Terralift: A Cost-Effective Solution for Septic Drain Field Restoration
Terralift is an innovative machine designed to restore failing septic drain fields by aerating the soil around the drain lines.

Septic system issues can be frustrating, especially when your drain field becomes saturated or compacted. Many homeowners and business owners fear the worst—having to replace their entire septic system. But before you consider costly excavation, there’s a better option we're excited to offer our customers: Terralift.
Terralift is an innovative machine designed to restore failing septic drain fields by aerating the soil around the drain lines. It’s a cost-effective and eco-friendly alternative to replacing your system, helping to extend its lifespan while keeping your property intact.
How Terralift Works
Unlike traditional methods that require digging up your yard, Terralift penetrates deep into the soil to improve drainage and restore functionality. Here’s how the process works:
- A trained professional uses a probe to bore into the soil around your septic drain field.
- Compressed air is injected into the soil, creating new cracks and fissures that improve drainage.
- Small polystyrene beads are inserted into the fissures to prevent them from closing, ensuring long-lasting aeration and improved septic performance.
The Benefits of Terralift
Terralift offers several advantages over traditional drain field replacement:
✅ Saves Money – Avoids costly excavation and full septic system replacement.
✅ Preserves Landscaping – The process does not disturb your lawn, garden, or outdoor space.
✅ Eco-Friendly – No chemicals, no pollution—just an effective solution for restoring septic function.
✅ Highly Effective – Addresses septic issues caused by soil compaction, saturation, and improper drainage.
When Is Terralift Useful?
Terralift is ideal for residential and commercial properties experiencing drainage problems in their septic drain field. However, it’s not just limited to septic systems—it can also be used to improve water absorption in lawns, landscaping, and even athletic fields where standing water is a concern.
