let me borrow a loaner pump so we can live normally while the new pump was being ordered,"

"i have been using Shaw for 10 years and they have installed all my AC. i have told them that they do a good service but overcharging. they replace a dual run start device which should cost between $150 to $250 (hardware cost $30) for $500. it is upsetting to see them taking advantage of old clients."

FAQs for septic system repair projects in Alexandria, VA

Leach field failure can often occur due to a lack of proper maintenance, hydraulic overload, or environmental factors. When too much water enters the septic system—like running multiple large laundry loads back-to-back—it can overwhelm the leach field. Regular professional inspections, ongoing maintenance, and spacing out high-water-use activities help prevent failure.

A septic tank shows repair needs when noticeable symptoms arise around your home. Noticeable signs include strong sewage odors at fixtures, recurring pipe blockages, pooling water or damp patches near the leach field, and areas of unusually bright green or spongy grass. These indicators confirm that deteriorating components or clogs exist. Monitoring such signs and scheduling timely professional inspections prevents further costly damage.

Adhering to a strict, scheduled maintenance plan prevents septic system repairs. An annual inspection and a pump-out every three to five years safeguard your system’s performance. Additionally, only flushing waste and toilet paper, installing drain filters, keeping nonapproved items out of the system, and avoiding excessive water use help maintain your septic system’s health and efficiency.
