Frequently Asked Questions
Septic Questions
How often should I have my septic tank pumped?
For most residential properties in Floyd County, Georgia, we recommend having your septic tank pumped every 3 to 5 years. This frequency can vary depending on your household size and water usage. Regular septic pumping is the best way to prevent backups and costly repairs down the road.
What are the signs of a failing septic system?
Common signs of a failing septic system include slow drains or gurgling sounds, standing water or lush green grass near your septic drain field, and foul odors inside or outside your home. If you notice any of these issues, it's best to call us right away for an inspection.

What is the difference between a septic tank and a drain field?
The septic tank is a buried, watertight container that holds wastewater from your home. It allows solids to settle at the bottom and scum to float to the top. The drain field (also known as a leach field) is a series of trenches where the liquid wastewater, or effluent, is distributed and absorbed into the soil for final treatment. Both parts are essential for a properly functioning septic system.

How many portable toilets do I need for my event?

What is a grease trap and why is it important to clean?
A grease trap is a plumbing device designed to intercept fats, oils, and greases (FOGs) before they enter a wastewater disposal system. For restaurants and commercial kitchens, regular grease trap cleaning is crucial to prevent blockages, foul odors, and to stay compliant with local regulations.
