Why you keep your property clear of drainage problems:

Allowing water to seep into your basement or crawlspace.
Burden on Septic system creating the inability for wastewater to leach
Bringing mosquitoes into your yard.
Causes fungus and other diseases in your lawn to grow.
Inability to mow or use your yard

To fix drainage problems in your yard:

Fill in any low spots in your yard with topsoil.
Slope the ground next to the foundation away from your house.
Make sure planting bed borders aren’t preventing water from draining away from your foundation.

Failure symptoms: Mind the signs!

A foul odor isn’t always the first sign of a malfunctioning septic system. Call a septic professional if you notice any of the following:

Wastewater backing up into household drains.
Bright green, spongy grass on the leachfield, even during dry weather.
Pooling water or muddy soil around your septic system or in your basement.
A strong odor around the septic tank and leachfield.

Mind the signs of a failing system. One call to a septic professional could save you thousands of dollars!

Toilets Aren’t Trash Cans!

Your septic system is not a trash can. An easy rule of thumb? Don’t flush anything besides human waste and toilet paper. Never flush:

Feminine hygiene products
Condoms • Dental floss
Diapers
Cigarette butts
Coffee grounds
Cat litter
Household chemicals like gasoline, oil, pesticides, antifreeze, and paint
Pharmaceuticals

“I want to thank Alliance Septic and Excavating for their assistance in helping my family. Not only did they respond to our concern quickly (ridiculously quick) they also gave a lot of helpful tips while working in the process of fixing the septic system. Ben gave us advise that if he had not, we would still be at square one. We have dealt with other companies around in trying to fix our problem and only did Alliance septic found out the problem. We greatly appreciate your hard work and diligence. We will recommend you guys to everyone! We already have plans for Alliance to come out and help us with our driveway !!! Thank you!!!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Alliance was a top notch professional business! We never felt like we were a nuisance with questions or made to feel stupid. Ben was always quick to explain what he was doing and why-he was such a blessing. We were having problems for a couple of years and were reluctant to seek help because we had no idea who we could trust or afford. Ben set our minds at ease immediately with his broad knowledge base and experience. We ended up having a practically total septic system replacement. Would I recommend Alliance Septic and Excavating? In a heartbeat! We now have peace of mind that it was a job done correctly with expertise and finesse.
Absolutely NO regrets!
We feel like we were treated fairly by him as well as the Preble County Health Department. Thanks to everyone involved with our case!
