"Fantastic service! We have a nice sodded lawn over the septic tank. They precisely located the access cover and hand-dug a hole only about 2' in diameter, taking very good care to preserve the sod as they started. All done in under 2 hours and we have only a small mound in the grass where the dirt should settle back down in a few months. If we need septic service again, our first and only call with be to A. Bailey. And, they are veterans and active duty in the Army reserves. I'm happy to help support our service members."

"Steve and crew did a great job on my project! From first contact to project completion was only two weeks. They were very professional, did exactly what I asked, and left the job site clean. Would definitely use again!"

"Kyle and Koby were excellent. I was very concerned about the functioning of our septic system. Kyle assessed the situation and repaired our system in a timely manner. He kept us updated throughout the process and showed us where/how the issue occurred. Koby was a good assistant. Both were friendly, professional and efficient. Thank you!"

"I have 46 year old home w/ septic tank & drain field. They pumped the tank, installed a new lid w/riser for easier future access. Determined the drain field has an obstruction. James explained, after testing the drain field, that performing a “cross-over” would restore drainage from the tank into the drain field. Because of scheduling, this part is to be performed in another week or two. This is the 3rd time in 37 years having this system serviced. All In One took great care to minimize damage to my yard. I was able to compare rates with 4 other contractors and decided on All In One to do this job. I hope to not need their services again but if needed I will definitely call again."

FAQs for septic system installation and replacement projects in Cumming, GA

The smallest standard septic system uses a 500-gallon tank, which costs between $875 and $1,150 installed. This size works well for single-occupant dwellings with minimal wastewater production. However, many local regulations specify minimum tank sizes, so check with your building department before committing to this compact option. Some jurisdictions require at least 750 gallons regardless of home size to ensure adequate waste processing capacity.

The installation timeline varies based on site conditions, permit processing, and contractor schedules. The process includes obtaining permits, conducting soil tests, excavation, tank placement, leach field construction, and final connections. Weather conditions, soil challenges, and inspection scheduling can all affect the overall timeline. It's wise to begin planning well in advance of when you need the system operational.

The most economical approach is to install a conventional anaerobic system with a plastic tank. To minimize costs while maintaining legality, obtain multiple quotes from licensed installers, consider scheduling during their slower seasons, and handle basic site preparation yourself. Never skip permits or required testing to save money—illegal installations can result in significant fines and mandatory removal, ultimately costing far more than doing it right initially.

Regular pumping helps prevent system failures and extends operational life. Most small systems require pumping every three to five years, though frequency depends on household size and usage patterns. Pumping services cost between $290 and $530, making this maintenance expense relatively minor compared to potential repair costs ranging from $500 to $2,600 for neglected systems. Establishing a regular maintenance schedule based on your installer's recommendations helps avoid costly emergency services.
