In Depth Look
What’s Included in Our Fracking, Testing, and Soil Evaluation Services
Understanding your soil and underground system layout is essential for both new installations and troubleshooting existing issues. At A&R, we provide non-invasive, code-compliant inspection and diagnostic services designed for accuracy, clarity, and actionable results.
Soil Fracture Services
If your drain field is saturated or slow-draining, soil fracturing may be a viable, non-invasive solution. This process uses compressed air injected into the soil to break up compacted ground and create channels for wastewater to flow.
When it’s used:
- Failing leach fields
- Slow drainage without system damage
Preserving landscaping and avoiding full replacement
Probe Surveys
Our team uses metal and digital depth probes to identify buried septic components like tanks, boxes, and pipes, ideal for homeowners without accurate system maps or preparing for renovations.
Why it matters:
- Prevents accidental damage during digging
- Aids in system diagnosis and mapping
- Minimal disruption to lawn or hardscape
Perc Testing
A certified percolation (perc) test measures how quickly soil absorbs water, critical for determining the right system for your property. We handle the full testing process.
Applicable for:
- New system design
- Site evaluation for additions
- Unbuildable or compacted lots
Site Evaluations
We conduct full visual and technical reviews of your site, identifying grade changes, drainage patterns, and setback conflicts before installation begins. These assessments save time, reduce rework, and help you stay compliant.
Distribution Box Locating & Leveling
Uneven wastewater distribution can overload parts of your drain field. We locate and reset distribution boxes to ensure even flow, prolonging system life and reducing odors or wet spots.
Septic System Locates (e.g., for pools, fencing, remodeling)
Before you dig, let us map your system. We use a combination of probe tools and camera locating to mark tanks, lines, and drain fields, helping you avoid costly mistakes or failed inspections.
Cluster System Maintenance
Shared systems serving multiple buildings or units require scheduled inspections and balancing. Our team monitors flow, condition, and output to keep large-scale systems in peak shape.

We recently had to have our Septic system relocated in our yard - A&R Wastewater Management did a fantastic job and was very reasonably priced considering the size of our project. Jacob was great to work with; he was prompt and thorough with any questions we had, and they had the job completed in two days. Jacob also came back the next day to go over all the tasks that were done and to ensure we were 100% satisfied with the job performed. I highly recommend A&R Wastewater Management for any of your septic needs! Carl FitzTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After several years of chemotherapy drugs being dumped into my septic system my septic field failed. Jacob designed and installed our new system. From the time Jacob started digging he had our system installed and back filled within 24 hours. Not only is Jacob the owner, but he did the installation too! I highly recommend A& R Waste Management for septic pumping or septic installation. Lynn ChiuTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. First class service.
