TerraLift leach field rejuvenation

Our specialtyDon't replace it — rejuvenate it
TerraLift Leach Field Rejuvenation
TerraLift restores the soil around your existing leach field so it drains again. A narrow probe goes into the ground beside your leach lines, high-pressure air fractures the compacted soil, and polystyrene beads are injected to hold those new drainage pathways open. Your septic system goes back to work — no trenching, no excavator in your yard, and a fraction of the cost of a new drain field.
- No trenching or excavation
- Fraction of the cost of replacement
- Done in a day on most homes
- Your yard stays your yard
Wet spots? Slow drains? Sewage smell?
Those are leach field warning signs — and we fix the cause. BAM Septic Solutions finds what's failing and gets your septic system draining again, usually without digging up your yard.
- Soggy, spongy or bright-green ground over the leach field
- Slow drains and gurgling toilets throughout the house
- Sewage odor in the yard
- Water backing up into the lowest drains or the cleanout

TerraLift questions
What is TerraLift?
TerraLift is a drain field rejuvenation system. It uses high-pressure air to fracture compacted soil around your leach lines, then injects polystyrene beads to keep those new pathways open so wastewater soaks into the ground again.
How long does a TerraLift treatment take?
Most residential leach fields are treated in one day.
Will you dig up my yard?
No. TerraLift works through a narrow probe. There's no trenching and no excavation of your leach field.
How much does TerraLift cost compared to a new leach field?
TerraLift costs a fraction of leach field replacement. Call (530) 599-0993 for an estimate on your property.
