Aardvark Septic Services covers Harvest, one of the fastest-growing communities northwest of Huntsville in Madison County. Rapid building here has put many homes on private septic. We pump, inspect, locate and repair systems, and we come from Athens. Call (256) 604-9681 for a fixed price on the phone.
Harvest sits in northwestern Madison County, roughly fifteen to twenty miles northwest of downtown Huntsville. It has been one of the fastest-growing residential communities in North Alabama for the better part of two decades, filling in with new subdivisions year after year.
A lot of that growth has landed on septic. Where the new neighborhoods run ahead of sewer, and out on the larger rural lots, homes rely on a tank and drain field. Harvest is an easy reach for us straight east from Athens.
Fast growth, more homes on septic
Harvest has been booming for twenty years, and building keeps pushing out. New subdivisions frequently go in ahead of municipal sewer, which means private septic systems, and the established rural properties here have always been on their own tanks. That combination keeps us busy on this side of Madison County.
If you bought a newer Harvest home and came from a sewer neighborhood, the key thing is that your tank needs periodic pumping and your filter needs cleaning.
What a new-home owner should know
A typical household tank fills over three to five years, sooner with a garbage disposal or a full house. The effluent filter on the outlet needs cleaning, and if it clogs it can mimic a full tank and back up the house. None of this is complicated, but it does need doing. Get on a simple schedule and it stays out of your way.
Slow drains, a gurgling toilet, or a wet green patch over the drain field are your signals to call.

Locating tanks in older parts of Harvest
Not all of Harvest is new. Plenty of longtime homes have tanks with no records of where the lid sits. We locate it, dig down, pump it, and can add a riser so the access comes up to grade for next time. We also clear blocked lines and clean effluent filters.
One call covers the whole system, new home or old.
