Septic Service in Bigfork, MT

Your Bigfork Septic Crew

Bigfork sits where the Swan River empties into the northeast corner of Flathead Lake, about twenty minutes southeast of Kalispell, a resort village with a lot of lakeshore, a lot of second homes, and almost no sewer outside the village core. The homes along the lake at Woods Bay and down the east shore, the places up Swan Hill and along the Swan River, Eagle Bend and the golf-course neighborhoods, the ground north toward Creston and east toward Ferndale: nearly all of it runs on septic. Bigfork septic is lake septic. Flathead Lake water quality is watched closely, and aging shoreline systems are the first thing a buyer’s agent asks about. Lake lots here are often steep, stepping down from the road to the water, so the drain field sits above the house and an effluent pump does the lifting, and when that pump fails at a summer home in February nobody is there to hear the alarm. The soils run from cobbly glacial gravel on the benches to shallow, rocky ground along the shore where there was never much room for a field in the first place. Add a short-term rental market that fills a house every summer weekend, and you have systems that need an honest eye and a pumping schedule built around how the house is actually used. We pump, repair, inspect and install septic systems all over the Bigfork area. Tell us where the property is and what is going on and we will give you a straight answer.
