SEPTIC TANK SERVICE ATLANTA

If you live in a rural area, chances are your property collects wastewater by way of a septic tank system. These systems, which collect and filter wastewater and then drain this water into a septic field, can be costly to fix or replace if not cared for properly. Fortunately, there are some steps you can take to ensure your septic system lasts as long as it possibly can before a replacement is necessary.

Septic Field Inspection: Drain fields have an average life span of about 50 years, but can fail much sooner if for instance, plumbing is installed incorrectly. If you or your neighbors smell something suspicious near the septic field, it’s a good idea to have it inspected by a septic system professional.

Septic Tank Pumping: The septic tank itself will eventually fill with wastewater and need pumping. Septic cleaning is recommended on a regular schedule that depends upon the size of your tank and the number of occupants in your home or business. This range can be anywhere from every couple months to once every 10 years. Regular septic tank pumping can help you catch problems early on before they lead to a costly replacement.

Septic System Installation: If by chance your septic system is beyond repair, we will recommend an installation of a new system. You can choose a conventional septic system or a drip emitter system such as Perc-Rite. Installing a drip system is especially useful if your drain field fails quite often due to substandard soil. Conventional septic tanks can last anywhere from 20 to 40 years or more.
