Your Ellijay Septic Crew
Ellijay is the seat of Gilmer County and the "Apple Capital of Georgia," sitting where the Cartecay and Ellijay rivers meet to form the Coosawattee, ringed by orchards and the ridges running up toward Rich Mountain. It is apple country and cabin country at once. The biggest single piece of our work here is the Coosawattee River Resort — a huge gated mountain community of thousands of cabins and homes spread across steep wooded lots, where nearly every property is on its own septic tank and drain field. We pump, clean, repair, and inspect residential systems throughout the Ellijay area. That gated-community pattern is its own animal: a mix of full-time residents and short-term rentals, tanks buried on grades with no records, and pump systems lifting effluent uphill to whatever flat ground a lot offers. Beyond the resort, we work the orchards and long-held farm land around Whitepath and Cartecay, where older, undersized tanks are common, and the heavy North Georgia rain that keeps the apple trees green also saturates drain fields in the area’s clay and rocky soil. We know Gilmer County, we know the Coosawattee, and we know how to reach a tank on a steep cabin lot without tearing up the property. Tell us where your tank is and what is going on, and we will give you a straight answer and a real price.

Common Septic Issues in Ellijay
The septic problems we see most around here — and how we handle them.
Coosawattee River Resort — every home on septic
The Coosawattee River Resort packs thousands of cabins and homes onto steep wooded lots, and nearly every one runs on its own septic tank and drain field. With a mix of full-timers and short-term renters, use is uneven and records are thin — we locate, pump, and inspect these systems and set a schedule that fits how the property is actually used.
Steep cabin lots and pump systems
On the grades up toward Rich Mountain and inside the resort, many cabins sit below the only good spot for a drain field, so the system uses a pump tank and floats to lift effluent uphill. Those pumps wear out, and a failure backs the whole system up — we test and replace pumps, floats, and alarms so you get warning first.
Older orchard and farm systems
Out around Cartecay and Whitepath, a lot of the apple country is long-held farm land with septic tanks decades old and often undersized, working in slow clay and rocky soil. Regular pumping and an honest look at the tank keep these older systems from washing solids into a field that already drains slowly.
