Septic System Repairs in Hayward, WI – Fix It Right the First Time

Septic Problems Don’t Wait—Neither Should You

A failing septic system isn’t just inconvenient—it can become a serious health hazard and lead to property damage, environmental violations, and costly repairs if not handled promptly.

At Northern Roots Septic Solutions, we offer fast, effective, and long-lasting septic repair services throughout Hayward and Northern Wisconsin. Whether you’re dealing with pooling water, foul odors, backups, or system alarms, we’ll diagnose the problem quickly and get it fixed—the right way.

Common Septic Issues We Repair


No two septic problems are exactly alike, but here are the most common issues we encounter—and resolve—on a regular basis:

  • ⚠️ Clogged or Broken Inlet/Outlet Lines
    Disrupted flow between your home and tank or tank to drain field.
  • ⚠️ Damaged Septic Tanks
    Cracks, collapsed walls, corrosion, or root infiltration causing leaks.
  • ⚠️ Drain Field Failures
    Oversaturation, compacted soil, or improper filtration leading to standing water or slow drainage.
  • ⚠️ Baffle Failures
    Broken or missing baffles can disrupt tank function and damage the drain field.
  • ⚠️ System Alarms and Sensor Issues
    Electrical issues or pump failures in systems with warning lights or backup protection.
  • ⚠️ Soil Shifting and Settlement
    Changes in the land that disrupt the tank or drain field placement.

Many of these problems start small—and can be easily resolved if caught early.
