It sits inside the tank at the outlet pipe — the side where liquid exits toward your drain field.
Most King County systems installed after the mid-90s have them. If you’re unsure, we can identify your system type in minutes.
No. We only need access to the tank’s manhole or riser lid. Your landscaping stays intact.
We pull the cartridge, pressure-rinse the debris back into the tank to contain the mess, and re-install it.
No! Do not attempt opening the tank yourself unless you’ve done it before and know how to do it safely. Septic tanks trap toxic gases like hydrogen sulfide and methane. One deep breath can be fatal; leave the lid-pulling to the pros.

Usually under an hour. It’s a quick maintenance stop that prevents a week-long repair headache.
Raw solids will flow directly into your drain field. This will eventually “seal” your soil and require a full system replacement costing thousands.
