We have been providing drain field repairs in the Lakeland, Florida area since 1958.

Drain Field Repair in Lakeland – When wastewater leaves your septic tank, it travels through pipes to the drain field on your property. Here, wastewater is treated naturally and eventually absorbs into the ground. If the drain field fails to complete this process successfully, your entire septic system could fail. Luckily, at Averett Septic Tank Co Inc., we are here to help with our drain field repair services.

When it comes to drain field repairs, you can often determine if your drain field will fail long before the issue becomes an extensive problem. We recommend calling us right away for drain field repairs if:

Your toilets flush slowly
There is a gurgling noise in your drains
Backups occur in your toilets or in the other plumbing structures of your building
You notice that odd or unpleasant odors pervade the area around your septic tank
Wet spots start showing up in your yard or on the ground surrounding your building
Pump or high water level alarms start to go off

Because we recognize the serious nature of drain field repairs, we won’t waste any time processing your request and travelling to your location when you call us to come and fix your drain field. Once we arrive, we’ll get right to work assessing the damage and determining what solutions are available to you.

Highly recommend.

“This was our first time calling Averett Septic Tank Co Inc. for service because our regular septic company said their truck was broken for a few weeks and we could not wait. Averett quickly scheduled us for service the next day, and our field worker, Scott Bryant, arrived very promptly and was friendly. He explained what he was going to do, and there were no hassles. Scott recommended and provided a quote for an easy cover tank riser because it would give us easier access when removing and cleaning the filter. We have switched to Averett Septic Tank Co Inc. and highly recommend them.”

Jessie Gomez

Had my septic pumped and had tank caps installed. Their turn around time was great and Timmy (who installed the caps) was fantastic! Not only did he do a stellar job installing the risers without issue, but he also took the time to use the grass that was dug up and lay them around my yard, as well as neatly add the extra dirt back into my flower beds.

Response from the owner:Jessie, your review made our day! Thank you for describing the quality work that Timmy provided for your septic tank as well as his conscientious care for your entire yard. We pride ourselves on taking great care of our customers, so we hope you'll give us a call back whenever we may be of further assistance.

Leslie Trickey

Chris was early to the appointment, professional, very knowledgeable and courteous. I would highly recommend this company.

Sean Walter

I had Ron and Tim over today to assist. I have always said its how you address little things that makes a loyal customer. These Gentlemen have made a customer of me while i have this house. They go above and beyond and are truly interested in taking care of a problem.

Response from the owner:We couldn't be happier to hear this feedback, Sean! Thank you for sharing how impressed you have been with Ron and Tim's exceptional service, and rest assured that we will continue to provide this same level of outstanding care going forward. Give us a call anytime!

Troy Ballantine

Second time using Averett. Technicians Josh and Chris were very prompt, took their time to answer all of my questions, showed me what they were talking about at the tank, and did the job quickly of pumping my tank. Bad news is I need a new drain field which I sadly was expecting. Good news is the septic tank is in "real good" condition. Time to get a drain field replacement quote :-).

12/10/25 - Don't see how I can add another review so editing. I went with Averett's quote for my new drain field. Kmart, Alex, and James came out today and installed my new drain field. They did a great job, were on time, took the time to answer any questions I had (it was interesting to watch), and completed it in the day it was scheduled. Thanks!

Response from the owner:That’s what we love to hear! Thanks for trusting our team!

Official Joker

Great people super helpful, hard to find a reliable company nowadays I’d like to give a special thanks to Kaleb again man.

Response from the owner:Thanks for giving us five stars! We appreciate your feedback.

Paul Rippeth

Averett Septic Tank Company was very polite and punctual. I want to call out Alex Jordan. I schedule an appointment, and Alex came to Lake Placid to evaluate a picture I sent them of my driveway septic tank cover. Alex immediate diagnosed and determined a corrective action to get my tank pumped!
His contacts and resources were a great help! On Monday, a young healthy man (I think his name is Josh) came to my place and removed the 3/4" metal plate that Alex procured to pump my tank.
My tank was a mess; it hadn't been pumped in over 20 years.
I highly recommend Averett Septic Tank Company, Alex and Josh! I would have added some photo; Josh took a bunch for my file.

Response from the owner:We're glad we could help with your septic system, Paul! We appreciate your kind review.

Caylee LeFan
