In the event of a sewage backup in your home, it's crucial to remain calm and take immediate action. 

Begin by turning off any water sources such as faucets, dishwashers, or washing machines to prevent further water inflow into the plumbing system.

To clean up after the incident, use a disinfectant cleaner like Lysol or Pine Sol. Alternatively, you can create a bleach solution with one part bleach to nine parts water for effective cleaning. Any carpets affected by the backup should be thoroughly steam cleaned.

If you notice that only drains at higher elevations (like a second-floor bathroom) are backing up while those on lower levels are not, this could indicate an issue specific to that area of your plumbing system.

If the backup is situated at a lower elevation or is the nearest drain to the septic tank, it could indicate an issue with the septic system. It’s recommended to uncover the lid of the septic tank and open its inspection ports for examination. Normally, liquid levels in a well-functioning tank should be about 1 foot below its lid.

If you observe that this level is either equal to or less than this standard, it might suggest a blockage in pipes leading to your septic tank. In such cases, professional help from a plumber would be advisable. However, if you find that liquid levels are higher than usual, it means waste materials are reaching your tank but not being effectively transferred to the absorption field. This could be due to issues with any existing filter on your system.

If the system requires another backup within a few weeks of having the tank pumped, it’s probable that the issue lies with the absorption field. For further assistance, please reach out to Gwinnett County Environmental Health at 770.963.5132. An inspector will gladly guide you on how to secure a repair permit.

Our Services

Septic Tank Cleaning

Septic tanks allow safe disposal of wastewater and are widely popular in areas that have poor drainage systems or are off the main sewage network.

Septic Tank Pumping

Septic tanks allow waste to separate into three layers: solids, effluent, and scum. The solids settle to the bottom where microorganisms decompose them.

Sewer and Drainage Septic

Other companies insert a vacuum hose in the tank and only suck out the liquids. But the only right way to remove all liquids and solids from the tank is the way we do it.

Septic Tank Pump Water Bill Credit

 

Water Bill Credit Request

Cobb & Douglas Public Health, through a generous American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) grant from Cobb County Government, is offering to assist Cobb County homeowners with the proper maintenance of their septic system. For the best operation, septic tanks should be pumped every 3-5 years.
 
Cobb residents can apply for up to a $250 one-time water bill credit as an incentive for having the septic tank at their owner-occupied primary residence
 

Eligible services must be completed between July 1, 2023 and September 30, 2026, or when the grant funds are exhausted, whichever occurs first.
