Drain Field Clog Remediation in Reno
A clogged drain field is a frequent cause of septic system backups and can be a significant issue for homeowners in Reno. This can be caused by excessive solids, tree root intrusion or soil compaction. We offer professional drain field remediation, which may include hydro-jetting the distribution lines, addressing root infiltration or assessing the soil's percolation capacity to restore proper effluent absorption and prevent future saturation.

Septic Pipe Repair and Replacement in Reno, NV
Damaged pipes leading to or from your septic tank can cause backups, leaks and unpleasant odors. These pipes, often made of PVC or cast iron, can crack due to shifting soil, root invasion or age. Most homes sit on concrete slabs, so leaks in buried supply lines often show up as damp areas on the floor or higher water bills. FMR Plumbing offers complete pipe repair and replacement services, including excavation, precise pipe fitting and backfilling, protecting the integrity of your entire septic system in Reno, NV.
Septic Baffle and Tee Repair in Reno
Baffles and tees keep scum and solids in the tank so they do not flow out into the leach field. Concrete baffles crumble from hydrogen sulfide gas, and plastic tees can break off. When they fail, solids clog the field quickly. We replace damaged baffles with durable PVC tees and add an effluent filter where appropriate.

Many septic tank issues can be prevented with regular maintenance. FMR Plumbing offers routine inspections and preventative repairs to catch small problems before they turn into costly emergencies. This includes checking sludge levels, inspecting pipes for leaks or damage and advising on proper septic system care suited to the climate and usage patterns common in Reno.
