Septic Systems in Forsyth County

Cumming is the county seat of Forsyth County, and many homes in and around the city rely on private septic systems, especially outside sewer service areas and on larger lots. Permits for new systems, repairs and replacements in Forsyth County generally go through the county Environmental Health office. We take care of that paperwork for you, from application through final inspection.

Like much of North Georgia, the Cumming area has red clay soil that drains slowly. After long stretches of rain, drain fields can stay saturated, which is when slow drains and soggy spots in the yard tend to show up. Keeping your tank pumped on schedule is the simplest way to protect your drain field.
