Call Now — (931) 334-5580Your septic tank quietly handles thousands of gallons of waste every year. When it gets full, the consequences are anything but quiet. A-OK Septic & Excavation provides professional septic tank pumping services across Columbia, Spring Hill, Franklin, Lewisburg, and the surrounding Middle Tennessee area.
We use commercial-grade vacuum trucks to completely empty your tank, leaving it clean and properly functioning. Whether it's routine maintenance or an overdue pump-out, our team gets the job done quickly with zero mess left behind.
Most septic tanks need to be pumped every 3 to 5 years, but the right schedule depends on several factors:
A good rule of thumb: if you can't remember the last time it was pumped, it's time to call. Waiting too long leads to system backups, drain field damage, and repairs that cost 10x more than a simple pump-out.
Don't ignore these warning signs. A backup is an emergency — and emergency calls always cost more. Call us before it becomes a crisis.
When A-OK Septic shows up, here's what happens:
No upselling. If something needs attention, we tell you honestly. If everything looks good, we tell you that too.
