Signs your septic system needs help
A septic problem caught early is usually a pumping or a small repair. Wait too long and it can mean sewage in the house and new field lines. Call us if you notice:
- Slow drains or gurgling pipes all over the house
- Sewage smell inside or around the tank
- Soggy ground or bright green grass over the tank or field lines
- Sewage backing up into a tub, shower or floor drain
- A septic alarm that keeps going off
- No pumping in the last 3 to 5 years – or you don’t know

Bessemer, Alabama
Septic service built for Bessemer homes
A Bessemer address covers far more than the old city around downtown. The 35020, 35022 and 35023 ZIP codes reach out into the hills and valleys of western Jefferson County, where the sewer lines end and most homes treat their wastewater with a septic tank and field lines in the yard. Many of those systems were put in decades ago – concrete tanks with buried lids, short field lines and no clean-out.
That is where most of our work happens. We have pumped tanks all over Bessemer, dug out roots that had filled a tank, repaired header and crossover lines on old systems and found tanks no one else could find. The heavy red clay common here drains slowly, so a tank that is pumped on time and field lines that are kept free of roots and traffic make all the difference. Permits for new systems and major repairs come from the Jefferson County Department of Health – we tell you up front when a job needs one.

What our neighbors say about us
Tanner and Trent have been amazing during the inspection and installation process. Communication has been clear and precise every step of the way. Thank you guys for everything and making part of this home buy journey smooth. 10/10
We were in need of emergency service for a full tank ( on a Sunday). The gentleman we spoke to on the phone was very courteous, and when Cross showed up he got right to work. He explained what he was going to do before he began shoveling down to the tank”s caps.
Our drains had started backing up and we called Alabama Septic Tank Services to come check it out. They were very professional and showed up within a couple of hours after I called them.
While asking around about who to use for a septic system percolation (perk) test, I was referred to Alabama Septic Tank Services, I’m very glad I called them.
Luke and Levi were Super polite, knowledgeable, and hardworking. They came out the same day I called and got the job done for us in a very professional manner. The price was very reasonable for what they had to do. We appreciated their timely service and kindness. We will use them again for sure. Thank you guys.
I inherited my mother’s house and it had sat vacant for 3 years. The septic tank hadn’t been maintained and needed to be pumped out. Levi came out and took the lid off and saw roots and dirt and vines had been growing in the septic tank for 20 years ( last time it was cleaned ).

Good to know
Septic questions, answered
How often should a septic tank be pumped?
For most homes every 3 to 5 years, depending on the size of the tank, how many people live in the house and whether you use a garbage disposal. If you don’t know when it was last pumped, it is probably time.
Are you really available 24/7?
Yes. Call (205) 426-1310 any time – nights, weekends and holidays. For backups and overflowing tanks we give you an honest arrival time when you call.
How much does septic pumping cost?
It depends on the size of the tank, how deep it is buried and how easy it is to reach, and how far we drive. We give you the price before we start, and we accept all major credit cards.
Do I need a new septic system?
Usually not. Most problems are fixed with a pumping or a repair – a pipe, a baffle, a lid or part of the field lines. We always look for a repair first and only recommend a new system when it is truly necessary.
Which areas do you serve?
Bessemer, McCalla, Hueytown, Hoover, Pleasant Grove, Lake View, Vance, Brookwood, Cottondale, Tuscaloosa and the communities in between.
Do you also do plumbing or heating and air?
