Owens Cross Roads sits southeast of Huntsville in Madison County, in the hillier country where Green Mountain rises to the west and Keel Mountain to the east. The nearby Big Cove area, at the foot of Green, Huntsville and Monte Sano mountains, has become popular with young families and new subdivisions.
That growth, out where the terrain is steeper and lots are larger, puts a lot of homes on septic. It is a drive across from our Athens base, past Huntsville, and it is part of our service area.
Hill country growth on septic
Owens Cross Roads and Big Cove have grown quickly with new subdivisions, and much of that building sits on private septic where sewer does not reach. The rolling, hilly ground here means larger lots and homes spread out along the base of the mountains. That is classic septic country, and it is what we work on.
The terrain can make tank access and layout a little more involved, which is all the more reason to have someone who knows septic doing the work.
Slope, soil, and your drain field
Sloped ground and North Alabama clay both matter for a drain field. Clay drains slowly, and terrain affects how water moves through a yard. The best protection, as always, is to keep the tank pumped every three to five years so solids never carry into the field. A failed field is the expensive repair, and it is the one to avoid.
Soggy ground and odor over the field are the warning signs. Call early and a pump-out and inspection usually head off the big job.

Full service on the system
We do more than pump. We locate tanks with no records, install risers so the access sits at grade, clean and replace effluent filters, auger blocked lines between the house and tank, and handle outdoor plumbing and water line issues. If you keep a camper for mountain and lake trips, we pump those holding tanks too.
It is one call for the whole system.
