How Septic Works, in Plain Words

 

Everything that goes down your drains flows into the septic tank. Solids settle and grease floats. The water left in the middle drains out to the field lines in your yard. Pumping removes the buildup so it does not reach and clog the drain field.

 

Grease and Business Septic Systems

 

Shops and restaurants can send a lot of grease and food scraps down the drain. Grease cools and hardens in the tank and the lines. Over time it can block pipes and clog the drain field. If your business is on septic, keep grease out of the drains and set up a regular pumping plan.

 

Before You Pick Up the Phone

 

• Check every drain to see which ones are slow

• Look for wet ground or bad smells outside

• Know your last pumping date if you can

• Try not to use much water until we come

 

How We Help, Start to Finish

 

Call 770-472-7587 and talk to a real person right away. We ask simple questions first, like what the problem looks like and when the tank was last pumped. Then we lock in a time to visit you in Pendergrass. For businesses, we work to find a time that keeps your doors open.

 

Our team finds the tank, checks it out and looks at the drain field and lines if there is a sign of trouble. We explain everything in everyday words, and nothing big happens until you say so.

 

Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter Care

 

Busy seasons mean more water. For homes, that is summer and the holidays. For businesses, it may be a busy shopping weekend or a big event nearby. Planning your pumping before those busy times can help you avoid a backup at the worst possible time.

Septic for Home Businesses

 

Many people around Pendergrass run a business from home, like a daycare, a hair salon or a small shop. These businesses can add a lot of water and waste to a septic system made for a family home. If you run a business from home, your tank may need pumping more often. Talk with us so we can help you set a plan that fits.

 

Watch for These Problems

 

• Many drains backing up at once

• Strange sounds in the pipes

• Sewer odors in the house or yard

• Spots that never dry out

• A backup in a tub, toilet or floor drain

 

If you see any of these, call us at 770-472-7587. Catching a problem early is much easier than fixing a backup.

 

Drain Field Trouble in Pendergrass

 

If your home here is on septic, the drain field is the part that does the hardest work. It is also the part people forget about until something goes wrong.

 

What the Drain Field Does

 

Water leaves your tank and flows into pipes buried in the yard. The soil soaks it up and cleans it. When the soil cannot soak up any more, water has nowhere to go.

 

Signs Your Drain Field Is in Trouble

 

• Wet or soggy ground, even when it has not rained

• A strip of grass that is greener than the rest

• Sewage smell in the yard

• Drains slow down after heavy rain

• Water backing up into the tub or shower

 

What We Can Do

 

• Pump the tank to take pressure off the field

• Check the field and find the problem

• Repair broken pipes or damaged parts

• Put in new drain fields and full new systems when they are needed. We also do grading work.

 

Drain Field Questions

 

Can a drain field be saved? Sometimes. It depends on what went wrong. We will check it and tell you honestly.

 

Why does my yard get soggy after rain? Red clay soaks up water slowly. When the ground is already full, the field has a hard time. Keeping gutters and runoff away from the field helps.

 

Same-Day Visits and Weekend Calls

 

We often come the same day you call, even on a weekend. Install labor is under warranty for one year, and the manufacturer warranties the parts.
