Michigan Drainfield stands behind every restoration with clear waivers and strong warranties. Review the terms below and download the full documents for your records.
You book an on-site visit online or by phone. A trained technician evaluates your septic system and drainfield using a detailed inspection checklist. We identify the cause of failure, measure performance, and document conditions.
You get a clear explanation of your system’s health. We provide a written quote and restoration plan tailored to your property and budget. If your system qualifies for restoration, your assessment fee is credited toward the work.
Restores flow and function quickly, often within a few hours. Includes a 5-year limited warranty with 50% off any re-Kickstart within the term.
Installation of the SludgeHammer Restoration System or other corrective solutions. Provides long-term biological treatment to keep your system healthy. Backed by a 5-year warranty and $1,500 credit toward a new field if recommended within the term.
