OUR PROJECTS
One of our Inman calls started as an active backup that couldn't wait. John (Ivan) Rusev pumped the tank the same day and found the underlying problem during that visit. Alex Rusev came out the very next day for the full repair, and the system was working normally again in under 48 hours. That's the pace we aim for on anything urgent, in Duncan or anywhere nearby. A pump-out alone would have only hidden the problem for a while. You can read the full story of this emergency septic pumping and full system repair in Inman on our projects page.

Comprehensive Septic Repair Services in Duncan, SC
We don't just fix one part of your system. We make sure the entire system works in harmony, from a malfunctioning pump to a saturated drain field. If the problem turns out to be in the sewer lines and not the tank, our sewer line cleaning and repair service covers that separately.
We diagnose first, and that can mean pumping the tank, probing the drain field, or checking the pump and floats, depending on what the symptoms point to. Then the crew repairs the specific part. For anything involving the tank, we bring a pump truck, and we bring excavation equipment when a pipe or the drain field needs to be exposed.

What a Repair Costs and How We Work
Cost depends entirely on what's actually wrong. A tank holding 1,000 gallons is what about 80% of the homes we work on have, and a straightforward repair on it costs far less than a drain field rebuild or a new system installation. We won't put a number on it until we've seen the system, and we give a written quote after a site inspection.
Real jobs show the spread. On May 6, 2026, relocating a working drain field in Moore cost $10,550. In September 2026, replacing a deteriorated concrete tank on Campground Road in Spartanburg cost $5,600. A routine pump-out on a 1,000-gallon tank ran $400 on both June 22 and July 29, 2026, with extra work at the tank included.
As of September 2026, cash and check carry no fee, cards carry a 3% fee, and ordinary jobs need no deposit. Our repairs carry a 5-year warranty.

Common Septic Problems
A lot of what we find around Duncan traces back to the drain field. An odor and wet soil over the field are the first things to watch for. Drainage that gets worse every time it rains comes next, and wastewater backing up into the house is the one I take most seriously. Older systems built for a smaller household cause many failures, and so do poor soil and heavy equipment parked over the field.
A septic alarm going off has a few usual causes too. In an older home, it's often a pump that's failed. After heavy rain, it can mean water is getting into the system that shouldn't be, through bad grading or a leak. In new construction, it's sometimes nothing more than a float that needs resetting. Either way, call someone out and skip the guessing. In April 2026, an alarm in Inman turned out to be floats that had shifted out of position, and the fix took one visit. See that same-day alarm repair for how a small problem looks when it's caught early.
Pipe blockages from roots or grease and cracks in the tank itself round out the list. Duncan sits on Piedmont clay, which drains slowly, so all of these escalate fast. Calling a local septic repair professional early often prevents a full system replacement.

Frequently Asked Questions
A small problem left alone tends to become a bigger one. A misaligned float or a minor blockage is cheap to fix. Wait long enough and you're looking at a failed drain field or a full system replacement, which costs several times more. Rock Solid's own pricing data from June 2026 puts drainfield repair at $3,000 to $15,000 or more, and a tank replacement on Campground Road in September 2026 cost $5,600. On Settle Road in Inman, a tank that went ten years without service had grease choking the inlet baffle by June 22, 2026. We caught that one at the baffle stage, and the visit cost $400.
Yes. We run repair calls around the clock. An active backup or an alarm that won't stop gets priority over routine scheduling. We can't guarantee same-day arrival on every call, but emergencies go first.
Piedmont clay soils around Duncan can absorb and move wastewater more slowly than sandier soils. When the soil stays wet or has a high seasonal water table, the drainfield has less capacity to accept effluent, which can lead to slow drainage, surfacing wastewater, or backups during periods of heavy use or rain. That is why septic design in this area depends heavily on the site’s soil evaluation, trench depth, and available drainfield area.
We diagnose first, and that can mean pumping the tank, probing the drain field, or checking the pump and floats. Then we give you a clear price and explanation before any work starts, do the repair, and confirm the system is actually working before we leave. If the work needs an SCDES permit, we handle the paperwork, which usually takes about one and a half to three weeks. Before we go, we walk you through what was done and clean up the site.
We also handle septic tank pumping, new system installation, drain field repair, pump and control panel repair, and sewer line cleaning and installation.
