Septic Tank Repair Services in Macon, GA
When your septic tank starts acting up, it’s rarely polite about it. Bad smells, soggy yards, and gurgling toilets don’t exactly wait for a convenient time to strike. If you’re in Macon, Perry, Warner Robins, or Milledgeville and your septic system is trying to tell you something, Fast Flow Septic and Drains is ready to listen — and fix it fast.
As a local, family-owned business, we know how important it is to keep things running smoothly at home. Our team shows up on time, solves the problem without upselling you on what you don’t need, and leaves your yard looking like we were never there.
What Are The Signs That My Septic Tank Needs Repair?
Not sure if something’s wrong? Here are a few red flags you shouldn’t ignore:
- Funky odors: If your backyard suddenly smells like a campground outhouse, something’s brewing underground.
- Standing water: Puddles forming near your tank or drain field — especially when it hasn’t rained — often mean a leak or overflow.
- Slow drains or backups: If your tub, sink, or toilet is sluggish (or worse, bubbling), your system might be clogged or damaged.
- Lush grass over the drain field: Greener-than-usual grass can actually mean wastewater is leaking into the soil.
If you’re nodding your head to any of these, don’t wait for a full-blown mess. Contact us before a small repair turns into a full tank replacement.

What Are The Most Common Problems With Septic Tanks?
Here’s a peek behind the curtain — these are the most frequent issues we get called for in Middle Georgia:
- Tree roots creeping into pipes or the tank itself
- Cracked tank lids or broken risers
- Collapsed or clogged drain lines
- Sludge overload from skipping septic tank cleaning
- Improper installation (yes, we fix other people’s bad work too)
- Backflow issues that send waste in the wrong direction (yikes)
No matter what’s going wrong, chances are we’ve fixed it before — probably last week.

Frequently Asked Questions About Septic Tank Repair
How do I know if my septic tank is full or broken?
A full tank usually causes slow drains and toilets that flush sluggishly. But if you're seeing wet patches in your yard, strong odors, or wastewater backing up into your home, it may be more than just a full tank — it could be a broken pipe, cracked tank, or clogged line. A proper inspection will tell you the difference.
Can I still use water if my septic tank needs repair?
It depends. If you're seeing backups or standing water, it's best to stop using water until we take a look. Continuing to run water could make the problem worse — and more expensive.
How much does septic tank repair cost in Georgia?
Every repair is different. Minor fixes might cost a few hundred dollars, while major issues like septic line replacement or pump repairs could be more. We offer fair pricing and always explain what you're paying for upfront.
What's the difference between septic pumping and septic repair?
Great question. Septic pumping removes built-up waste from your tank. It's maintenance. Septic repair, on the other hand, means we're fixing something that's broken — like a cracked tank, blocked pipe, or faulty baffle. If your system is acting up even after pumping, repairs might be needed.
Do you offer emergency septic repair near me?
Absolutely. We offer 24/7 emergency service in Macon, Perry, Warner Robins, and Milledgeville. If you're searching for a "septic repair company near me", chances are we're just a short drive away.
