Our Services
Septic tank repair starts with finding what actually broke. A backup in the house can come from a clogged line or a failed baffle. It can also come from a full tank or a soaked drain field. We pull the lid and check the parts you cannot see from the yard, then tell you what we found.
Septic Superior is a family business based in Thompson's Station. Buddy Tomlin has worked on septic systems in Williamson County since 2004, and he runs the company with his son. More than 20 years of septic work in this county means we have seen how these systems fail here. We repair tanks, lids, risers, baffles, filters, and the lines that run between them.

Most calls start the same way. A toilet drains slow, and then the shower backs up while the washer is running. Some people smell sewage in the yard after a rain. Others find a wet, spongy spot in the grass right over the tank.
Concrete tanks crack with age and take on groundwater, which fills the tank faster than it should. Baffles rot off, so solids run out toward the drain field instead of staying put. Lids and risers crack when a mower or a truck rolls over them. Roots and settling can break the line between the house and the tank.
Cost comes down to the part that failed and how much digging the fix takes. A broken lid or riser is a small job with a short dig. A cracked tank has to be pumped down and dried before we seal it, so that one runs longer. Tank depth matters too, since a deep tank on a sloped lot takes more machine time to reach.
We give you a free estimate before any work starts. If the tank is fine but the field is soaked, the fix lives on our drain field repair page. If the tank is too far gone to patch, that work falls under septic system installation. We tell you which one you are dealing with after we open the system.
We work out of Thompson's Station and cover Williamson County first. That takes in Franklin, Spring Hill, Brentwood, Nolensville, and Fairview. We also run repair calls into Columbia, Mount Pleasant, Lewisburg, Murfreesboro, and Dickson. Lot sizes and soil change across these counties, and that changes how a system fails and how we fix it.
Emergency septic service is available when a tank backs up into the house. Call (615) 957-9682 and tell us what the drains are doing and where the water is showing up. Bigger septic repairs in Tennessee can need a permit before the work starts. In Williamson County the county sewage disposal office handles those permits.

(615) 957-9682From the first phone call to the final grade, here is exactly how it goes.
Tell us what the system is doing, or what the new build needs. You talk to the family, not a call center, and we set a time to come out.
We look at the tank, the field, the soil, and the access. Then you get one price for the whole job before any work starts.
We file the county or state septic permit where the job needs one, then dig, set, and plumb the work to what the permit calls for.
The inspector signs off before anything is covered. We backfill, grade the ground smooth, and leave the yard ready to seed.

Williamson County runs its own septic office, and the counties around it permit through the state. We file the right paperwork in the right office and never cover a system before the inspector signs off.
Tank, field lines, pumps, and the buried sewer and water lines that feed them. When something fails, we find the real cause instead of selling you the part we happen to fix.
