Outside city limits the rules change: septic instead of sewer, well instead of city water. We plumb for the system you actually have.
A big share of Alachua, Gilchrist, and Levy County homes run on septic tanks and private wells. Plumbing decisions that are harmless on city utilities can wreck a septic system: the wrong garbage disposal habits, a water softener discharging into the tank, a leaking toilet flapper quietly flooding the drainfield with hundreds of gallons a day. We've plumbed rural homes from Micanopy to High Springs for two decades, and we treat the septic system as part of the plumbing, because it is.
Slow drains at every fixture, gurgling after laundry, soggy grass or a sewage smell over the drainfield, those are septic warnings, not just clogs. Catching them early is the difference between a service call and a five-figure drainfield replacement. If something feels off, call (352) 316-3745 and describe it, we'll tell you honestly which trade you need.
Pumping is its own trade and we stay honest about our lane: we handle the plumbing side, diagnose whether the problem is your lines or your tank, and refer a good local pump-out when that's what you need.
Usually a reaction between sulfur bacteria in well water and the anode rod in your water heater. There's a proven fix, and it isn't replacing the heater.
Yes, badly. A silent flapper leak can push hundreds of gallons a day into the drainfield and drown it. It's the cheapest repair on this page and it prevents the most expensive failure.
