Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a general contractor or a septic specialist for my drainage problem?
It depends on the scope of the issue. If your problem involves both your home's plumbing and the septic system, a company that handles both can diagnose the root cause more accurately. Drainage Experts of Savannah covers all three trades, so you won't get bounced between contractors.
How does Savannah's high water table affect my septic system?
High water tables can cause the drain field to become saturated, which prevents wastewater from filtering properly into the soil. During heavy rain seasons or tidal surges, systems in low-lying Savannah neighborhoods are especially vulnerable. Regular inspections help catch early signs of saturation before you're dealing with a full backup.
Can you repair a drain field, or does it always need to be fully replaced?
Many drain fields can be repaired rather than replaced, depending on how much damage has occurred and what caused the failure. A technician will assess the distribution lines, the soil absorption capacity, and the overall layout before recommending repair versus replacement. Repairs are usually significantly less expensive when caught early.
How often should I have my septic tank pumped in Georgia?
Most Georgia homeowners should pump their septic tanks every three to five years, though households with more occupants or heavy water use may need it more frequently. Chatham County's soil conditions can also affect how quickly solids accumulate. A technician can give you a personalized recommendation after inspecting your tank's current level.
What permits are required for septic work in Savannah?
Chatham County requires permits for new septic installations and major repairs, issued through the county health department. A licensed contractor typically handles the permit application process on your behalf. Always confirm your contractor pulls the proper permits before work begins to avoid issues during future property sales.
Can you combine septic and plumbing repairs in a single visit?
Yes, because this provider covers both trades, a single crew can handle plumbing repairs and septic work during the same appointment. That's a real advantage when the two systems are connected and the problem spans both. It cuts down on scheduling delays and reduces the total labor cost.
