Septic Services in Statham
New Homes Need Care Too
A new home does not mean a carefree septic system. Every tank fills up over time. Building work nearby can also pack the soil or change how water flows across your yard. If your yard stays wet or your drains slow down, have it checked.
Signs You Should Call
Slow drains or gurgling pipes
Sewage smell in the house or yard
Soggy ground or extra green grass over the drain field
Water backing up into tubs or toilets

How Your Septic System Works
Water from your home flows to the septic tank. Solids sink, grease floats, and the cleaner water flows out to the drain field to soak into the soil. When the tank is pumped on schedule, the drain field stays clear. Skipping pumping can lead to a clogged field and a much bigger repair.
Busy Families and Septic
Many Statham families commute along Highway 316 and are busy every day. It is easy to forget about the septic system until something goes wrong. A simple habit helps: write down the date of each pumping and set a reminder for 3 to 5 years later.

What Happens When You Call
When you call 770-472-7587, a real person answers. We ask what you are seeing, when it started and when the tank was last pumped. Then we set a time to come out to Statham. If it is an emergency, we tell you what to do right away so things do not get worse.
At your home, we find the tank, check it and look at the lines and drain field if needed. We explain what we found in plain words and give you your choices before any big work starts.
Septic Care Through the Seasons
Spring and fall rains can soak the soil and slow a drain field. Summer brings pool days and guests. Winter holidays bring full houses. These all add water to the system. If your tank is close to due for pumping, plan ahead so you are not dealing with a backup during a busy week.

Will a new home septic system last forever without care? No system lasts forever without care. Regular pumping keeps it working for many years.
My yard is wet near the street. Is it the septic? It could be rain runoff, a water line leak or the septic system. We can help figure out the cause.
Can I put a hot tub near my drain field? Keep it away from the drain field, and do not drain a hot tub into your septic system without asking us first.
How do I know my system is working right? Drains flow well, there are no smells and the yard over the field is dry. Pumping on schedule keeps it that way.
