Reviews“The job was done in a very professional manner. Rob walked me through the process that they had done. Also, have issues with the property in regards to erosion issues. Rob has got in touch with people to assist in fixing this problem also. I highly recommend SepticRooter.”
“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.”
“It was a pleasure to work with Rob and his team. They kept us informed and up to date every step of the way, did a phenomenal job and left us in a better place than before they came to help. Highly recommend! Top notch customer service, friendly, knowledgeable, does great work and honest.”
“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.”
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 Stone Mountain almost always means a cheaper, simpler fix.

DeKalb County Permits & SoilSeptic work in Stone Mountain runs through DeKalb 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 DeKalb Public Health (Septic System Program) handles permitting and inspections locally. DeKalb's Septic System Program reviews plans, analyzes soil reports, conducts site evaluations, and issues permits for new and repaired systems.
Many DeKalb homes near Decatur, Dunwoody, and Stone Mountain are older, on in-town lots where the original system predates current standards — so siting and records often need extra attention. 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 Stone Mountain job to pass county review.
We're a state-certified Georgia contractor and pull the permits, schedule the DeKalb County inspections, and stand behind the work — so you don't have to navigate the county process yourself.
Stone Mountain, Georgia, located in DeKalb County east of Atlanta at the base of Stone Mountain, is home to Stone Mountain Park, the Stone Mountain Village, and the Yellow River. We serve homeowners throughout Lithonia, Tucker, and Snellville and the surrounding communities.
