Reliable Septic Tank Pumping in Atlanta

According to the EPA, sewage backing up or gurgling in drains, slow drains, bright green spongy grass over the drain field, and pooling water or odors near the tank or field are common warning signs. A full tank can send solids into the drain field. Slow drains inside the house can have other causes, so drain cleaning may be the better first call. Septic tank installation is the next step when a system has failed.

The EPA says a household tank is typically pumped every three to five years. A small tank used by a big household needs pumping sooner than a large tank used by one or two people. A garbage disposal also shortens the interval.

Tank size, how full the tank is, how easy it is to reach the lid, and how far the truck must park from the tank all affect the price. Digging to uncover a buried lid can add to the job. Get a free estimate

No, the EPA does not recommend septic additives for household wastewater, since a tank already holds its own bacteria and additives can be ineffective or harm the system. Regular pumping is the recommended approach, and a clogged drain field can call for a new septic system.

For a typical family home, no. Skipping pumping lets solids move from the tank into the drain field, where they can clog it, and pumping alone will not fix a clogged field. A backup that continues after pumping can point to a damaged line, which is a job for sewer line repair.
