Jacksonville, FL · Drain Field Installation
Drain field installation in Jacksonville
When a drain field stops absorbing, wastewater surfaces in the yard or backs up into the house. We design and install new and replacement drain fields that suit the soil and water table on your lot, and leave the yard clean.
What's different in Jacksonville
- Seasonal high groundwater in much of Duval County affects how deep - and how big - a drain field can be. That's why some Jacksonville lots need a mounded system.
- In Florida, new drain fields and repairs require a permit through the state's onsite sewage program. We'll walk you through what's involved before work starts.
- Soggy spots that don't dry out after the rain stops, or grass that's greener over the field than anywhere else, are the early signs to watch for.

How do I know my drain field is failing?
Slow drains throughout the house, sewage odor outside, standing water or soggy ground over the field when it hasn't rained, and backups in the lowest drains. Our symptom checker can help you sort out how urgent it is.
Can a drain field be repaired instead of replaced?
Sometimes. A clogged line or a single failed section can occasionally be fixed. We'll tell you honestly which one you're looking at.
How long does a new drain field take?
The install itself usually takes a few days once the permit is approved. Weather and the size of the job make the biggest difference.
How long does a drain field installation take?
It depends on the site, the size of the system and permitting. We will give you a realistic timeline before work begins.
Can a failing drain field be saved?
Sometimes. An inspection tells us whether the field needs relief, repair or replacement.
