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.

Leach field replacement isn't your only option
Most leach fields don't fail because the pipes are broken — they fail because the soil around them has sealed up. Years of wastewater compact the soil and build a biomat that water can't soak through. TerraLift opens that soil back up so your existing leach field absorbs water again.
Why homeowners choose TerraLift
- Less cost. Treatment runs a fraction of what a new leach field costs.
- Less mess. No trenches, no torn-up landscaping, no heavy equipment parked on your lawn for days.
- Less downtime. Most treatments are finished in a single day.
- Built for the foothills. Clay soils, slopes and rock are exactly where compaction shows up — and where TerraLift does its best work.

TerraLift Leach Field Rejuvenation FAQ
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.
