Aardvark Septic Services covers New Market, the rural community in northeast Madison County that was the first area settled in the county. Larger homesites here run on private septic and well water. We pump, inspect, locate and repair systems. Call (256) 604-9681 for a fixed price on the phone.
New Market is in northeastern Madison County, only about fifteen minutes from downtown Huntsville but a world away in feel. It was the first area settled in the county, and it has never incorporated. The draw here is the quiet country pace, larger homesites, and room to grow.
Those larger lots mean private septic and often well water. There is no city sewer across the community, so keeping a tank pumped is on the homeowner. New Market is a drive east from our Athens base, and it is part of our service area.
Big homesites, private systems
People move to New Market for room, and room means septic. Homes sit on larger lots with a tank and drain field, and many draw water from a private well. As newer homesites open up in this fast-growing corner of the county, more systems go in the ground. Longtime rural homes here have been on septic all along.
It is exactly the kind of work we do every week, and New Market is a normal trip for us from Athens.
Simple maintenance, big payoff
A typical household tank needs pumping every three to five years, sooner with a full house or a garbage disposal. Staying on that schedule keeps solids out of the drain field, and the field is the expensive part to replace. North Alabama clay drains slowly, so the field does not need extra strain.
If you see slow drains, gurgling, or a wet green patch over the field, call before it turns into a backup. Catching it early is always cheaper.

Finding tanks and easing future service
On older New Market places, and this is one of the oldest-settled parts of the county, the tank lid is often lost under years of grass. Locating it is routine for us. We find it, pump the tank, and can add a riser so the access sits at grade. We also clean effluent filters and clear blocked lines.
No records on your system is not a problem. We handle it.
