What makes One Way Septic different
We are a family business, and our family has been in the septic trade since 1953. Jody Harrison is the fourth generation. We believe in diagnosing the system correctly, explaining your options, and letting you decide. We are the doctor telling you the symptoms, not a company that pushes work you do not need.
Every job is backed by our Guaranteed Workmanship: we stand firmly behind our work and guarantee 100% satisfaction. When you call, a real person answers, and we call ahead about an hour before we arrive.
Signs it is time to call
- Slow drains or toilets that flush slowly
- Gurgling pipes or sewage odors in the house or yard
- Wet, spongy, or unusually green areas in the yard
- Sewage backing up into a tub, shower, or floor drain
- It has been three to five years or longer since the last pump-out
Red clay soil is common across this part of Georgia. Clay drains slowly, so a drain field has less room for error, and regular pumping is the best protection. A camera inspection of the lines can catch roots and breaks before they cause a backup, and it is currently free with septic pumping.
