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.

Roswell Riser: Why You Should Locate Your Septic Tank Before Building That Patio

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

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,

Hidden Trouble in Buford –

How a Routine Inspection Prevented a Septic Disaster

In Buford, a homeowner contacted us after noticing soggy patches in their backyard despite the dry weather. Upon inspection, we discovered their drainfield was oversaturated and on the verge of failure due to a neglected septic system. Using our advanced diagnostic tools, we pinpointed the issue without invasive digging and immediately scheduled a full septic tank pumping and drainfield evaluation.

This Buford home serves as a reminder that regular septic inspections can prevent costly emergencies and protect your property’s health and value. Especially in growing suburban neighborhoods, it’s critical to monitor your septic system if you’re planning new landscaping, pool installations, or home expansions.

Septic Service and Line Replacement, Roswell, GA

Posted on November 25, 2024November 25, 2024 by relentless

In Roswell, we found a break in the mainline. This caused a septic system backup. We replaced the broken line with PVC. This allowed the system to properly flow.

The mainline is the main pipe that carries all the water from the house to the septic tank. Signs of a problematic mainline may include sewage backups, gurgling pipes, slow drains, and pooling water in the yard.

To keep the system running smoothly, we suggest having the septic tank pumped every 2-3 years. The system should also be inspected at the time of service.
