Septic and Drainfield Repair, Milton, GA

Posted on August 7, 2025August 7, 2025 by relentless

In Milton, we replaced the mainline from the building to the septic tank. The original line was made of concrete and had holes and roots inside. We also found a concrete Y inside the mainline. We used a video camera to check the second line. Since it was inactive, we disconnected this line from the mainline.

We replaced the original, concrete mainline with a PVC pipe. This new line went straight into the septic tank. We also installed a new PVC inlet baffle.

The #1 Reason Your Septic Tank Is Overflowing (And How to Stop It)

Posted on July 22, 2025July 22, 2025 by relentless

Let’s get real.
If your septic tank’s on the fritz, it’s probably not age or tree roots—it’s overuse and neglect. Too many long showers, constant guest loads, and skipping the pumping schedule can all lead to a nasty backup (and costly damage).
At Action Septic Tank Service, we see this every day. From minor overflow to full-on yard floods. The kicker? It’s usually preventable.
� Pro Tip: If it’s been more than 3 years since your last septic pumping, schedule service now, before the backup hits.

Septic Service with Pool Decks, Alpharetta, GA

Posted on July 22, 2025July 22, 2025 by relentless

In Alpharetta, we found a septic tank lid located underneath part of the pool deck. We needed to excavate to access the tank.

There was no outlet baffle inside the pump tank and the tank had been incorrectly pumped for years. We replaced the outlet lid with a new lid and riser and added an outlet baffle. A new pump was also installed with a riser over the pump tank. Rocks were placed overtop the risers to go well with the landscaping.

With septic tanks, careful landscaping is recommended. It is important to know the

location of your septic tank. We also suggest keeping a septic drawing on file.

Septic Repair in Canton, GA: Fixing a Failed Line with Proper Priming, Slope Correction & Cleanout Installation

Posted on June 12, 2025June 12, 2025 by relentless

Septic line repair in Canton GA with new pipe installation and cleanout by Action Septic Tank Service

In Canton, a stable was backing up due to septic work that was improperly done some time ago. The fittings were not primed or glued. The pipe had majorly settled and was running uphill before making its way into the septic tank. When we removed the old pipe, the fittings came apart.

We added a new line and primed all of our fittings and used different connections to make it smoother going into the tank. We also installed a two-way cleanout with a pop-off cap. We were able to use gravel underneath the pipe to avoid having it settle again. Concrete was added to secure the mainline going into the tank.

7 Signs Your Septic Tank Is About to Cause Big Trouble

Posted on May 19, 2025May 19, 2025 by relentless

When your septic system’s working right, you don’t even notice it. But when it’s failing? That mess is hard to ignore. From foul smells to backyard bogs, here are 7 warning signs your septic tank might be on the verge of disaster.

1. Slow Drains All Over the House

If everything from your sinks to your tub is draining slower than usual, your septic tank could be overloaded or clogged.

2. Bad Smells Around the Yard

The stench of sewage is a dead giveaway. If your backyard smells like something died under it… it might be your septic system leaking underground.

3. Standing Water

If your lawn is wet but it hasn’t rained? You might be looking at septic overflow. That’s a health risk waiting to happen.

4. Sewage Backup

Wastewater coming up through your toilets or drains is one of the most dangerous signs. Don’t wait—get emergency help immediately.

5. Bright Green Grass in One Spot

If one patch of your yard is poppin’ like the Garden of Eden, it could be feeding off your leaking septic system.

6. Gurgling in Your Pipes

Strange sounds coming from the toilet or drain? That’s the system struggling. Gurgles are cries for help.

7. It’s Been 3+ Years Since You Pumped

If you don’t remember the last time you had your tank pumped, it’s time. Regular service prevents breakdowns and $$$ repairs.

Suwanee Septic Surprise –

Posted on April 30, 2025April 30, 2025 by relentless

Why Every Home Addition Needs a Septic Review

During a recent project in Suwanee, we were called in after a contractor accidentally hit a septic line while digging footers for a backyard addition. The homeowner was unaware the line extended beneath the proposed structure. Fortunately, we were able to repair the line and install a reroute that allowed the construction to move forward safely.

This situation reinforces the importance of septic mapping before starting any construction. Whether you’re adding a shed, home office, or a new patio, always consult with a septic professional to locate tanks and lines first. It could save thousands in repairs and project delays.

In Roswell, we located the septic tank underneath the patio. To access the tank, we needed to dig up part of the patio. We installed a riser to make future tank pumping easier and to avoid having to disrupt the patio.

It is so important to know the location of your septic tank before adding hardscapes like decks, patios, courts, and walkways. We also suggest keeping a septic drawing on file to help with careful planning,
