Sewer Line Repair, Roswell, GA

Posted on May 10, 2017 by relentless

In Roswell, GA, Action Septic Tank Service used a video camera to locate a break in a sewer line. See the attached photo.

On this job, the customer had backups in the home and surfacing effluent in the yard. To find the problem, we used a video camera to look closely inside the main sewer line. There we found a line break. To fix, we replaced 15 feet of line so that the water would properly flow.

Video cameras are used to accurately evaluate the condition of septic and sewer lines. A line with an attached camera runs through the entire pipe and transmits images in real time. Video cameras are used in various ways including locating and assessing line breaks, damaged lines, blockages, leaks and grease buildup.

Milton, GA Septic Service

Posted on April 7, 2017 by relentless

In Milton, GA, Action Septic Tank Service repaired a homeowner’s septic system. See the attached photo grid showing some of our work.

Part of this job included excavating the tanks and cleaning the septic filter. We also installed three new heavy duty lids with access ports on all three holes.

Septic lids must be properly attached and secured so that unauthorized access is prohibited. Broken or cracked lids can weaken and collapse which may cause serious accidents. Exposure to raw sewage is also very dangerous because it contains harmful bacteria which could lead to serious illness and infection.

Dunwoody, GA Septic Tank Service

Posted on March 17, 2017March 20, 2017 by relentless

In Dunwoody, GA, Action Septic Tank Service repaired this septic system. Take a look at the attached photo grid to see some of our work.

Prior to this repair, the septic system was backing up. We discovered that the drainfield was clogged with tree roots. Also, the outlet baffle was deteriorated and allowed solids to pass into the drainfield. This created an even bigger blockage.

To fix, we pumped the septic tank and replaced the outlet baffle. We removed the blocked section of drainfield line and added a new pipe. This made the system properly flow again. To help avoid excavating the septic tank for future service, we also installed a new septic lid with an access port and risers.

For more septic information and service, please call 770-922-1434 and visit Action Septic Tank Service.

Action Septic Tank Service recommends having your septic tank pumped every 2-3 years. It’s also important to treat your septic system monthly.

Septic Service, Alpharetta, GA

Posted on February 21, 2017February 22, 2017 by relentless

In Alpharetta, GA, Action Septic Tank Service repaired a blocked septic system. The attached photo on top shows the water incorrectly coming out of the clean-out. The video on the bottom shows the water properly flowing following the repair.

Prior to this repair, the tee was completely clogged with grease and detergents. This put the septic system under too much pressure and caused the water to shoot out of the clean-out. To fix, we unclogged the tee so that the water would effectively make its way through the system.

Action Septic Tank Service recommends keeping fats, oils and grease from going down your drains. Have the tee checked during your regular septic service. Install a septic filter to catch the solids and help extend the life of your drainfield. Pump your septic tank every 2-3 years and treat your system monthly.

Roswell, GA Baffle Replacement

Posted on February 7, 2017 by relentless

In Roswell, GA, Action Septic Tank Service replaced an outlet baffle and line going out to the drainfield. See the attached photo grid.

The outlet baffle prevents floating scum and sewage from exiting the septic tank and entering and clogging the drainfield. When properly installed, the outlet baffle keeps the effluent correctly moving from the clear zone to the next part of the septic tank.

Baffles must be properly installed or they can quickly deteriorate and not function properly. They should be checked at the time of your septic inspection.

Many times, an effluent screen is also added at the outlet baffle to help keep the scum and sludge from leaving the tank. Regular cleaning is necessary to ensure your effluent screen works effectively.

Septic Service, Marietta, GA

Posted on January 19, 2017January 19, 2017 by relentless

In Marietta, East Cobb, GA, Action Septic Tank Service cleared a blocked main line using a rooter machine. We used 50-feet of cable to safely and quickly clean the inside of the pipe.

Prior to the repair, the customer’s toilets were gurgling and could not be flushed. We found the main line from the house to the septic tank was intruded with tree roots, toilet paper and sanitary products. This blockage prevented the water to correctly make its way through the system and so it overflowed. Once we used the rooter machine to clear the clogged line, the system began to properly flow again.

In Roswell, GA, Action Septic Tank Service performed a crossover. A crossover is used to connect a field line to the next field line in a series of trenches. See the attached video.

Prior to this repair, water was backing up in and around the home. Inside the septic tank, the water level was high and the system was blocked. We found that only a small percentage of the drainfield was actually being utilized.

To fix, we performed a crossover and tied the wet line back into the dry line. This allowed the water to properly flow again. The system was now working at full capacity and using all of its lines.

Septic Tank Service, Alpharetta, GA

Posted on December 2, 2016December 8, 2016 by relentless

In Alpharetta, GA, Action Septic Tank Service replaced and rewired the float switch inside the pump tank. See the attached video.

Prior to this repair, the float switch alarm was sounding. We discovered that the float switch malfunctioned. It was incorrectly wired and improperly fastened with tape. Also, the faulty wiring did not have a protective waterproof sealant in place. To repair, we dug up all of the old wires and properly replaced, rewired and secured the float switch.

A float switch will sound when the water inside the tank rises to a certain level. This alert means that the septic system may be on the verge of overflowing. It is possible the sewage pump has stopped working or is jammed. There may be an issue with the power source or the alarm switch itself. The septic system could also be failing or have blockages.

Septic Service, Canton, GA

Posted on November 10, 2016 by relentless

In Canton, GA, Action Septic Tank Service cleaned this septic filter. The attached video shows the filter after being serviced.

Septic filters allow the water to pass through the septic tank into the drainfield while catching the solids. This keeps the drainfield from clogging and eventually failing.

Septic filters require little maintenance, are cost effective, and can be installed into existing septic tanks. Action Septic Tank Service recommends having your septic filter inspected and cleaned yearly.
