Septic Tank Installation & Replacement
We handle septic tank installation and replacement from start to finish, using durable, corrosion-resistant materials designed for southern Utah’s carbonate-rich Aridisol soils.
Septic Tank Pumping & Cleaning
Routine septic tank pumping (every 3–5 years) removes sludge and solids before they block the system. We provide both septic system cleaning and sewage tank cleaning for homes and small businesses.
Septic Maintenance & Inspections
Regular septic maintenance keeps your system balanced and extends its lifespan. We inspect tanks, baffles, filters, and septic ejector pumps to ensure proper function.
Septic System Installation & Design
Whether building new or replacing an old cess tank, septic pit, or septic well, Element provides full septic system installation, soil testing, and permitting to meet Washington County health codes.
Septic Field & Drain Field Repair
Drain fields can clog from sludge or mineral buildup. We rejuvenate or replace lines to restore percolation and prevent overflows.
Sewage Line & Ejector Pump Repairs
Basement bathrooms and laundry rooms often rely on sewage ejector pumps. We repair or replace pumps and sewage lines to prevent flooding or odor issues.
Septic Tank Filter Replacement
Filters trap solids before they enter the drain field. We clean or replace filters during regular maintenance visits to keep your system efficient.

When to Call a Professional for Sewer or Septic Problems
Even small sewer or septic issues can turn serious fast. Watch for these warning signs around your home:
- Gurgling toilets or slow drains throughout the house
- Sewage odors near drains, vents, or the yard
- Wet, spongy soil or standing water near the septic area
- Patches of bright green grass above buried lines
Sewage backing up into tubs, floor drains, or sinks
If you notice any of these, it’s time to call Element Plumbing, Heating & Air for professional sewer or septic service. Quick action can prevent property damage, contamination, and costly repairs.
And when it comes to underground work, safety always comes first. Sewer and septic repairs involve excavation, unstable soil, and gas or utility lines, making DIY attempts extremely dangerous.

At Element, our certified technicians use proper safety equipment, trench-stabilization procedures, and precise leak-and-line-locating tools to ensure every sewer repair, septic tank installation, or line replacement is done safely and correctly.
