We Know Commerce Septic Systems

Commerce has older homes near downtown and new homes going up all around town. Older homes may have tanks that nobody has checked in years. Newer homes may have systems that were never set up right for the lot. Our red clay soil can also make drain fields work harder.

We see all of it. That local know-how helps us find the problem faster and give you advice that fits your home.

Signs You Need Septic Repair

Sewage smell in the house or yard

Do you only serve Commerce?

No. We also serve Jefferson, Athens, Maysville, Banks County, Winder and all of Jackson County.

How do I know if I need pumping or a repair?

Tell us what you are seeing when you call. If it is time for pumping, we pump and check the tank. If something is broken, we find it and explain your choices.

Do you offer financing?

Yes. See our financing page for details.

How often should Commerce homes pump?

Many homes need it every 3 to 5 years. It depends on tank size and how many people live in the house.

Can you check a septic system before I buy a home?

Yes. Call us and we will set it up.

How do I know if my home is on septic or sewer?

Look at your water bill. If you do not pay a sewer fee, you are likely on septic. Many homes inside the city limits are on sewer, while most homes outside of town use septic. If you are not sure, call us and we can help you find out.

How long does pumping take?

Most pumping jobs take about an hour once we find the tank. It can take longer if the tank is buried deep or hard to find.

Will you dig up my yard?

Only as much as we need to. Many tanks have lids that are just under the grass. We put the dirt back when we are done.

Do you work on weekends? Yes. We offer same-day and weekend service. Our emergency line is answered 24/7, including weekends. Call us and we will talk about the best time to come out.

What Happens When You Call Us

When you call 770-472-7587, you talk to a real person here in Commerce. We ask a few simple questions. What are you seeing? When did it start? When was the tank last pumped? Then we set a time to come out. If it is an emergency, we tell you what to do right now to keep things from getting worse.

When we get there, we find the tank, open it and look at what is going on. We check the lines and the drain field if needed. Then we explain what we found in plain words. You get your choices before any big work starts, so there are no surprises.

Septic Care Through the Seasons

Spring and fall rains can soak the red clay around Commerce, and a soggy drain field may struggle for a few days. Summer brings cookouts and house guests, which means more water going down the drains. Winter holidays are the same. If your tank is close to due for pumping, it is smart to get it done before a busy season, not after.

Areas We Cover Around Commerce

Some septic companies that work in Commerce drive in from other towns. Our shop is on S Elm St in Commerce. That means we are close to downtown, Banks Crossing, the I-85 exits and the homes out along US 441 and Hwy 98. When your tank backs up, a short drive matters.

Being local also means we know the ground. We have dug in the red clay around Commerce for years. We know which roads have older homes on small lots and which areas have new builds with new systems. We bring that know-how to every job, from septic tank pumping to a late night emergency.
