They can trace the problem to its source rather than guessing from one side of the system.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the advantage of hiring a contractor who does both plumbing and septic?
When drainage problems strike, the cause could be inside your pipes or out in the septic system. A contractor who handles both can pinpoint the source on one visit instead of having two separate companies pass the problem back and forth.
How do I know if my drain problem is a plumbing issue or a septic issue?
If multiple drains in your home are slow or backing up simultaneously, it's more likely a septic or main sewer line issue than a localized plumbing clog. A single slow drain is more often a pipe blockage, but a proper inspection confirms which it is.
Does Drain Chief serve rural properties outside of Forest Hill?
Yes, they serve the wider Harford County area including communities beyond Forest Hill. Calling ahead at (443) 250-0304 is the best way to confirm coverage for your specific address.
How often should a septic system in Harford County be inspected?
Maryland recommends septic inspections every 3 years for most systems, though annual checks are worthwhile if your system is older or your household puts heavy demand on it. Regular inspections catch small issues before they become serious failures.
Can tree roots damage my septic system or drain lines?
Yes, tree roots are one of the more common causes of drain line blockages and can also infiltrate septic tank walls or distribution boxes over time. A camera inspection of your drain lines can reveal root intrusion without any digging.
What happens during a septic tank inspection?
The technician will locate and uncover the tank access points, inspect the inlet and outlet baffles for damage, check liquid levels, and evaluate the condition of the drain field area. They'll also note any signs of structural problems with the tank itself.
