Necessity is the mother of invention. As a business Student at Portland State University I lived 70 miles from my favorite resort Mt Hood Meadows. Working part time as an instructor to get a season pass and stacking my full time school schedule into 2 or 3 days are all symptoms of an addiction to skiing. The necessity and addiction was further fueled by the opportunity to compete in biathlon competitions with the National Guard. As a typical college student I could not afford the 140 mile round trip commute to the Mountain. I tirelessly searched forums and YouTube to build a cooking oil conversion for a 1980 international Scout with a diesel engine. The Blog documenting the conversion is www.VeggieScout.blogspot.com. After commissioning and graduating in 2007 I deployed to Iraq with Aco 41 BSTB (SAPPER) Oregon National Guard. Upon my return I started my hobby full time and it is now becoming my life's work. We have a lot of ambitions ahead of us to accomplish our goals of sustainable energy and look forward to the trip.

Fall rain is in full swing, and that wet driveway is a familiar sight around here this time of year.

This truck is set up at a wooded home in Boring for a routine septic tank pumping, and honestly, this is the kind of visit homeowners never regret.

Heavy rain puts extra pressure on your system, and a full tank can lead to soggy ground, slow drains, or even a backup right when you least want it.

Regular septic tank cleaning keeps everything flowing the way it should and helps you avoid costly drain field repair later.

Nothing beats a quiet morning out on a job site, open tanks, tools in hand, and a four-legged supervisor making sure we do it right.

This is what routine septic tank pumping looks like up close. Using the vacuum hose to access those tanks lets us clear out buildup before it turns into clogs, backups, or drain field repairs down the road. Late October is a great time to get this done in Boring, before heavier fall rain starts saturating the ground around your system.

Those pipes going into the ground right now are the lifelines of this home's entire wastewater system.

A septic installation is more than just dropping a tank in a hole. Every line in these trenches has to be set at the right slope and depth so waste flows properly from the house to the tank and out to the drain field.

Cut corners here, and you are looking at septic tank or drain field repair years earlier than you should. Mid-October is a smart time to get this work done, since the ground is still in good shape before the season's heavy rains settle in.

Once the system is in, keeping it healthy is simple with routine septic tank pumping, septic tank cleaning, and a septic inspection every few years. Good septic maintenance now means no surprise backups later.

We handle septic installation and septic tank replacement for properties in Boring, Happy Valley. We serve the greater Portland Metro Area and offer 24/7 Emergency Service if your current system fails without warning.

When the Scout truck pulls into your driveway, you'll hear your septic problem getting solved.

Fall is one of the busiest times of year for septic service, and for good reason. October rain puts extra pressure on tanks and drain fields, and small issues like slow drains or gurgling pipes can quickly turn into full backups. A routine septic tank pumping or septic inspection now can save you from a messy emergency later.

Our trucks are stocked and ready for whatever we find, from septic tank cleaning and septic maintenance to septic tank repair and drain field repair when the problem runs deeper.

• Septic tank repair and drain field repair

Breaking ground on a new septic system is one of the most important projects a property owner will ever take on.

That trench is the foundation for decades of reliable wastewater service. Proper excavation sets the depth, slope, and placement for the tank and drain field, and getting it right the first time prevents costly septic tank repair and drain field repair later.

October is prime time for this kind of work, since the ground is still dry enough to dig before the heavy rains arrive.

• Excavation and grading handled by our own crew
• Septic inspection to see if your aging system is due for an upgrade
• Septic tank pumping and septic maintenance to protect your investment

We handle septic service for homes and businesses throughout Damascus, Boring, and the entire Portland Metro Area, and we offer 24/7 Emergency Service whenever a system failure cannot wait.

A new septic system starts with a big dig, and this excavator work is what a proper septic installation looks like from day one.

Getting the hole dug, leveled, and prepped the right way matters more than most people realize. A sloppy excavation can lead to drainage problems, settling, and expensive drain field repair down the road.

Our crew handles the digging, grading, and septic tank replacement work ourselves, so nothing gets lost between contractors.

Fall is a great window for this kind of project. The ground is still workable before the winter rains roll in, and finishing now means your system is ready for the wet season ahead.

✔ Septic inspection to check aging systems
✔ Septic tank pumping and septic maintenance plans

Out where the trees are tall and the mountain is the backdrop, our operator is on the Bobcat getting a site ready for real septic work.

Many rural properties around here need more than a simple pump-out, and that is where our equipment and experience make the difference.

From septic installation and septic tank replacement on raw land to septic tank repair and drain field repair on existing systems, we handle the digging, grading, and prep work in-house. Fall ground conditions are ideal for this kind of project, before winter rains soften the soil and shorten work windows.

If your system is older, a septic inspection or septic tank cleaning can also tell you whether repair or replacement is the smarter move.

• Full septic service from pumping to new installations
• Licensed and insured technicians on every job

We serve properties throughout Boring, Damascus, and the greater Portland Metro Area, and we offer 24/7 Emergency Service when your system backs up and cannot wait.
