Sound familiar?

Signs your Lawrenceville tank needs pumping now

About 30% of Gwinnett County residents rely on septic, and most don't think about the tank until one of these shows up.

Drains gurgling everywhere

When every sink, tub and toilet slows at once, the problem is usually the tank or its outlet, not a single pipe.

A sewage smell outside

Odor over the tank or drain field, especially on warm evenings, often means the tank is full and gases are escaping.

Wet, green grass over the field

Lush or soggy patches in a dry week mean effluent is surfacing. Waiting risks the drain field itself.

Five-plus years since the last pump

Gwinnett's own guidance puts a 1,000-gallon tank with four people at roughly every 2.6 years. Most homes are overdue.

Why homeowners call us

Straight answers from a septic company that shows its prices

  • Price ranges before booking

    Local ranges by tank size are published here and in our cost guide. The quote on the phone matches them, and the crew confirms before starting.

  • The whole tank, not half of it

    Georgia tanks have two compartments. Both get pumped, the baffles get checked and the effluent filter gets cleaned on every visit.

  • Gwinnett paperwork handled

    Receipts show gallons, tank size, findings and date, the format the county stormwater credit, lenders and home inspectors accept.

  • Red clay know-how

    Dense Piedmont clay drains slowly and seals up under an overloaded field. We tell you what the drain field is doing, not just that the tank is empty.

The process

From phone call to clean tank

  1. Call or request

    Tell us your address, tank size if you know it, and when it was last pumped. You get a price range on that call.

  2. Locate the lid

    We check the Gwinnett septic record for your parcel, then probe for the lid. Exposed lids or risers skip the digging charge.

  3. Pump and inspect

    Both compartments pumped, sludge depth noted, baffles and effluent filter checked, house line watched as it drains.

  4. Receipt and advice

    A dated receipt with findings and a recommended next pump date based on your tank size and household.

FAQ

Septic pumping questions from Lawrenceville homeowners

How much does septic tank pumping cost in Lawrenceville, GA?
Pumping a standard 1,000-gallon tank in Lawrenceville typically costs $280 to $520 in 2026, with an average around $380. A 1,500-gallon tank runs roughly $345 to $650. Buried lids, heavy sludge and after-hours calls add to the price. See the full cost guide.

How often should I pump my septic tank in Gwinnett County?
Every three to five years for most homes, per Gwinnett County and the EPA. Gwinnett’s own homeowner kit puts a 1,000-gallon tank serving four people at about every 2.6 years, so bigger households need it sooner.

How do I know if my house is on septic?
Look at your Gwinnett County water bill. If the sewer charge reads $0.00, the home is almost certainly on septic. The county’s online GIS Data Browser also shows septic records going back to 1959 for many parcels.

Where is my septic tank?
Usually at least 10 feet from the house, 2 to 3 feet underground, on the side where the main sewer line exits. Your Gwinnett septic permit or plat shows the layout. If you can’t find it, we locate it with a probe and can install a riser so it never needs digging again.

Do you pump both compartments?
Yes. Georgia requires residential tanks to have two compartments, and both are pumped on every visit. We also check the inlet and outlet baffles and clean the outlet effluent filter.

Can I get money back for pumping my tank?
Yes. Gwinnett County gives a 10% credit on the stormwater utility fee for five years when you submit a dated pumping receipt from a licensed hauler. Every receipt we issue includes what the county asks for.
