Milton, Georgia
Milton Septic Pros offers septic tank maintenance including pumping, inspections and repairs.
Since your septic system remains out-of-sight, you may forget about it until one of these symptoms show-up: low draining sink drains, a gurgle sound while flushing the toilet or a soggy spot next to the drain field. At this point, your septic tank needs some TLC. We help guide Milton homeowners through the entire pumping process; completely transparent pricing & never any surprises.
Typically, most tanks in the Milton area require to be pumped every 3 to 5 years. If you go too long without pumping, solid waste will enter the drain field causing smaller problems to quickly become larger repair costs. Pumping typically takes about an hour to 2 hours and is considerably cheaper than repairing a clogged absorption field.
When your septic technician arrives at your home in Milton he will open the tank lid and explain exactly what is inside prior to beginning any work. There will be no high-pressure sales pitches and no padding on your invoice. Only professional septic tank services performed by a team that resides in Milton.
Whether it’s an emergency or just routine maintenance, our team will help take care of your entire septic system, eliminating the need to search through multiple company phone numbers.

Learn More →If your home in Milton uses a septic system to treat its waste (instead of being hooked up to municipal sewer), then every bit of water that comes from showers, dishwashers, washing machines, toilets, or sinks flows into a single pipe into the tank.
Gravity is used within this process to sort materials. The heavier material settles at the bottom as a "sludge" and the lighter items (grease, soap suds) float above the center portion of the tank; referred to as "effluent," it is released from the tank and moves slowly into the drainfield via the perforations along the sides of the drainpipe.
While beneficial bacteria will help to break down some of what enters the tank, they cannot eliminate everything. The buildup of both sludge and scum continues until such time that these layers become large enough to impede flow through the outlet pipe. As soon as solids begin leaving the tank and enter the drain field, they quickly clog the soil causing costly repairs. Regularly scheduled pumping of the contents of the tank allows removal of materials that the bacteria could not digest; therefore routine pumping of a septic system is similar to getting an oil change for, but for your home.
Most residential homes in Milton should start with a 3-5 year cycle. However, there are several factors that can cause this time frame to increase or decrease:

Never had a septic tank pumped before? Here's a step-by-step guide of what will happen during the process from start to finish, once our truck arrives at your Milton home.
First, we verify the location of the tank. Then we open the lid. If the lid has been buried, we'll simply need to dig down to access it. Additionally, this would be an excellent time to install a riser for future pump-outs which can save you money on labor costs and shorten the length of each service call.
Our wide diameter hose attached to our vacuum truck will suck all of the waste inside the tank into the truck. As we are sucking the waste into the truck we agitate (stir) it so that both the liquids and solid wastes from the bottom come out of the tank together. Leaving some of those solid materials inside the tank will cause them to clog the pipes leading away from the tank. Also while the lid is removed we inspect the interior of the tank including the walls and baffle system.
Once we have finished pumping the tank, we provide you with a report detailing what we found and any issues or concerns we may have. You receive a detailed report. Any additional service recommendations are only suggestions; No obligations. Take a few minutes to read them and then contact us later if you would like further assistance.
Pumping your system regularly is the best thing you can do for it. While there are some little habits to develop between pumpings that will keep everything working longer.
wipes, paper towels, cotton swab sticks, etc. will not break down in the septic tank. They will eventually clog the outlet and require a premature pumping of the tank.
Garbage Disposals add additional solid waste from food to the septic tank. Heavy use of garbage disposals result in increased frequency of tank pumping.
Running three or four laundry loads consecutively will put more water into the septic tank than the drainfield can handle. By spreading out your laundry loads throughout the week, you give the drainfield time to breathe.
Greases and harsh chemicals kill off the beneficial bacteria which are necessary for breaking down organic material entering your septic tank. Dispose of cooking greases in an empty jar; ensure cleaning agents are safe for your septic system by reading their labels.
Avoid driving cars and/or large equipment over your drainfield. Also avoid planting any type of tree or other plant directly adjacent to the drainfield as the root systems seek moisture and may damage underground pipes.
Label each location with signs indicating where your tanks & fields are located. This can save you money and possible repair cost by ensuring contractors know exactly where (or where not) to dig.
