About this service

Above-ground tanks are typically used in areas where the soil is unsuitable for traditional burial or where the water table is too high. These systems require a pump to move waste into the tank and then out to the disposal area. They require specialized maintenance to ensure the pump and piping remain insulated and functional. Costs are influenced by the pump system type. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.

Summer often means more houseguests and increased water usage, which puts extra demand on your septic tank. With more showers and laundry loads, it is easier for a tank to reach capacity. If you have guests coming over, consider a pump-out beforehand to avoid an inconvenient backup during your family gatherings.

How often should septic tanks be emptied in Atlanta?

A licensed professional can inspect your tank and recommend the optimal pumping schedule. We can help you schedule this service.

How does a septic tank work for a homeowner in Atlanta?

A septic tank in Atlanta is a buried, watertight container that receives wastewater from your home. Solids settle to the bottom as sludge, and lighter materials like grease float to the top as scum. Bacteria in the tank begin to break down the waste. The liquid effluent then flows out to a drain field for further treatment in the soil. We can help you find a pro to explain your system.

What is the cost to install a septic tank in Atlanta?

The cost to install a septic tank in Atlanta varies based on the tank size, site excavation needs, soil type, and required permits. Licensed professionals will conduct a site assessment to provide you with a precise quote. It's a significant investment in your home's infrastructure. Call us for a free estimate.

What is a septic distribution box and what does it do in Atlanta?

In Atlanta, the septic distribution box (d-box) receives effluent from the septic tank and distributes it evenly to the drain field lines. This ensures consistent treatment of wastewater. A malfunctioning d-box can cause uneven distribution and lead to drain field issues. We can help you find a pro to inspect it.
