Septic work, start to finish
From an alarm going off to a brand-new system on a bare lot. If it’s outside what we do, we’ll point you to someone who can help.
Troubleshooting and repair
Alarm sounding, pump not running, water where it shouldn’t be. We find the cause, explain it plainly and fix it: pumps, floats, alarms and control panels.
Typical situations
- Alarm going off
- Pump or float failed
- Control panel fault
- Backing up or slow to drain
Drain field repair and replacement
A soggy yard or a system where nothing drains often points to the drain field. We dig in, find what failed, and repair or replace it.
Typical situations
- Wet ground over the field
- Nothing draining
- Older system failing
New system installation
Complete septic systems for new builds and replacements: concrete or poly tanks, risers, lines and drain field, set and connected.
Typical situations
- New construction
- Failed system replacement
- Tight timeline for a home sale
Tank replacement and risers
We replace worn-out tanks and add risers that bring the lids up to ground level, so the tank is easy to reach for every check from then on.
Typical situations
- Cracked or failing tank
- Lids buried below grade
Maintenance
Routine care that catches small problems before they turn into a dig. Ask what your system needs and how often.
Typical situations
- System check-ups
- Advice on keeping it healthy
Excavation and site work
Dirt and concrete work on its own or around a septic job: trenching, excavation, grading and debris removal.
Typical situations
- Trenching
- Excavation and grading
- Dirt and debris removal

4.9 out of 5 stars
Read all 75 reviews on GoogleI contacted Austin in a panic on a Sunday after our septic was overflowing into our yard. He was able to coordinate emergency septic pumping a diagnose our issue the same day via phone and text and was out within 48 hours to complete the repairs needed… You have a customer for life!
Austin and his team replaced our septic tank with such precision and care. They are wizards with the excavator and are all very friendly, professional and courteous. Austin was very responsive when I had questions or concerns. I would recommend them in a heartbeat.
Andre B.Tank replacement Austin was prompt to respond and fit me into his schedule quickly before the weekend. He showed up and quickly diagnosed the problem, and had everything back working in a few hours. Very hard working, knowledgeable, and easy to get along with. Will be recommending him and his company to anyone who needs his services.
Josh C.Diagnosis and repair Austin went above and beyond on getting our septic tank installed on a really quick timeline for the sale of our house. Would highly recommend his service to anyone.
Mike M.New tank for a home sale Great communication, pricing upfront, very honest. Will absolutely hire again and will be sharing his information.

Owner-run and proud of the work
A Austin’s Septic Company is Austin Sharer and a small crew based in Snohomish. We install, repair and maintain septic systems across Snohomish County, and we do the excavation and site work that goes with them.
We’re a small business, and we take pride in personal relationships and quality work. Customers tell us that’s what they notice: a straight explanation of what’s wrong, the options laid out with the price up front, and a crew that treats the job with care.
If something is outside what we do, we’ll say so and point you to someone who can help. And every job comes with the same promise: guaranteed satisfaction.

Call(425) 446-1004Common questions
If yours isn’t here, call or text. We’d rather answer it than have you guess.
My septic alarm is going off. What should I do?
An alarm usually means the water in the tank is higher than it should be, often because a pump, float or control has stopped working. Press the silence button on the alarm if it has one, keep water use to a minimum (hold off on laundry, dishes and long showers), and call us. A lot can be narrowed down over the phone.
Do you handle new installs as well as repairs?
Yes. We install complete new systems for new builds and replacements, and we troubleshoot and repair existing ones: pumps, floats, alarms, control panels, tanks and drain fields. We also do the excavation and site work around them.
Can I reach you after hours or on a weekend?
Yes. Call or text (425) 446-1004 whenever the problem starts, weekends included. If we can’t pick up straight away, leave a message or send a text with your address and what’s happening, and Austin will get back to you.
What should I have ready when I call?
Your address, what you’re seeing or hearing (an alarm, a backup, a wet spot in the yard), when it started, and roughly how old the system is if you know. Photos of the alarm panel or the problem area help, and you can text them.
How much will it cost?
It depends on what’s wrong, so we don’t quote blind. Once we know the problem, we walk you through the options and give you the price up front, before any work starts.
What area do you serve?
Snohomish County. We’re based in Snohomish and work across the county. If you’re near the county line or not sure, call and ask.
