Your Lakeside Septic Crew
Lakeside runs along the west shore of Flathead Lake on Highway 93, about fifteen miles south of Kalispell, strung between the water and the slopes that climb to Blacktail Mountain. It is a lake town through and through: homes and cabins on the shore, newer houses stepping up the hillside with a view, and the ski-area road winding up behind. A local water and sewer district serves part of the community along the highway, but a great many Lakeside homes, especially up the hill and along the shore toward Angel Point and south toward Rollins, run on septic. Lakeside septic is steep septic. Lots drop from the highway to the water or climb from the highway up the mountain, so a drain field is often not where the house is, and an effluent pump lifts the water to it. The ground is rocky and shallow in places, cobbly glacial gravel in others, with the lake itself setting the setbacks for anything new. We see pump systems at second homes that nobody is in when the alarm sounds, shoreline systems that predate today’s rules, and a steady stream of buyers who want an inspection before they close on a view lot. We pump, repair, inspect and install septic systems all over Lakeside and the west shore. Tell us where the property is and how the access looks and we will come prepared.

Common Septic Issues in Lakeside
The septic problems we see most around here, and how we handle them.
Steep lots and effluent pumps
Most Lakeside homes sit well above or well below their drain field, so a pump tank and floats move the water. Those pumps wear out, and a failure stops the whole system. We test and replace pumps and floats and make sure the alarm is wired where someone will hear it, especially at a part-time home.
Shoreline systems and lake setbacks
Older west-shore cabins carry systems set close to the water, sized for weekend use. Flathead Lake water quality is watched closely, and a replacement on a shoreline lot has to meet today’s setbacks. We inspect honestly and tell you what the county would likely require.
Rocky, shallow ground on the hillside
Up Blacktail Mountain Road the soil is thin over rock in places, and a drain field has little room and little depth. Keeping the tank pumped so solids never reach the field is what makes a small hillside field last.
