Frequently Asked Questions
Q I am not sure where my septic tank is. Can you find it?
A
Our certified technicians are very skilled at finding underground septic tanks. They look at the layout of your property, and then using a probe rod, probe the yard until they find your tank.
Q What if your tech can’t find my tank by probing?
A
If our technician cannot find the tank, then we request a plat map from the county. Often this document can lead us to the tank. Also, we can find the tank electronically by use of a sonde and locator.
Q Do you have to dig up my tank again? My grass is so pretty.
A
Unfortunately, we do need to find the tank and remove the lid. We will not pump your tank through a port hole. The State does not allow that. BUT, ask us about installing a riser, so your tank will never have to be dug up again!
Q Can I flush wipes down the toilet? They say “flushable” on the label.
A
NO! "Flushable" wipes are one of the leading cause of septic issues. They do not breakdown like regular toilet paper.
Q I just had my tank pumped recently and it is already full. What is going on?
A
Septic tanks are designed to always operate at normal capacity. The water industry estimates that a family of four uses about 400 gallons of water a day. It should not surprise you if your tank was pumped on Monday and it is full again by Wednesday.
Q How do I know if I am having septic issues?
A
Common signs of septic problems are sewage puddling in the yard, gurgling or slow to flush toilets, sewage smell in the yard, and water coming back up in a tub or shower drain.
Maintenance Saves Money in the Long Run
By performing regular septic systems maintenance and pumping your tank, you can aid in the prevention of costly repairs or replacements of your system. Poor maintenance is one of the largest contributors to failing septic systems. It is recommended by the state of Georgia to have your septic system pumped every three to five years. Having a septic system that is in need of repairs could lower your property value and also pose a legal liability.
Protect the Environment
Maintaining a septic system helps prevent the spread of infectious diseases and maintains the integrity of water resources. There are many viruses and disease-causing bacteria found within septic systems and a well-maintained system can effectively remove these pollutants. If sewage from a septic system is not maintained it can potentially cause a ground water contamination which is hazardous to human health. It is essential to remain a responsible septic tank owner by performing regular maintenance.
