Our Septic Services in Athens
Athens is home to the University of Georgia, and outside its sewer service area many homes, rentals and small properties depend on septic. We help owners, landlords and property managers keep those systems running.
Septic Tank Cleaning
A thorough cleaning removes built-up sludge and scum, and lets us check the baffles, inlet and outlet while the tank is empty.
Septic System Repair
On Athens rental properties, repairs often come down to what goes down the drain — wipes and grease that clog lines and baffles. We fix the damage and help owners set expectations for tenants.
Septic System Inspections
Inspections for Athens homeowners, buyers and sellers, with findings explained clearly so you know what condition the system is in.
Septic Maintenance
Routine pumping on the right schedule for your tank and household is the simplest way to protect your drain field and avoid backups.

Local Septic Problems
Septic Problems in Athens, GA
Athens rentals and shared homes put extra load on septic systems. Wipes, grease and heavier water use lead to clogged lines, full tanks and backups, often at the worst time. Owners and property managers should act on slow drains and odors right away, before tenants are dealing with sewage.
Rental properties around Athens often see changing occupancy and heavier use, which can fill tanks faster than owners realize.
When to Call a Professional
Call right away if sewage backs up into the house or surfaces in the yard — that's an emergency, and we answer 24/7/365. For slow drains, odors, an alarm or soggy ground, schedule a visit soon. Small problems caught early are usually simpler and less expensive to fix than a failed drain field.
Call 770-407-7975Slow-draining sinks and showers
When several drains slow down at once, the problem is usually in the tank, the main line or the drain field — not a single clogged fixture.
Septic odors
Sewage smells inside the house or near the tank can mean a full tank, a cracked lid, a dry plumbing trap or gases escaping from a struggling system.
Sewage backups
Wastewater coming up in a tub, shower or lowest floor drain is a sign the system can't move water away. Stop using water and call right away.
Standing water around the drain field
Soggy ground, puddles or unusually green grass over the field can mean the soil is saturated or the lines are damaged.
Tanks that need pumping
If it has been more than a few years — or you don't know when the tank was last pumped — solids may be close to escaping into the drain field.
Septic Questions from Athens Homeowners
Do you work with landlords and property managers in Athens?
Yes. We pump, inspect and repair septic systems on rental properties and can help set up a maintenance schedule.
How often should a septic tank be pumped in Athens, GA?
Many households in Athens and across Clarke County pump every three to five years, but the right interval depends on tank size, how many people live in the home and how much water you use. We'll recommend a schedule after seeing your tank.
How much does septic tank pumping cost in Athens?
The price depends on your tank's size, how easy it is to reach and whether the lids need to be dug up. We provide free estimates in Athens, so you'll know the price before any work begins. Call 770-407-7975.
What are the warning signs of septic system failure?
Slow drains throughout the house, gurgling plumbing, sewage odors, backups in the lowest drains and soggy ground or standing water over the drain field are the most common signs. The sooner you call, the more likely it can be fixed with a smaller repair.
Does Green Septic Clean serve my neighborhood in Athens?
We serve homes and businesses throughout Athens and the surrounding parts of Clarke County, as well as nearby Watkinsville, Comer and Danielsville. If you're not sure your address is covered, call or text 770-407-7975.
Can septic problems be repaired without replacing the entire system?
Often, yes. Lids, baffles, lines, pumps and individual drain field sections can usually be repaired on their own. Heavier use at Athens-area rentals can overwhelm a drain field over time. We evaluate the field and repair the affected sections when possible.
