Tegu Deck Enclosure Built Over Septic Tank Caused Emergency Backup in Braselton, GA

Bulldog Septic responded to an emergency septic backup at a home in Braselton, GA after the homeowner discovered a custom Tegu deck enclosure had accidentally been built directly over the septic tank. The deck support posts had been installed directly on top of the septic tank access lids, preventing proper access to the system and creating major serviceability issues.

Our team located and uncovered the septic tank, safely relocated the deck supports away from the access openings, and restored proper access to the system. During the septic inspection, we discovered a clogged main sewer line, a missing inlet baffle, and a damaged effluent filter contributing to the septic backup.

To restore proper system operation, Bulldog Septic unclogged the main sewer line, replaced the missing septic tank inlet baffle, installed a new effluent filter, and completed a full septic tank pump out. This emergency septic repair in Braselton, Georgia helped restore proper wastewater flow while ensuring the septic tank can now be safely accessed for future septic pumping, inspections, and maintenance.
