Most Roswell homeowners waste $500–$800 on a pump-out that doesn't solve their problem. Backing drains, sewage smell, wet spots — these are signs of a system issue, not just a full tank. We locate, excavate, and fully diagnose — then give you a firm price. Free.

Warning SignsA healthy septic system is invisible. When these show up at your Roswell home, there's a problem — and it usually isn't solved by pumping.
Multiple slow drains or gurgling toilets point to a system problem — not something a pump-out fixes.
A persistent smell indoors or in the yard means effluent isn't going where it should.
Soggy ground or unusually green patches over the drain field signal a failing field.
Air forced back through the plumbing is an early warning that the system is struggling.
Pumping an already-failing system in Roswell can actually make things worse — and hides the real issue for another month. A free diagnosis tells you what's truly wrong before you spend a dollar.

Reviews“Found these guys after being upsold by a previous septic company and they were first class. Actively turned down work as told me it wasn't required and would be a waste of money.”
“Rob handles all my septic properties. He and Beth have partnered with me for years. I've never met anybody as knowledgeable about septic systems as Rob is.”
“Professional from the start. The ONLY pro to offer a FREE inspection and keep their word. We only needed general maintenance, but we know our system is in good shape.”
“Massive thank you to Rob Simmons and SepticRooter for diagnosing the problem I've had with the standing water on the side of my house.”
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 Roswell almost always means a cheaper, simpler fix.

Fulton County Permits & SoilSeptic work in Roswell runs through Fulton County's health department, and local soil decides what's possible. Here's what that means for your property — and how we handle it.
In Georgia, septic work is governed by the Department of Public Health under Rule 511-3-1, and Fulton County Board of Health, Environmental Health Services handles permitting and inspections locally. Fulton's Environmental Health Services reviews and inspects on-site sewage management systems and confirms lots are properly sized before approval.
North Fulton's Piedmont clay and rolling, wooded lots (common around Roswell, Alpharetta, Milton, and Johns Creek) mean drain field siting and lot size matter a great deal. New systems require a Level 3 soil report from a state-certified soil classifier — the old “perc test” is no longer used.
State rules require a drain field to sit at least 100 feet from a well and the lot to be properly sized for both the system and a replacement area. We design every Roswell job to pass county review.
We're a state-certified Georgia contractor and pull the permits, schedule the Fulton County inspections, and stand behind the work — so you don't have to navigate the county process yourself.
Roswell, one of north Fulton's largest cities, blends a historic downtown along the Chattahoochee with sprawling wooded subdivisions. Many established neighborhoods east of the river remain on septic despite municipal growth around them. We serve homeowners throughout Historic Roswell, Martin's Landing, Horseshoe Bend, Willeo and Crabapple and the surrounding communities.
