Had a saturated drain field that the previous owner clearly ignored for years. Got 3 quotes and Torque was not the cheapest but they actually came out, looked at the system, and explained what they would do. Two guys, three days of work, and the yard looks better than before they got here. No surprises on the final bill. Will use them again.

ABOUT THIS SERVICE
Drain Field Installation in Southwest Florida.
New drain field installation covers two scenarios: a brand new home or building going up on raw land, and an existing property adding capacity (a guest house, second septic, or commercial expansion). Both are engineered jobs that require county-approved system design, soil work, and permitted construction.
We design for the actual conditions on your lot. Florida soil varies dramatically from Charlotte County sandy loam to Hillsborough County clay, and the design changes accordingly. Get the design wrong and the field fails in three years. Get it right and it lasts thirty.

Our septic alarm started going off at 10pm on a Saturday in McGregor. Called and a real person picked up. Tech was at the house just after midnight, found the issue with the pump, had it fixed by morning. Wife and I were impressed they didn't try to upsell us anything we didn't need. Honest work.
We needed a septic inspection for the sale of my mother's house in Park Shore on a tight timeline. Torque scheduled us the next day, came out, did the inspection, and emailed me a clean PDF report I could send to the title company that afternoon. Realtor was happy. Title company was happy. Closing on schedule.
I manage four restaurants from Bonita Springs up to Sarasota and we have used Torque for grease trap service across all of them for over a year now. Show up when they say, never miss a quarterly. Paperwork for health inspectors is always tidy and emailed same day. This is what reliable service looks like.
Routine septic pumping for our place off Daniels. Got quoted half of what a competitor wanted and the guy who did the pumping took the time to show me where the lid was and what the levels looked like. Gave me a written summary at the end. Nothing fancy, just professional and fairly priced.
Bought a place on Marco and the inspection flagged a tank that was at the end of its life. Torque came out, looked at it, gave us a realistic timeline, pulled the Collier County permit, and replaced the tank with minimal disruption to the landscaping. Excellent communication start to finish.
