Quick answer: Cleaning takes pumping a step further, fully clearing out accumulated sludge and scum so the tank's bacterial balance and usable capacity are restored, not just topped off.
Gwinnett County Septic & Sewer Experts
A septic system doesn't wait for a convenient time to act up, which is why Gwinnett County residents keep Atlanta Wastewater Solutions's number on hand for septic tank cleaning.
Waste in a septic tank separates naturally into scum, liquid effluent, and settled sludge. If that sludge layer isn't fully cleaned out over the years, it eats into the tank's capacity and shortens the stretch between service calls. See our full septic tank cleaning page for the complete process and pricing details.
As one of Georgia's most populous counties, Gwinnett packs long-established neighborhoods and newer subdivisions into dozens of individual cities across the county. Because so much of Gwinnett County deals with the soil and drainage conditions described above, our septic tank cleaning crews plan around what a typical property here actually needs rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.

Gwinnett's rolling Piedmont terrain and clay-heavy soil mean drainfields need proper grading to avoid standing water and slow drainage after heavy rain.
