Septic Services in Canton, GA

Canton sits on the Etowah River, and many homes along East Cherokee Drive, Hickory Flat, Macedonia and Sixes Road are on septic. Older homes near downtown and newer subdivisions that were never connected to sewer both rely on drain fields. Southern Septic Company is based in Cumming and serves Canton and the rest of Cherokee County with septic pumping, inspections, repairs, installs and 24/7 emergency service. We offer free estimates and answer the phone day and night.
