SEPTIC SYSTEM INSTALLATION & REPAIRS
Risha Enterprises provides professional septic system installation and repair services for homeowners and property owners throughout Sunbury, Ohio and surrounding areas. With more than 35 years of hands‑on experience in excavation and onsite wastewater systems, we install, repair, and replace septic systems built for efficiency, durability, and full compliance with health department regulations.
If your property relies on a septic system instead of city sewer, you need a contractor who understands soil conditions, system design, code requirements, and how your septic system will perform in real‑world conditions. Our team handles every phase of the process, from planning and permitting to final inspection, backfill, and grading. Whether you are building a new home, replacing a failing system, or repairing existing lines or tanks, we deliver reliable service you can trust.
Your septic system is one of the most important systems on your property. We make sure it is installed correctly, safely, and built to last.
Complete Septic System Installation
Installing a septic system requires careful evaluation of soil, drainage, slope, and regulations. We work with county health departments to ensure systems are compliant and built for long-term performance, handling everything from excavation and tank placement to leach field installation, trenching, backfilling, grading, and permit coordination for new, replacement, or additional systems.
Health Department Compliance
Septic systems must meet specific code guidelines regarding tank placement, drain field design, pipe slope, and distance from structures and wells. We coordinate with inspectors and follow all required permitting processes so your installation is compliant from day one.
Soil and Site Planning
Different soil types absorb wastewater at different rates. We take site and soil conditions into account to ensure your drain field performs properly and safely.
Quality Materials and Durable Installations
We only use dependable materials and proven installation methods to help prevent leaks, clogs, and premature system failure. Your system is carefully graded, sloped, and tested during installation.
Septic System Repairs and Troubleshooting
When a septic system fails, it can cause serious inconvenience and potential health hazards. At Risha Enterprises, we provide fast, reliable septic repairs for damaged tanks, clogged lines, failing drain fields, and other system problems.
Common signs your septic system needs repair include:
- Slow draining sinks or toilets
- Sewage odors inside or outside the home
- Standing water or wet spots in the yard
- Gurgling drains
- Frequent backups
- Lush or unusually green grass over the drain field
If you notice any of these symptoms, contact us immediately for an assessment.
Our repair services include:
- Septic pipe repair and replacement
- Tank repair or replacement
- Drain field troubleshooting
- Leach line replacement
- Distribution box repair
- Excavation for system access
We diagnose the issue, explain your options clearly, and provide honest recommendations regarding repair versus full replacement.
Septic System Replacement
Older septic systems eventually wear out, especially if they were not installed to modern standards or have been operating for decades. When systems fail repeatedly or cannot be cost‑effectively repaired, replacement may be the best solution.
We provide full removal and replacement of outdated or non‑functional septic systems, including new tank installation and upgraded drain fields designed to meet current code requirements. Our goal is to restore your wastewater system quickly and safely with minimal disruption to your home.
