Septic tank repair brings a sense of urgency. When a septic system needs to be fixed, you will not be able to shower, use the toilet, kitchen sink to prepare dinner, or even wash clothes. Your functional septic system is vital to everyday use. Repair, fix, mend, patchup, restore, put back together, get working again are all terms that activate our company to help you. Repairing a septic tank service must be performed by state certified lead technician and pump truck operator. Here is a complete and full list of contributors to septic system malfunction: failed pump, water level above outlet, filter condition, broken pipe, inlet and outlet levels (backwards tank or not level), outlet fll from tank, float or timer is not working properly, system sewers are blocked, D-Box or lines out of level, peak or surge sewage flows, surface water entering system, excess water use, subsurface water entering system, short circuiting between trenches, elevation of stepdown above tank outlet, damage to stepdown, biomat is over grown, undersized drainfield for inteded use, tree roots in drain field, heavy machinery driving over drainfield or septic tank.
Other repair problems can originate from faulty information during the original install, such as, relying solely on published soils information from the local county soil survey rather than performing actual field tests at the site, poor soil profile description made by nonqualified personnel who fail to detect seasonal high water tables and who fail to locate and properly describe restrictive features, e.g., slowly permeable layers and fractured rock, and much more.
Pump septic tanks at least every three years. This tank pumping service removes solids and keeps them from entering your field lines.
Locate the septic tank and septic tank lid before hiring the pumping company; they charge for this service. Ask for the cost of extra water to pump my septic tank before the pumper starts pumping your tank.

Maintenance
To prevent this from happening, it is necessary to have the septic tanks desludged (pumped out) regularly. Desludging requires that a licensed liquid waste contractor be engaged to open the septic tanks and pump out the contents. The desirable frequency of desludging is dependent on the number of people contributing to the wastewater load. As a guide, every five to seven years for a two-person household, every three to five years for a four-person household and more often for households with greater numbers. This is our recommendation. For a dual septic tank system, we can install alternating drainage fields that can be switched annually. This requires that the diverter box be opened and the effluent flow handle turned to the appropriate position. Once the pumping operation is completed, excavated soil shall be replaced and the ground surface returned to its original contour. Care should be taken at all times when there is open access to septic tank contents. Bacteria in septage can spread disease to people through the fecal oral route and can also contaminate water supplies if spillage near wells or springs occurs.

Installation
Septic Tank Installation has precise engineering with the following list of critical components: septic tank, manholes for easy (and quick) cleanouts, optional distribution boxes, drain fields, vent pipes, non-perforated pipe, vent pipes or piping, gravel or crushed stone. This illustration (R) is just one design that successfully functioned for many years.
The septic tank (chamber) is the first component of an on-site sewage management system. Where garbage grinders are used, the septic tank capacity shall be increased by fifty percent. The primary purpose of the septic tank is to provide a means of settling out of solid matter from the liquid. By design the outlet of a septic tank should be two inches lower than the inlet.
Because of many factors, including its pristine environment, the State of Georgia has one of the highest growth rates. Each year more than 40,000 new on-site sewage systems are installed in Georgia.

Septic Tank Installation requires precision. Our technicians must place or fix in position ready for use the install your new septic tank system. Commercial septic tank installs are quite different from residential intalls. Dosing Tanks and Devices, highly specific placement, and grease traps must be part of the installation plan. For residential, there is an application proccess, planning the layout wich includes the setback requiremnts, absorption fields strategy, deciding about the configuration of aggregate system (level field system, serial field system, distribution box method), chamber system, and any special condition. The purpose is to adhere to rules and regulations for the installation of on-site sewage management systems. All of our technicians are certified by Georgia Department of Public Health and it is unlawful to install or repair an on site sewage management system without certification. On-site sewage management can take many forms. In whatever form, sewage is applied to the soil below the ground surface. The soil serves to clean wastewater by filtering out particulates, that is, solid material, plus removing bacteria and viruses. A properly designed and installed system will adequately treat and dispose of wastewater, and will ensure the protection of our drinking water resources for future generations. The following diagram is for residential intalls.
Cleaning
Cleaning out a septic tank reveals varying, yet interesting, advice from many sources. However, Georgia Department of Public Health has the last word; it is the governing body. What's more, According to How Stuff Works.com, About one-third of Americans have a septic system treating the waste in their homes [source: American Ground Water Trust]. By design, these systems are fairly simple. All drains in the home converge to a single pipe that leads to the septic tank buried outside. When the waste water from your toilet, shower, sinks and washing machine leave your house, it's combined. Property owner shall be responsible for properly operating and maintaining the on-site sewage management system to increase its life expectancy and prevent failure. No strong bases, acids, or organic solvents shall be used in the operation of an onsite sewage management system.
