“We called SepticRooter Saturday morning. Rob answered right away and came that same afternoon to allow us to use our water and bathroom until the bigger job was done. He found several issues and was very detailed at explaining it.”
“SepticRooter is truly the best in the business! As a real estate professional, I've relied on Rob and his team multiple times for my clients, and they have exceeded expectations every single time.”
“Can't say enough how great SepticRooter was coming to our rescue as we had a very bad sewage back up from the septic tank being clogged. They diagnosed the problem quickly, explained the issues and costs for repair and performed the work very quickly even with the freezing temps.”
“Rob is absolutely the best for all things septic! First, he and his wife Beth are responsive, which sets a nice tone for getting scheduled. I recently moved into the house and had no idea where both septics are.”

Regular pumping removes solids before they reach your drain field — most homes need service every 3 to 5 years.
“Flushable” wipes don't break down and grease coats your tank — both accelerate failure fast.
Back-to-back showers, laundry, and dishwasher cycles can overwhelm the system. Space them out.
Tree and shrub roots seek out moisture and invade tanks and lines — a leading cause of repairs.
Don't park or drive over the drain field — compaction crushes lines and ruins percolation.
Slow drains, odors, or lush green patches in the yard are early warnings — don't ignore them.
Save pumping and repair records — they help at resale and speed up any future diagnosis.
Catching problems early in Metro Atlanta almost always means a cheaper, simpler fix.
