#1 Septic Tank Replacement Services in Georgia
Over time, even the best-maintained septic tanks reach the end of their functional life. Whether due to age, damage, or failure to meet modern standards, a failing tank can result in backups, contamination risks, and costly repairs. At Septic Tank Guru, we specialize in complete septic tank replacement services for homeowners and property managers throughout Metro Atlanta. We help you replace aging or broken tanks with efficient, long-lasting systems tailored to your home’s needs and soil conditions—while ensuring full regulatory compliance every step of the way.
Why Replace Your Septic Tank?
Septic tanks are built to last, but over time, factors like age, wear, or damage can compromise their performance. Replacing an outdated or failing tank prevents costly issues like backups, leaks, or environmental contamination. A new septic tank ensures efficient wastewater treatment, protects your property’s value, and provides peace of mind for years to come.
Signs You Need Septic Tank Replacement
- Sewage smells in your yard or near the drainfield.
- Sluggish drainage or unusual noises from plumbing fixtures.
- Soggy patches or pooling water near the septic system, even without rain.
- Wastewater surfacing in sinks, showers, or toilets.
- Tanks older than 20–30 years or those requiring frequent repairs may need replacement.
- Non-compliance with county health regulations during property transactions.
Our Septic Tank Replacement Process
We inspect your existing system, review your property’s layout, and determine whether a full tank replacement is necessary or if a partial solution is available.
Our team manages all permit applications, inspections, and coordination with county environmental health offices to ensure your new system is fully approved.
Based on your household usage, property conditions, and future expansion plans, we recommend a septic tank that fits your needs—whether conventional or engineered.
We excavate and remove the failed tank, taking care to protect your landscaping. Then we install your new septic tank with precision—complete with new inlet/outlet connections, backflow prevention (if needed), and grading to promote proper drainage.
Once installation is complete, we test the entire system to ensure flow, sealing, and functionality. Your new septic tank will be ready for long-term, worry-free use.
