"We recently hired Guardian to pump out our septic tank. They were very friendly and extremely fast and reasonably priced. They also took great care with the landscaping that was around the entrance to the tank, which we greatly appreciated. We will definitely use them again."

About Guardian Septic Services

Family Owned, and Built on the Guardian Way

Nathan Camp founded Guardian Septic Services after 17 years in the wastewater industry, built on a simple idea: septic help should be easy to get when you need it. Too often, homeowners cannot get anyone on the phone when their system backs up.

We started Guardian to serve the people of northeast Georgia and make it easy to get help when they need it most. Our goal is to treat every customer with respect and be fast problem solvers. We call it the Guardian Way of doing business.

FAQ

Septic Pumping Questions, Answered by Our Crew

Do Not See Your Question Here? Give Us a Call and We Will Walk You Through It, No Pressure.

How Often Should I Pump My Septic Tank in Georgia?

The Department of Health Services in Georgia generally recommends that most tanks be pumped out every three to five years. Many factors can change that time frame, including household size, tank size and how the system is used.

What Happens if I Do Not Pump My Tank?

The most common problems with not pumping your tank regularly are clogs, saturation of your drain field, and unresolved repairs. Solids build up until they overflow into the drain field, which is where most expensive septic problems begin.

What Happens During a Septic Pump and Cleaning?

Our process involves locating the tank, digging if needed to remove the lids, assessing the functionality of the tank and its components, vacuuming out the solids, effluent and scum, then replacing the lids and reburying the tank.

The typical process takes around one hour for a routine maintenance pumping.

How Will You Find My Septic Tank?

We use handheld ground probes, sewer cameras or flushable trackers to help locate the tank as quickly as possible, with as little ground disturbance as possible.

Do You Offer Financing?

Yes. Guardian Septic Services works with Hearth Financing to provide flexible plans for septic needs, from emergency drainage to new system installation and inspection. You can review rates from over a dozen lenders in under two minutes without affecting your credit score.

Personal loans through Hearth's lending partners have fixed rates and terms, no prepayment penalties, and typically fund in one to five business days.
