"Great experience. Showed me a few things that needed to be adjusted with my system, came and pumped it out quickly and efficiently. Also marked the septic/nitration lines for a deck project I am doing. Did that well and Gwinnett County was happy they did it timely."

"Prompt, friendly, and professional! We needed emergency help and they accommodated our needs. Our tank was located beneath some piping, so they dug carefully. Willing to take time help us understand when we had questions about our options and what choices we could make for a healthier septic system in the future. We’re grateful."

"They did a good job cleaning out our septic. I felt is was a bit of an overcharge of about additional $800 for powe washing out the line between the two tanks and the line into the drain field. I felt it was necessary so I approved it anyway. The rest of the service was great."

"Jeff Hegwood with Flush Pro gave us excellent customer. When he contacted us we had already set up an appt with some one else but he took the time to give up tips of what we should expect from someone pumping your septic tank. He also said we could call him if we had any other questions. We took advantage of his offer and called him about the quote we had received. His advice was so good we declined the first offer because it was too expensive and set up an appt with Jeff. Two days later he came out and pumped and repaired our septic tank for much much less than the first quote we received. Jeff is a man of his word and does quality work. I will definitely have him doing my maintenance work on my septic tank from this day forward! Thanks, Jeff!"

"I was given Joe's number by another highly rated septic service company that was unable to accommodate me right away. I urgently needed a septic blockage diagnosed and fixed (thank goodness the relief valve kept sewage from backing up into my house and released it into the yard). Joe is knowledgeable about septic system construction and problems. He and his crew inspected the tank, jetted out the clogged line to the house, and offered options for addressing system compromise due to placement of the tank next to a large tree. I will call him for future work."

Septic Tanks FAQs, answered by experts

The best times of year to empty or pump a septic tank are spring and fall. Many professionals recommend spring because the ground has thawed, making the tank easier to access and the waste less likely to be frozen. Pumping before summer also helps avoid conflicts with vacations or outdoor gatherings. Fall is another great option, as contractors may be less busy, and servicing the tank can reduce the risk of overflow from winter and spring precipitation. While summer is also a suitable time, winter is generally not recommended due to frozen ground.

You can put yogurt in your septic tank, but it will not increase the bacteria in your septic tank. In other words, it won't harm your tank, but it won't get rid of a septic smell or boost the performance of your septic system. While yogurt contains helpful bacteria, you would need to buy an extraordinary amount of yogurt to make any difference. Adding yogurt is not a helpful or cost-effective strategy.

A household of four can easily fill a 1,000-gallon septic tank within a week. It may be 10 to 14 days for smaller households. But the reason why you don't need weekly pumping is because the tank's contents eventually reach the overflow pipe. They flow down this pipe to the absorption area whenever water is used in your home. The tank keeps working at this full level until it's pumped again.

The physical constraints of hand-drilling a well limit the depth you can achieve. Manually digging with picks and shovels may only lead to shallow wells of up to 60 feet in depth. To reach greater depths, you need more specialized equipment. The diameter of your well and the tools you’re using will determine how far down you can dig.

There are three layers of wastewater in a septic tank: scum (solid waste that floats to the top of the wastewater), liquid (the relatively clean liquid wastewater in between the two other layers), and sludge (solid waste that falls to the bottom of the wastewater). The buildup of sludge is one of the main reasons septic tanks need to be pumped. If the tank is more than 1/3 of the way full with a combination of sludge and scum, it’s time to call a pro for pumping.
