Gurley sits about sixteen miles directly east of Huntsville, out near the eastern edge of Madison County, where the land turns hilly toward Keel Mountain. It grew up along the old Memphis and Charleston railroad and has kept its small-town, country character.
Out here, homes run on private septic and often well water, with no city sewer for most of the community. That makes a dependable septic company worth having. Gurley is a longer drive across from our Athens base, past Huntsville, and it is part of our service area.
A small town at the edge of the mountains
Gurley is quiet country at the eastern edge of Madison County, with larger lots and homes spread out toward the hills. Nearly everyone here is on septic and a well. There is no sewer to fall back on, so the tank has to be maintained and the drain field looked after. That is the work we do every week.
The country setting and hillier ground are all the more reason to have someone who knows septic handling the job.
When the tank is due
A typical household tank needs pumping every three to five years, sooner with a full house or a garbage disposal. Watch for slow drains, a gurgling toilet, odor in the yard, or a strip of grass over the field that is greener and wetter than the rest. Those are the signs it is time. The lowest fixture in the house usually backs up first.
Call before it becomes a mess inside. Catching it early is always the cheaper route.

Locating tanks and cleaning filters
On older Gurley properties, the tank lid is frequently lost to time. We locate it, pump the tank, and can add a riser so the access sits at grade for next time. We also clean and replace effluent filters, which clog gradually and can act just like a full tank, and we auger blocked lines between the house and the tank.
One call covers the whole system, from finding the lid to clearing a slow line.
