Emergency Septic Service in Somers, MT
Sewage backing up, toilets not flushing, or an alarm going off? Fast help to stop the mess and get you running again.
Emergency Service in Somers
A septic backup is not a "next week" problem. It is sewage coming into your home or surfacing in your yard, and it gets worse and more expensive the longer it sits. If your toilets and drains have stopped working, sewage is backing up into tubs or floor drains, you smell it inside, there is effluent surfacing over the tank or field, or a pump alarm is going off, that is an emergency and we treat it like one. We provide fast emergency septic service across the Flathead Valley, year-round. We come out, find why the system stopped (a full tank, a clogged or frozen line, a failed pump, or a saturated drain field), pump the tank to relieve the backup, and get you running again. In winter that often means thawing a frozen line at a house that was fine until the cold snap; in spring it often means a field drowned by runoff. The first priority is stopping the mess and getting your household functional; then we tell you straight what failed and what it takes to keep it from happening again.
Septic service in Somers
Somers sits at the very north end of Flathead Lake on Somers Bay, about ten minutes south of Kalispell on Highway 93, an old rail and sawmill town that has become a quiet lakeside community of year-round homes, cabins and a growing number of new houses on the slopes above the bay. Some of the town is served by a local sewer district; the homes along the lakeshore east and west of the bay, the places up the hill toward Highway 82 and the farm and acreage ground north toward the Lower Valley mostly run on their own septic systems. Somers septic is a mix of lake and valley floor. Near the bay the ground is low and wet, with groundwater close to the surface in spring and a drain field that has to make do with little dry soil. Up the hill the soil is cobbly glacial gravel that drains fast. And because Somers has long been a place people retire to or keep a cabin in, we see a lot of older systems, often undersized, often with no records, on properties now changing hands to buyers who want an inspection before closing. We pump, repair, inspect and install septic systems in and around Somers. Tell us where the tank is and what is going on and we will give you an honest answer and a real price.

Common Septic Issues in Somers
The septic problems we see most around here, and how we handle them.
Low, wet ground near the bay
The ground around Somers Bay sits low, and the water table rises close to the surface every spring. A drain field there is working in wet soil for weeks at a time, so keeping solids out of it with on-schedule pumping is the single best thing an owner can do.
Older cabins that became year-round homes
Plenty of Somers places started as summer cabins with a small tank and a short field and are now lived in full-time. Those systems are undersized for the load. We pump them more often, inspect the field honestly, and tell you when it is time to plan a replacement.
Sewer or septic, and which lots are which
Part of Somers is on a sewer district and part is not, and the line between them is not obvious from the street. If you have no sewer charge on a bill and do not know where your tank is, we locate it and tell you what you have.
