Who We Are

Trusted Plumbers for Septic System Homes

At Harts, we specialize in helping septic homeowners with plumbing problems that happen before waste reaches the tank. From gurgling toilets to sewer line clogs, our licensed plumbers know how to diagnose and fix the issues that often get mistaken for septic failure. We don’t pump or service tanks, we focus on the drainage and sewer systems leading up to them, providing fast, reliable solutions backed by years of local experience.

What We Fix vs. What Needs a Septic Pro

We’re your go-to team for everything from your home’s plumbing system to the sewer line that leads to the tank, but we stop there. We’ll let you know if it’s time to call a septic contractor.

✅ Harts Handles:

  • Sewer line blockages and root intrusions

  • Cracked or aging sewer lines (before the tank)

  • Camera inspections to locate plumbing issues

  • Drain clogs in kitchens, bathrooms, and utility rooms

  • Hydro jetting for stubborn blockages

  • Diagnosing odor, venting, and gurgling issues

  • Sump pump and gray water drain complications

🚫 Not Handled by Harts:

  • Septic tank pumping or inspection

  • Drain field failures or repairs

  • Septic tank baffle, riser, or lid work

  • System-level septic maintenance

These symptoms typically point to a blockage, venting issue, or broken sewer line, all of which fall under plumbing.

Tank or Sewer Lines

Common Plumbing Issues in Septic System Homes

Many homeowners in Seattle and King County rely on on-site sewage systems instead of public sewer connections — in fact, over 85,000 septic systems are registered across King County. While the county oversees permitting, education, and inspections for septic systems, Harts focuses on the plumbing side of the system with everything leading up to the tank.

If you’re experiencing drainage problems, our licensed plumbers can help determine whether the issue is within your home’s plumbing or the start of the sewer line. Common signs of plumbing-related problems in septic homes include:

Call us if you notice:

  • Toilets bubbling or gurgling when not in use
  • Water backing up into showers, tubs, or sinks
  • Drainage issues after running the dishwasher or washing machine
  • Localized clogs (one bathroom or kitchen drain)
  • Persistent drain odors
  • Slow-moving drains across the home

These symptoms are often caused by sewer line clogs, venting problems, or collapsed pipes, and are not a full septic tank.
