About Loose Ends Repair & Septic Tank Pumping
I'm based in Hickory and cover a full range of septic services for both homes and businesses. That means installations, repairs, replacements, inspections, pumping, and drainfield repairs. My approach starts with understanding the site: I dig perk holes so the county can perform the soil observation and testing needed to approve a system, and I match tank and system choices to what the ground and permit will support.

The specific system type for any property depends on the permit and site conditions, so I design and install what fits after the soil work is done.
Licensing

What Hickory Homeowners Should Know
I work throughout Hickory and the surrounding area. Not every property here is on septic — many homes are on municipal sewer — so if you're unsure, check your utility bill or your county permit records before scheduling work.
For homes outside sewer coverage, the Piedmont clay soil around here matters a great deal for how a system is designed and how it drains. That's why I start new work with perk holes and county soil testing. If you're planning a new build or a replacement, my septic system installation work covers tank sizing, chamber selection, and riser placement per the manufacturer's schedule and the permit.
Routine septic tank pumping intervals vary by tank size and household use, and a slow drain, an odor, or pooling in the yard warrants evaluation rather than a guess. If you're buying or selling, a septic inspection checks the pipes and tanks for signs of damage or clogging before the deal closes.
