Your Hungry Horse Septic Crew
Hungry Horse is the small town on Highway 2 between Columbia Falls and Glacier National Park, built in the late 1940s for the crews that raised Hungry Horse Dam on the South Fork of the Flathead, and still a working town of year-round homes, a few motels and a growing number of vacation rentals on small lots a few minutes from the park entrance. There is no public sewer in Hungry Horse; every home is on a septic system, and many of those systems are as old as the town. Hungry Horse septic is canyon septic. The town sits in the narrowing valley where the Flathead River comes out of the mountains, on river gravel and cobble with shallow groundwater near the river and rocky, sloping ground up toward the reservoir. Lots are small, so the drain field has nowhere else to go, and the systems were sized for a dam worker’s family, not a rental that sleeps ten in July. Winters are hard here, with deep snow and frost that reaches any line set shallow in the gravel. We pump, repair, inspect and replace septic systems throughout Hungry Horse and the canyon, year-round. Tell us where the property is and what the system is doing and we will give you a straight answer and a price before we start.

Common Septic Issues in Hungry Horse
The septic problems we see most around here, and how we handle them.
Dam-era systems on small lots
Many Hungry Horse homes date to the dam construction years and carry tanks and fields set for a small family on a small lot. There is no room to make the field bigger, so those systems depend on regular pumping and an honest eye on the baffles and the tank.
Park rentals on an old system
A dam-era house turned into a vacation rental can see more use in one summer week than it was built for in a year. We set pumping for the season, check the system before the first booking, and tell you plainly if the field is being pushed past what it can take.
River gravel, shallow lines, deep frost
Lines set shallow in the canyon gravel freeze in a hard winter, and groundwater near the river rises every spring. We thaw and repair frozen sections, insulate what needs it, and pump on a schedule that keeps solids out of a field working in wet ground.
