These are the questions Alabama and Georgia homeowners ask us most:
what we handle, what moves the price, how permits work, and how to
get started. Don't see yours? Call and ask.
We are based in Piedmont and work Northeast Alabama first: Jacksonville, Anniston, Oxford, Gadsden, Southside, Attalla, Talladega, and Fort Payne. Across the state line we cover Northwest Georgia, including Rome, Cedartown, Rockmart, and Summerville. If you are not sure we reach your road, call (256) 453-9003 and ask.
What services do you offer?
Septic, start to finish. We install new septic systems and replace failed ones, from conventional gravity systems to engineered systems and commercial jobs. We repair tanks, rebuild drain fields, put in curtain drains where groundwater is the problem, run inspections, coordinate perc tests, and handle routine pumping and maintenance.
Who will actually show up at my house?
A crew that installs septic systems every week, run by Jim Westbrook. Jim has put in septic systems his whole working life and holds an Alabama Level II installer license, the advanced level that covers engineered and commercial systems. Three crews and our own equipment keep jobs moving.
How much will my job cost?
Every job gets priced from the site, free. Tank size, soil, depth to rock, and access set the number, so a phone quote would be a guess. We come look, then hand you the price for the whole job. Call (256) 453-9003 and we will set a time.
Do you handle the septic permit?
Yes. In Alabama, septic permits run through your county health department under the state health department's onsite sewage rules. In Georgia, the county environmental health office issues them. We handle the paperwork on both sides of the line and never cover a system before it passes inspection.
Do you install engineered septic systems?
Yes. When a lot fails its perc test or sits on shallow rock, the health department calls for an engineered system instead of a conventional field. Jim's Level II license covers that work, including pump systems and large commercial systems. It is a big part of what we do.
How often should my septic tank be pumped?
Most homes need a pump out every 3 to 5 years. Household size, tank size, and a garbage disposal all move that date. If you cannot remember the last time your tank was pumped, that is usually the answer. Tell us the situation and we will help you set the next one.
Can you look at a septic system before I buy a house?
Yes. A septic inspection is not part of a standard home inspection, so it is on the buyer to ask. We open the tank, measure the layers, check the baffles, and look over the drain field. You get written findings before you close, not a surprise after.
