Why We Do What We Do

Challenging the Status Quo

The septic industry has long relied on expensive, disruptive solutions that leave homeowners frustrated and financially burdened. At Septic Genie, we challenge the status quo. We believe there’s a smarter, more efficient way to address septic problems—one that protects your system, your wallet, and the environment.

In the traditional septic industry, homeowners are often given two costly options:

Pump the tank more frequently
Replace the entire drain field — often at a cost of $10,000 to $50,000 or more

Not only are these options expensive and disruptive to your property, but they also generate significant environmental waste through the disposal of biohazardous materials.

At Septic Genie, we believe there’s a better way.

Innovating Septic Care

With over 60 years of combined experience in the septic industry, we’ve seen firsthand the disruption septic failure can cause — from costly repairs to ruined landscaping and lost peace of mind. We’ve had too many difficult conversations with homeowners about failing septic systems, and it became clear: there had to be a smarter, cleaner, and more sustainable way to restore them. That’s why we created a solution that doesn’t just treat the symptoms — it fixes the problem, protects your home, and saves you money.

What We Believe

You shouldn’t have to dig up your yard or drain your savings just to keep your toilets flushing.

In 1995, licensed contractor Jerry Fife co-invented the technology that would become the foundation of the Septic Genie system. Originally known as the Pirana System, it was distributed through septic installers for use in professional-grade applications.

But Jerry saw a bigger opportunity — to empower homeowners directly.

In 2005, he redesigned the system to make it affordable, homeowner-friendly, and DIY-installable. That’s when Septic Genie was born.

Made in the USA, the Septic Genie system is:

Cost-effective — a fraction of the price of a new drain field
