Septic Tank Services in Brookwood, AL

Septic systems in Brookwood

Out past Lake View, along Highway 216 toward Brookwood, Vance and Abernant, you leave the sewer lines behind. In this part of eastern Tuscaloosa County most homes – farmhouses, manufactured homes and the newer houses built since the Mercedes plant came to Vance – treat their wastewater with a septic tank and field lines on their own lot.

We know this area from real work. In Brookwood we removed an old septic tank, installed a brand-new one and put in extended field lines – you can see the photos in Our Work. Old tanks out here are often original to the house, and field lines put in decades ago may be too short for how many people live in the home today.

New construction is common too. Before a house can be built on a lot without sewer, the Tuscaloosa County Health Department (part of the Alabama Department of Public Health) has to approve the soil and the site and issue a septic permit. The process starts with a soil evaluation – see perc tests & septic permits – and ends with an installation that matches the permit and passes the health department’s inspection. See septic system installation.

Rural lots bring their own maintenance needs: big trees near the tank, long driveways, tanks that were never fitted with a riser. Regular pumping every 3 to 5 years and a riser at ground level save money and digging in the long run.

We come to Brookwood, Vance and Lake View from McCalla, just up I-20/59 – and we answer emergency calls 24/7.
