We recommend a professional septic and leach field inspection once per year and septic tank pumping every 3–5 years, depending on usage. Regular service prevents costly repairs and keeps your system running safely.
For more than 65 years, Southern Arizona homeowners have trusted Rite Way to keep their homes safe, clean, and running smoothly. Your leach field, also called a drain field or soil treatment unit, is the underground part of your septic system that disperses treated wastewater safely into the ground. When it is working properly, your yard, your property, and local groundwater stay protected.
Many homes throughout Tucson and Southern Arizona rely on septic systems rather than municipal sewer connections. Because of this, a properly functioning leach field is essential for protecting your property, maintaining safe wastewater treatment, and preventing contamination of surrounding soil and groundwater.
A failing, saturated, or clogged leach field can cause sewage backups, foul odors, and major property damage. Our licensed septic experts provide fast, honest, and reliable leach field repair, maintenance, replacement, and new installation all backed by the Rite Way promise of integrity, quality workmanship, and exceptional customer care.

Prompt, courtesy, knowledgeable. Repaired our A/C. Explained what we needed but did not pressure us to do the maintenance on our other unit. Very happy with the repairs and maintenance service.

Finally upgraded the old evaporative (swamp) cooler and wall heaters to a complete cooling and heating system. I looked at several manufacturers, Lennox, Carrier, Rheem, and Trane. When I had Rite way give me a estimate I wanted to spend less however when we reviewed the coverage and the services and the maintenance plan I went with Rite way. The Trane package unit with variable speed has a great efficiency seer rating. The installation crew was awesome. Josh and Robert were excellent. So thorough and detailed. Gary the project manager was great in the set up and follow up. Thanks Gary. I was glad I went with Rite Way heating and cooling. ---- Follow up --- John came back recently because of a musty smell, turns out the REME HALO unit was the smell. John set the unit in enhanced mode and it works very good and I like the variable speed fan and capacity of this unit. Thanks John ---Additional Follow up --- 10/12/2026 I have had this unit for 5 1/2 years now. It has been working great summer and winter. Nyle Miller did the seasonal cleaning and he brought up a way to help prevent dust and dirt buildup on the fan and evaporator. They needed thorough full cleaning. We have several cats and a dog that seem to stir up the dust. The standard filter does not catch all the dust. Nyle told me about the electrostatic air filter to help keep the evap and fan clean, along with the indoor air quality benefits. He worked up a good deal for me. I accepted and he did an outstanding job. Thank you Nyle.Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.

Routine septic tank and leach field maintenance helps keep your system healthy and extend its lifespan. Rite Way’s service includes:
Routine maintenance is one of the most effective ways to prevent premature leach field failure. Excess water usage, sludge buildup, and soil compaction can gradually reduce the system’s ability to absorb wastewater. Regular inspections allow potential problems to be identified early before they lead to costly repairs or system replacement.
