Your Coram Septic Crew

Coram is the last community on Highway 2 before West Glacier, a strip of homes, cabins, campgrounds and rentals along the Middle Fork of the Flathead River a few minutes from the west entrance to Glacier National Park. It is about 35 miles from Kalispell and the farthest northeast we go. There is no public sewer in Coram; every home, cabin and rental runs on its own septic system, and a great many of them exist to house park visitors from June through September. Coram septic is seasonal septic in rough ground. The valley is narrow here, the soil is river cobble and gravel near the Middle Fork and thin, rocky ground on the slopes, and groundwater rises with the river every spring. Many of the cabins and rentals were built with small systems for occasional use and now turn over guests every few days all summer, which fills a tank fast and asks a lot of a small drain field. Winter brings heavy snow and deep frost, and a lot of Coram houses sit empty and unheated from October to May, which is when a shallow line or an uninsulated pump tank freezes. We pump, repair, inspect and replace septic systems in Coram and up to the park boundary, and we build our schedule around the tourist season. Tell us where the property is and how it is used and we will give you a straight answer and a price before we start.

Common Septic Issues in Coram

The septic problems we see most around here, and how we handle them.

Rentals that turn over every few days

A Coram cabin can host a new set of park visitors every two or three nights all summer, which fills a tank built for weekend use in no time. We pump before the season, check the field, and set a mid-season follow-up for the heaviest-booked places so nobody’s vacation ends in a backup.

Empty and unheated from October to May

Many Coram houses sit vacant all winter, and that is when shallow lines and uninsulated pump tanks freeze. We winterize the vulnerable parts, keep the alarm wired where someone will hear it, and thaw and repair what froze before the first guests arrive.

River cobble and spring groundwater

Lots along the Middle Fork sit on gravel and cobble with groundwater that rises every spring with the river. A drain field there has little dry soil to work with in May, so keeping solids out of it with on-schedule pumping is what keeps it alive.

Septic Service in Coram: FAQs

Do you come all the way to Coram?
Yes. Coram and the stretch of Highway 2 up to the West Glacier entrance are the northeast edge of our service area, and we cover them. We do not go into the park or up the North Fork. Tell us where the property is and we will plan the trip.
When should a Coram rental be pumped?
Before the season, usually in May, with a mid-season check for the busiest places. A tank that fills in July with guests in the house is the call nobody wants to make, and the drive from Kalispell is long enough that planning beats an emergency.
Our Coram cabin is empty all winter. How do we keep the system from freezing?
Leave the snow on top of the tank and lines as insulation, insulate or heat-tape anything that runs shallow, and have the pump and floats checked in the fall if you have a pump system. We can look at your particular system and tell you what it needs before the cold sets in.
