Aardvark Septic Services covers Priceville, the fast-growing town east of Decatur in Morgan County, right off I-65. New subdivisions here have put many homes on septic. We pump, inspect, locate and repair systems. We come down from Athens. Call (256) 604-9681 for a fixed price on the phone.
Priceville sits just east of Decatur in Morgan County, right by Interstate 65. It stayed a small crossroads until the interstate went in, and its location by the highway has driven steady growth ever since. The town is preparing for major growth, with hundreds of new homes approved across several subdivisions.
A lot of that new building sits on septic where sewer does not reach, and the rural land around town has always been on private systems. Priceville is a run south from our Athens base, down toward Decatur, and it is part of our service area.
Interstate growth on septic
Priceville's spot by I-65 has made it a fast-growing town, and hundreds of new homes are coming across several subdivisions. New neighborhoods that go in ahead of sewer end up on septic, and the rural properties around Priceville have been on their own tanks all along. That mix keeps us busy on the Morgan County side.
We come down from Athens through Tanner, so a Priceville call is a familiar drive for us.
What new-home owners should know
If you bought a newer Priceville home and came from a sewer neighborhood, the basics are simple. Your tank needs pumping every three to five years, sooner with a garbage disposal or a full house. The effluent filter needs occasional cleaning, and a clogged one can mimic a full tank and back up the house. Get on a schedule and it never surprises you.
Slow drains, gurgling, and a wet green patch over the field are the signals to call.
What we run into in Priceville
- Priceville is just east of Decatur in Morgan County, right off Interstate 65.

Protecting the drain field
The expensive failure is a drain field that quits, and North Alabama clay drains slowly, which does not help. Keeping the tank pumped so solids never reach the field is the protection. A new field costs far more than routine pumping. When one is failing you see soggy ground and smell odor over it.
Prevention is the whole game, and we would rather help you stay ahead of it than dig up a field.
