Franklin's Septic has been in business since 1979. We offer complete septic care. Check us out on the bbb.org website today. Call us today for a great deal!

"I contacted Mr. Franklin for what I thought was regular maintenance. I had never had the septic pumped before and was unsure where the tank was located as there were no visible indication of the piping. Mr. Franklin poked around but could not locate the piping so he contacted the County Health Department and obtained a copy of the blue print outlining the location of the septic tank. Turns out the line was inactive and the tank did not need to be pumped. After all the trouble Mr. Franklin went through between the drive out here, the hour he spent poking around trying to find the septic tank and waiting for the county to call back, he refused to accept any money from me. He would not even accept a trip charge. In a world were honesty just doesn't seem to exist anymore, it is so good to know that there are still trustworthy businesses out there! Mr. Franklin's knowledge of what to look for toppled with the time he took just to educate me is just priceless! I wish all businesses was like Franklin Septic!"

Plumbing Handymen questions, answered by experts

Before starting a plumbing project in Athens, review local permit requirements and schedule a utility locate if digging is planned. Assess your home’s water pressure and inspect for aging pipes or outdated septic systems. Gather property surveys and any previous permits, and take photos of your current plumbing setup. Interview at least three Athens-based contractors, confirm their insurance, and plan around peak demand periods like the university calendar.

Helpful?

Athens homeowners should consider the area’s clay soil, which can shift and impact underground pipes. Proximity to rivers affects drainage, and elevation changes may influence water pressure. Some neighborhoods rely on wells or septic systems, so municipal service availability varies. The climate brings heavy rainfall and occasional freezes, making proper drainage and pipe insulation important. Historic district rules and the university calendar can also affect project timing and contractor availability.

Helpful?

In Athens, plumbing projects often reveal hidden costs like permit and inspection fees, especially if a re-inspection is needed for code compliance. Upgrading to meet local plumbing codes—such as installing water pressure regulators or backflow prevention devices—can add expenses. The area’s clay soil may require extra work if shifting or root intrusion affects pipes, and well water systems sometimes need additional filtration or treatment.

Helpful?

Homeowners in Athens frequently overlook the need for proper permits and inspections, which can delay plumbing projects. Starting work during the rainy season or university events can complicate scheduling. Ignoring local code requirements, such as water efficiency standards or septic system updates, leads to compliance issues. Choosing contractors unfamiliar with Athens’ unique soil conditions or failing to verify insurance and references are also common pitfalls.

Helpful?

When reviewing plumbing quotes in Athens, be cautious of estimates that lack detailed breakdowns of materials and labor or omit permit and cleanup costs. Avoid contractors unwilling to provide proof of insurance or a local address. Watch for high-pressure sales tactics, requests for full payment upfront, or missing warranty information. If a professional cannot explain how Athens’ soil or local codes impact your project, consider it a warning sign.
