Septic system design and installation

If only one drain is slow, it is usually the pipe. If the whole house drains slowly and the yard smells, the tank or drain field may be the problem. A camera inspection settles it.

Yes. In Georgia, new and replacement septic systems are permitted through the county environmental health office. We help you through the process.

You can, but it adds solids to the tank, which may mean pumping more often. Using it lightly helps.

Cost depends on the system type, the soil, the size of the house, the lot and the permit requirements. The county environmental health review shapes the design, and we give you a clear price once the plan is set.

New and replacement septic systems in Georgia are permitted through the county environmental health office, which reviews the site and the soil. We help you through that process before installation begins.

Many households need pumping every 3 to 5 years, depending on tank size, the number of people in the home and water use. Heavy garbage disposal use can shorten that interval.

Soggy ground or lush grass over the drain field, sewage odors in the yard, slow drains throughout the house and backups in the lowest drains are common signs.

Wipes, paper towels, feminine products, grease, harsh chemicals, paint, medications and large amounts of food waste. They clog lines, fill the tank faster or kill the bacteria the system depends on.

Yes. We repair and replace the line from the house to the tank, clear clogs in it and inspect it with a camera.

A well-kept system can last for decades. Tank material, soil conditions and how the system is used all affect its life. Regular pumping and keeping solids and grease out are the best ways to extend it.

Yes. A saturated drain field cannot absorb water well, so drains may slow down or back up after heavy rain. Cut back on water use until the ground dries, and call us if backups continue.

No. Vehicles and heavy equipment can crush pipes and compact the soil in the drain field. Keep traffic, structures and new paving off the tank and the field.

Yes. Roots seek out moisture and can invade septic lines and drain fields. Keep trees and large shrubs away from the system.

After the site and soil are reviewed and the permit is issued, the tank and drain field are installed to the approved plan, connected to the house and inspected as required.

Many do. Plenty of homes around Lake Oconee and in rural Putnam County rely on septic, especially outside town sewer service.

Gurgling can mean a partly blocked line, a full tank or a venting problem. If several fixtures gurgle and drain slowly, have the line and tank checked before it backs up.

Most systems do not need additives when they are used normally. Regular pumping and keeping harmful materials out are more effective, and some additives can push solids into the drain field.

The county environmental health office may have a permit drawing. You can also follow the main sewer line from where it leaves the house, and a camera with a locator can trace the line to the tank.

Often, yes, but slope, soil and setbacks from the water shape the design. The county environmental health review decides what is allowed, and the system is installed to that approved plan.
