Worried About Your Septic System in Montgomery AL? We’ve Got You Covered

Septic systems aren’t something most people think about until they stop working. Whether you're dealing with slow drains, foul odors, soggy spots in the yard, or planning a home addition, you need answers fast.

At Yellowhammer Environmental LLC, we offer septic system inspections, repairs, and upgrades across Montgomery AL to help you move forward with confidence.

How Can We Help?

From Minor Repairs to Full System Upgrades, We Handle It All

Septic problems can range from small, fixable issues to signs that a system is no longer able to keep up with your household’s demands. Sometimes it’s a broken pipe, a crushed line, or a failed drain field. Other times, it’s because your home has grown more bedrooms, more bathrooms, more water usage and the old system just wasn’t built for it.

We help homeowners understand exactly what’s going on below the surface. With clear inspections and real solutions, we help you decide whether a repair will do the trick or if a system upgrade is the smarter move. We’ve worked on systems of all shapes, ages, and soil conditions and we don’t guess. We diagnose.

Why Septic Inspections & Upgrades Matter in Central Alabama

Septic systems in Montgomery AL face unique challenges: clay-heavy soils, high water tables, and sudden heavy rain events. These conditions can push an aging or undersized system past its limit. If your home has been remodeled, if additional bedrooms were added, or if your household usage has changed, your old system may no longer meet state requirements.

An inspection is the first step toward clarity. We assess your tank, piping, and drain field not just visually, but with flow evaluations and soil analysis when needed. We look for signs of overloading, saturation, or failure. We also compare your current setup against what’s required based on your updated home layout. If the system isn’t sized for your occupancy, it won’t pass inspection or worse, it could back up into your home.

When repairs are needed, we create a plan that’s realistic and code-compliant. We handle the paperwork, coordinate with the health department, and walk you through the process. And if an upgrade is required, we help you design a system that’s built to handle your family’s current and future needs without tearing up your whole yard or starting from scratch unless absolutely necessary.

Home additions are exciting, but they come with responsibilities especially when it comes to septic. Before you frame that extra bedroom, let’s make sure your septic system can support it. One phone call now can save you months of delays and thousands in unexpected rework later.

What Are You Waiting For?

What’s Included in Our Septic Inspection, Repair & Upgrade Services


Full Septic System Inspection

We inspect every component of your existing septic system including tank, distribution box, lines, and drain field. Our inspections look for active failures, damage, capacity issues, and signs of overuse. We document findings clearly, so you know exactly what’s working and what’s not.

Septic System Repair Planning

If repairs are needed, we create a clear, actionable repair plan based on your inspection results and site conditions. We explain what needs fixing, why it failed, and how to prevent it from happening again. We help you understand your options without pushing you into unnecessary upgrades.

Septic Upgrades for Additional Bedrooms

Adding a bedroom or bathroom? Alabama code requires you to upgrade your septic system to match your home’s new occupancy level. We calculate the correct tank size and drain field length and update your system to pass inspection for the new footprint. It’s better to do this now than after the drywall is up.

Drain field Evaluation & Redesign

Drain fields are often the first part of a septic system to show signs of failure. We evaluate field saturation, soil condition, and layout to determine whether a new configuration, alternative location, or advanced treatment unit is necessary. Our redesigns are practical, efficient, and always built to code.

Health Department Coordination & Permitting

We work directly with Montgomery AL health department officials to ensure all repairs or upgrades are approved and permitted. We handle drawings, flow calculations, and communication, so you’re not stuck translating technical details or dealing with frustrating delays.

Ongoing Support & Documentation

After the inspection or upgrade is complete, we stay involved. We provide documentation for your records, inspection reports, and upgrade confirmations. If you're selling your home or planning future changes, this paperwork can save time and help avoid surprises during real estate transactions or renovations.
