Septic and Drainfield Repair, Alpharetta, GA

Posted on February 22, 2015 by relentless

In Alpharetta, GA, Action Septic Tank Service replaced the distribution box on the left with a new model on the right. The new distribution box was designed to allow the effluent to evenly flow into the drainfield.

The septic distribution box, located between the septic tank and the drainfield, uniformly delivers the effluent to a series of trenches in the soil. If the effluent is not evenly distributed, the drainfield can become overloaded, which will eventually cause the septic system to fail. You would then see untreated wastewater ponding on the ground.

When a distribution box is installed, it must be level. After time, weather can make the distribution box tilt. If the box is no longer even, the effluent is unable to properly flow into the drainfield. Some of the distribution pipes may become overloaded while others receive very little to no effluent.

Action Septic Tank Service recommends having your septic distribution box inspected yearly. It is important to check that the box itself is level and that all distribution pipes are receiving the same amount of effluent.

Milton, GA Septic Project: Installing Septic Risers and Lids

Posted on February 10, 2015February 10, 2015 by relentless

In Milton, GA, Action Septic Tank Service installed four PVC septic risers and lids on two septic tanks. See the photos showing some of our work.

Septic risers make locating, accessing, monitoring, and maintaining your septic tank much easier. They attach to the top of the septic tank over the inlet and outlet openings and come up to ground level.

Action Septic Tank Service strongly recommends adding septic risers and lids to your septic tank. They make it easy to inspect and maintain your septic system. You won’t need to search for the septic tank or have it located. Septic risers and lids also eliminate the need to dig up the yard for septic inspections and pumping. This encourages regular septic maintenance and service, which protects your septic system and helps to give you years of optimal performance.

Action Septic Tank Service uses PVC septic risers with light, fiberglass lids for installations. They are cost effective, won’t deteriorate and rot over time, and are easier to install. The green covers also blend in with your landscaping.

Dunwoody, GA Septic and Drainfield Repair

Posted on January 27, 2015 by relentless

In Dunwoody, GA, Action Septic Tank Service repaired this failing drainfield. Surfacing effluent, or pretreated wastewater, is the most obvious sign of drainfield failure.

A drainfield, or soil absorption system, is usually a series of pipes and gravel or chambers buried underground that channel the effluent from the septic tank to the soil. The effluent is naturally filtered through the soil. The drainfield absorbs the organic materials, reduces or removes bacteria and viruses, and removes some nutrients. If the soil can no longer accept the effluent, the drainfield will fail. Often times, this is caused by biomat, a thick, slimy layer that restricts the flow of effluent to the soil.

Septic and drainfield failures are often caused by poor maintenance, root blockages, too much organic matter in the effluent, soil that is overly saturated from storm water, excessive water use, vehicles driving over the septic system, cracking pipes, and improper septic design, location and installation. This can pollute nearby water resources and endanger public health.

Be aware of the signs of septic failure and take action. Look for surfacing effluent, slow flushing toilets, sewage backups in your toilets, sinks, tubs and washing machine, gurgling sounds when running water or flushing toilets, soggy areas of your lawn or soil, grass that is a deeper green color than in other areas of your lawn, depressions in the soil, and unpleasant odors in or around your house.

Action Septic Tank Service always recommends properly monitoring and maintaining your septic system. Have your septic system inspected annually and service your septic tank every two years. Obtain a drawing of your septic system, which should include a site survey or picture of the original design. Keep detailed records of your septic service. Contact a septic professional for help.

Alpharetta, GA Septic Repair: Tree Root Intrusion

Posted on January 22, 2015June 6, 2016 by relentless

In Alpharetta, GA, Action Septic Tank Service repaired this septic line that was completely blocked by tree roots. Take a look at the before-and-after photos.

Roots from trees and shrubs seek moisture found inside your pipes. They enter through cracks and joints in pipes and spread. This causes sewage backups into the home and blockages inside the septic tank. These blockages can eventually destroy an entire septic (or sewer) system.

Some ways to prevent tree root intrusion include:

1. Avoid planting fast-growing trees in your yard.

2. Keep trees from being planted near your septic system.

3. Have your septic system inspected annually and your septic tank pumped every 2-3 years.

4. Check your pipes. Older septic and sewer pipes made of concrete or clay are most likely to attract tree roots.

5. Be aware of the signs of leaking pipes, such as patches of greener grass, damp ground and odors.

Milton, GA On-Site Septic Installation

Posted on January 15, 2015 by relentless

In Milton, GA, Action Septic Tank Service installed a new residential septic system. Take a look at the photo grid to see some of our work.

Choosing the most effective septic design and installation plan is always recommended to ensure your septic system gives you years of optimal performance. Action Septic Tank Service suggests some of the following tips.

When installing a septic system on land that is undeveloped, you must first have the soil checked. If the soil is suitable for a septic system, you should be able to obtain a septic permit for installation.

Next, it’s necessary to think about how your septic system will be used. Will it be used on a daily basis or only on weekends or holidays? How much water is being used on the site? If water use is heavier, consider having a larger drainfield.

When installing a septic system, the design is very important. Systems that are improperly installed are unsafe and unsanitary. There are very specific regulations and guidelines that should be followed when planning the layout.

When correctly installed and maintained, septic systems can work very well and last for a long time. Action Septic Tank Service recommends having your septic system inspected annually and servicing your septic tank every two years.

Hydro-jetting is used to clean residential, commercial, and industrial septic lines, sewer lines, and drains. Extreme water pressure is used to clear out fats, oils and grease (FOG), sand, roots, and sediment that builds up. Hydro-jetting will effectively scour your pipes.

Hydro-jetting offers a cost effective and environmentally friendly way to minimize the number of septic, sewer, and drain blockages and back-ups. This will help to keep your septic lines, sewer lines, and drains clear and properly maintained.

Action Septic Tank Service highly recommends scheduling regular hydro-jetting services. For more information and service, please call 770-922-1434.

Effluent Filters and Septic Systems

Posted on December 19, 2014June 6, 2016 by relentless

Action Septic Tank Service wants to share with you reasons why having a clogged effluent filter is actually a good thing. Effluent filters prevent solids in the septic tank from exiting into the drainfield. Homeowners should know that it is much easier to service an effluent filter than to restore or replace a whole soil absorption system.

Drainfields basically fail due to solid material passing through the outlet of the septic tank. This clogs the soil and prevents the water from filtering down. Effluent filters allow the water to pass through the septic tank into the soil absorption area while catching the solids. This keeps the drainfield from clogging and eventually failing.

Effluent filters require little maintenance, are cost effective, and can be installed into existing septic tanks. For more information and service, call Action Septic Tank Service at 770-922-1434.

Meet Matt Banta, your Veteran-Septic Cleaning Professional in Atlanta

Posted on December 19, 2014January 3, 2015 by relentless

MATT has been serving all of theMetro Atlanta area, installing, pumping, repairing and cleaning septic tanks since 1995 and is a licensed septic tank contractor certified by the State of Georgia. When residents of Atlanta Georgia need an honest and reliable Septic Service they call Action Septic Tank Service more than any other Septic Service provider. Matt has installed hundreds of new septic systems, performed many many residential septic service repairs, and finished as many commercial septic service jobs inthe Atlanta Metro area.

If your Georgia home or business uses a septic tank, having a decent understanding of the function of the system is paramount in keeping it in good working order. Many people are not very aware of the process required to make it run correctly and they wait until the last moment to service their septic system and suddenly they end up with toilets that start backing up onto the floor.

The problem we face today is that we are so busy that we often have no time for regular home maintenance, or we simply forget to do it. There are at least two important factors that keep s septic tank system running correctly. Its important that the bacterial action in the tank be sufficient to break solid matter down on a daily basis. Secondly, since there will gradually be a build-up of sludge in the bottom of the tank it is important not to let this build up to the point that the system fails. When a tank becomes overly filled with sludge or the bacterial action is no longer able to keep up with the requirement to break down solid matter, the sludge and solid matter will start draining into the drainage system of the tank.

This can potentially ruin your drain field – which can be expensive. It will at least plug the pipes leading to the drain field and your drains will start to back up into the house when you flush the toilet, or use your shower or bathtub. There is no place for the waste water to go, so it backs up into the toilet or shower and bath drains. CallingAction Septic Tank Serviceis the solution you’re looking for. We suggest you do this as a preventive measure, but if you find yourself in an emergency situation we’re there for you! Septic cleaning will give your tank a rest. Waste water and solid matter will gradually fill the tank again, and the bacterial action will have a fresh start and will function properly. Unless your drain field has been damaged, or the drain pipes leading to the drainage field have been plugged, your tank should operate correctly once again.

Roswell, GA On-Site Septic Baffle Installation

Posted on December 10, 2014 by relentless

action septic septic tank cleaning atlanta

In Roswell, GA, Action Septic Tank Service installed an inlet baffle inside a homeowner’s septic tank. Having no inlet baffle in the existing tank caused a problematic septic backup.

A septic tank has an inlet baffle and an outlet baffle. The inlet baffle directs flow from the house sewer down into the septic tank to create a longer detention time for the sewage to allow the settling of solids. It also keeps the scum level from plugging the inlet pipe.

There are two types of baffles: wall baffles and sanitary tees. Action Septic Tank Service strongly recommends using sanitary tees, made of PVC piping. They are less likely to have plugging problems and will not deteriorate.

Baffles must be properly connected. They should be attached so they remain in place over the lifetime of the tank and should be accessible for septic inspections, repairs and replacement.
