Killen sits in Lauderdale County along the north bank of the Tennessee River in northwest Alabama, near Wheeler Lake and the Elk River country. It is a small town with a lot of rural land and river frontage around it.
Away from the town center, homes run on private septic and often well water, and the river and lake mean campers and RVs that need holding-tank pump-outs. Killen is a drive west from our Athens base, and it is part of our service area.
River country on septic
Killen and the land around it sit right on the Tennessee River, and much of it is rural. Homes there run on a tank and drain field, often with well water, and there is no city sewer for most of the community. Lake and river places can run on systems that only get used part of the year, which is its own maintenance question.
It is a drive west from Athens, and we are glad to make it. Rural, river-area work is exactly what we do.
River ground and drain fields
Low ground near the river holds water, and North Alabama clay drains slowly, so a drain field near the water has to be looked after. Keeping the tank pumped every three to five years is the best protection, because it keeps solids from reaching the field. When a field is failing you see soggy ground and smell odor over it.
For a part-time river place, it is worth checking the system before a busy season rather than after a backup.
