"Don Thomas is a true gem. I have had to use his services two times in the last few months. Both times was on a Saturday. Today I was experiencing a back up in septic system. Doing laundry and my toilet was bubbling up sludge. Yuck. I called him up and this weekend is a holiday weekend. He was with family. We agreed that he would come this coming week. He called me back and said he would come by to fix the immediate issue so that my family and I could wash clothes and dishes and take showers without worrying that we would be cleaning ourselves or our dishes or clothes in crap. We are so thankful for the thoughtfulness and the sacrifice from Don. The day went from shitty to giddy. Woohoo. Highly recommend"

FAMILY OWNED AND OPERATED. 25 EMPLOYEES.

"The lack of integrity and quality of work was not what I expected from a company that has been around for so long. Work ethic and quality of work has greatly diminished over the years. We paid over $21,000 for electrical on a remodel and instead of replacing 40+ year old wiring, they just spliced parts of new wire to the old wire AND left most of the wiring hanging down on the ground. They also had cut the wire in several places and did not fix it until we called them. I would not recommend them or the contractors that use them (Pressnell Enterprises)"

We no longer support Angies List (AL)! Why? We were recently called by AL telling us that we had some complaints that we needed to address. When I called AL back about these, I was informed that no there wasn't any complaint but I needed to advertise with AL. I have entered 2 different complaints via the AL web site with out response. Just like my customers I choose who to do business with and based on this I choose NOT to do business with Angies List. Randy Anderson

FAQs for septic system installation and replacement projects in Athens, AL

Most septic system replacements require several days to complete, not including permitting and preparation time. The process begins with site assessment and testing, followed by excavation, component installation, and final inspection. Weather conditions, property accessibility, and inspection schedules can all affect your project timeline. Your contractor can provide a more specific estimate based on your property's unique characteristics.

Standard homeowners' insurance policies don't cover septic system replacement due to age or normal deterioration. Coverage may apply if damage results from specific covered events, but routine maintenance and eventual replacement are generally considered homeowner responsibilities. Review your policy details or speak with your insurance agent to understand your specific coverage limitations.

Look for multiple indicators such as slow-draining fixtures, unusual gurgling sounds in plumbing, sewage odors inside or outside your home, or wet spots in your yard. Unusually lush grass over the drain field area, frequent backups, or recurring repair needs might signal system failure. Addressing these warning signs promptly can prevent property damage and health hazards.

DIY septic installation is not recommended and may violate local regulations. Professional installation ensures compliance with health codes, proper design for your specific site conditions, and appropriate safety measures. The specialized equipment, technical knowledge, and permitting requirements make this a job best left to licensed professionals who can guarantee the system's safety and effectiveness.

With proper maintenance, including regular pumping, a drain field lasts 20 years. Various factors influence system longevity, including household size, water usage patterns, and soil conditions. Regular professional inspections can help determine when replacement becomes necessary. If your system requires increasingly frequent repairs, replacement might be more economical than continuing to address individual problems.
