Septic Tank Installation

North Georgia's Septic Installation Specialists


Septic tank installation is a critical process involved in establishing an efficient and reliable wastewater management system for residential and commercial properties. It begins with careful planning and site evaluation to determine the most suitable location for the septic tank, taking into account factors such as soil type, groundwater levels, and local regulations. Once the design is finalized, excavation is undertaken to create a space for the tank, ensuring proper depth and dimensions. The tank is then securely placed and connected to the plumbing system, allowing wastewater to flow into it for primary treatment.


After the septic tank is installed, the next step is to establish the drain field, also known as the leach field. The drain field is responsible for the final treatment and disposal of the treated wastewater. Perforated pipes or chambers are laid in trenches filled with gravel or aggregate material, distributing the treated wastewater into the surrounding soil. This allows for further natural filtration and purification processes, ensuring that the wastewater is safely and efficiently absorbed into the ground.


Proper installation of a septic tank requires adherence to local regulations and the expertise of experienced professionals. It is crucial to engage licensed septic system contractors who have a thorough understanding of the installation process and can ensure compliance with safety and environmental standards. By following the necessary steps and relying on professional assistance, septic tank installation can provide a reliable and efficient wastewater management solution for properties, contributing to the overall health and safety of the environment.

Reliable Rooter Septic Tank Installation

Installing the Longest-Lasting Systems in Atlanta


Just moved into a new home and need a reliable contractor to install a septic tank? Reliable Rooter is your solution to outfitting your home with the most reliable septic tanks in Metro Atlanta and North Georgia. Our certified technicians can do the job quickly and affordably without sacrificing our dedication to quality and customer satisfaction.


How does it work?

Installing a septic system requires a great deal of planning and intensive labor. The process first starts out by mapping your home’s topography and plumbing to find the best location for the septic tank and drainfield. Before we can break ground, you also need to obtain an onsite wastewater treatment permit from your local department of health – we’ll help you navigate through that process as well. Once we obtain permission from the county or State of Georgia, we can implant the septic tank, install the drain field, and finally attach your home’s plumbing exit pipe to the septic system.


Being A Responsible Septic Tank Owner

As a homeowner with a septic system, you have a few more responsibilities than other Atlanta residents. You need to monitor the health of your septic system, watch out for signs of trouble (like slow draining pipes), and schedule regular septic tank pumping. Reliable Rooter is your partner for any questions or concerns you might have along the way.



What Type of Septic System is Right for You?

Reliable Rooter has some of the most highly trained technicians in the industry, meaning that we know how to install several types of septic tanks and systems. For example, depending on your home’s daily water usage, you could need anywhere from a 1000-gallon tank to a 2000-gallon tank (or possibly even more). The size of the tank will affect the overall installation cost. Further, if your home needs a more advanced septic system like a low-pressure dose system to carry water uphill or an aerobic system to recycle wastewater, then this will require the installation of other expensive components beyond a conventional septic tank.
