If you live in North Georgia, chances are your home relies on a septic tank system.
Think of a septic tank like your home’s digestive system: it handles all the waste, breaks it down,
and if it’s not working right — you’ll know! Just like a car engine needs regular oil changes,
your septic system needs care to run smoothly.
At Reeves Septic Tanks, we’re number 1 in No. 2 (and we’re not Chanel either).
Here’s our easy-to-understand guide for installing and maintaining a septic system in North Georgia.
Why Septic Systems Are Common in North Georgia
Many homes here aren’t connected to city sewer lines, so septic tanks are the go-to option.
Our famous Georgia clay and rolling hills make it important to have professionals design the right setup.
Septic Tank Installation in North Georgia
Installing a septic system isn’t a weekend DIY project—it’s more like building the foundation of your home.
It requires soil tests, permits, heavy equipment, and expertise. We handle everything, from picking the right tank size
to grading the land so your system lasts for decades.
How Often Should You Pump a Septic Tank?
A good rule of thumb? Every 3–5 years. But like changing tires, it depends on your household size and usage.
Bigger families or smaller tanks may need it more often. And with Georgia clay, it’s always better to play it safe.
Common Septic Problems in Georgia Clay Soil
Clay soil is like a sponge—it holds water. This can lead to drain field backups, soggy yards,
and even toilet troubles. With professional grading and maintenance, you can avoid those messy surprises.
Simple Septic Maintenance Tips
1. Don’t flush grease, wipes, or chemicals (your tank isn’t a trash can).
2. Pump regularly and schedule inspections.
3. Keep cars and heavy equipment off your drain field.
4. Fix leaky faucets to avoid overwhelming the system.
