Septic Tank Services in Hoover, AL

Septic systems in Hoover

Most of Hoover is connected to the sewer, and the newer planned neighborhoods were built that way from the start. But not every house in Hoover is. Older homes on large or steep lots – on Shades Mountain, around Bluff Park and Rocky Ridge, and along roads on the edge of the city such as South Shades Crest – were often built on a septic system, and many of them still use it.

Hillside lots make septic work in Hoover a little different. Tanks are often set deep or in awkward spots – under a deck, beside a retaining wall, below the driveway – and the field lines may run across a slope or sit uphill from the tank with a pump to lift the water. Finding the tank, getting to it safely and protecting the landscaping matter as much as the pumping itself. We dig only what is necessary and leave the yard clean.

Because septic is the exception in Hoover, it is also the part of the house buyers and sellers know least about. If you are buying or selling a home on septic, a septic inspection – locating the tank, pumping it and checking the baffles and field lines – gives everyone a clear picture before closing.

Hoover lies in both Jefferson and Shelby counties; septic permits come from the health department of the county the house is in. For homes on the Jefferson County side, that is the Jefferson County Department of Health.

We come to Hoover from McCalla and answer emergency calls 24/7. Slow drains, odors or a wet spot in the yard? See septic tank repair or contact us.
