We offer complimentary troubleshooting, second opinions, customer service, and diagnostics for every project we take on. My name is Eric Daktar. I am the owner and founder of Independent Septic and Sewer. Over the past 13 years, I have worked for 3 different plumbing companies. I have developed my skills through countless hours of troubleshooting on-site septic systems.

I specialize in locating tanks, pumping tanks, diagnosing problems, removing roots, cutting concrete sidewalks and driveways to gain access to the tanks, replacing broken tank lids, replacing main sewer lines to tanks, drain field repairs, cleaning and clearing clogs out of the sewer, drain field lines, and more.

Services
Honest, quality, and affordable services since 2019 in the Atlanta, GA Metro Area and surrounding counties. We specialize in Septic Pumping, Septic Cleaning, and Septic Inspections. However, we do not pump grease traps. Our septic system services are second to none. We have the experience and know-how to make sure your septic systems are cleaned and pumped properly so the system can perform at maximum efficiency.
A septic tank is an underground tank used for wastewater treatment, biological decomposition, and drainage. Septic tanks allow safe disposal of wastewater and are widely popular in areas that have poor drainage systems or are off the main sewage network. We clean these tanks so that residents can enjoy a safe, functional system without worrying about buildup or other problems.
A septic tank is an underwater sedimentation tank used for wastewater treatment, biological decomposition, and drainage. Septic tanks allow safe disposal of wastewater and are widely popular in areas that have poor drainage systems or are off the main sewage network. We dig up the tank or pump through a riser to remove all sludge and solids.
Septic tanks allow waste to separate into three layers: solids, effluent, and scum. The solids settle to the bottom where microorganisms decompose them. The scum, composed of waste that's lighter than water, floats on top. For septic tanks, the words "pumping" and "cleaning" are interchangeable, even though they mean slightly different things.

We cannot say enough about this professional, local, family run business.
The office has always been friendly, responsive, and accommodating with scheduling service. And the team that came out to pump our septic was cordial, organized, and efficient. We watched the process from start to finish and felt free to ask anything about what they were doing and what they recommend. Responses were always informative and helpful and never came off as an upscale or push for more services.

I called Independent Septic and Sewer for help with my septic problem on Saturday morning and they were at my house within 2 hours and had the job completed in about 4 hours. Eric went step by step and kept me informed about the problem and each step he was taking to bring about the solution.
He and Josh drained the tank, flushed the field and the line to the house and also used their artistic skills to build a new baffle for the rear of the tank.
They were prompt, professional, courteous, skilled and saved me in the throes of a major crisis.
I will never again wait so long between

Had issues with slow drains. Called to have septic tank pumped out. Josh and Cody came out and pumped out the tank. They checked the flow of water coming from the house to the tank and found roots in the main drain. They replaced the main drain and had eveything working with in a couple of hours. They were very professional, explained everything throughly with showing me all the issues. I watched them do the repairs and can tell you they difinitely know what they are doing! I will recommend them to my family and friends.

Great company! I called to have our septic tank pumped, and they were able to send a crew out within 48 hours. Josh and Cody showed up ahead of schedule, we’re very polite, pleasant, and informative. They walked us through every step, had us review their work throughout the process, and patched our yard up really well afterwards. We will be using this company for all of our septic needs from now on. Thanks guys! See you next time!

Called on Sunday and they worked us into the first slot on Monday due to an emergency situation. Eric was great on the phone and explained things. They communicated as they were arriving and showed up on time. Our tank was disgusting and had apparently not been pumped in many years, maybe never. UGH! We bought the house last year and falsely assumed the previous owners had it serviced. Independent Septic had a flat rate service for cleaning the tank. Had we gone with a company that added extra fees for removing sludge, we would have paid far more. Our line from the house was clogged with grease
