From emergency pump alarms to full system replacements, alternative-system installs, repairs, and $299 homebuyer inspections — SepticRooter™ is Metro Atlanta and North Georgia's most trusted septic company.
We respond fast · No obligation · Licensed experts
Whether your system is failing, your alarm is going off, you need a repair, or you're buying a home — SepticRooter™ has the licensing and expertise to handle it.
Failing drain field or an aging system beyond repair? We replace complete septic systems across Metro Atlanta — all permits pulled, county inspection guaranteed, upfront pricing before we dig.
Red light flashing? Buzzer going off? A pump alarm is an emergency — back-up or flooding can follow fast. We respond quickly across Metro Atlanta and talk to a real tech, not a machine.
Pumping won't fix the most common problems. We diagnose the real issue — clogs, roots, deteriorated pipes, crushed distribution boxes, failed pumps, broken drain fields — and fix only what needs fixing.
Before you pay $500–$800 for a pump-out, get a free diagnosis. Backing drains, odors, and wet spots are usually a system problem — not just a full tank. We locate, excavate, and tell you what's really wrong.
The worst time for a septic inspection is after closing. We pull county records, document everything on video, and deliver a detailed report so you know exactly what you're buying.
A difficult lot that won't pass a conventional perc test? We design and install engineered alternative septic systems — including the Eljen GSF — built for Georgia's challenging soils and tight sites.

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.
SepticRooter™ started in 1989 as Edwards Septic Tank Service in Statham, and we're still family-owned and operated today. When you call, you get our actual crew — the same folks you'll meet in your driveway.
We answer the phone, we show up when we say we will, and we explain what's really going on with your system before you spend a dollar.
See Where We Work
“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.”
