Flanigan Brothers Septic

Hello, I'm a producer at CBS46 in Atlanta. I see the video you attached is no longer online. Please contact me, thebulldog@***.com

Anyone who is considering purchasing a home with a septic tank and field needs to have the system inspected by someone who knows what they are doing, etc. This is common sense.

Just because you say all is ok is not good enough. Trust, but verify. In your case, Flanigan's was in the wrong. They should have asked permission before they did anything and you were correct in stopping them.

I assume you have your septic tank pumped out every few years. See if your potential buyer wants to get an appraisal of your system from that company if they can/will do this service.

Thanks guys for awesome service, I'm so glad I've chosen Flannigan brothers septics ,cost more than fair, job well done and most of all cleaning after done was very appreciated,guys cleand surrounding, I'm very thankful,if you need any work on septics its place to go to.I recommend them, sincerely, sunny

You may or may not have a problem with your septic field. I assume you meant "filled" when you said "felling." Contact a local plumber or firm that has been in business for awhile---ask around if need be---and ask them who they recommend to come out and look at your system.

If you have a problem with your field, you most likely cannot just dump chemicals into it and hope it cures the problem. It won't. Depending on how old your septic system is and how often you had the tank cleaned out, you might need a new field. Expensive.

Never rely on the guy who sucks out the tank. They know little other than how to suck out the liquid. Good luck, but find a professional sewer cleaning company. I have my tank cleaned out every two years.

My neighbor has never done his, but he is alone and uses little water. I pity whomever buys his place when he is gone as they will definitely need a new septic field in addition to a new tank.

The cost of cleaning a septic tank, by the way is based on the size of the tank. That's why they should ask you how big it is before quoting you a price.

I called Flanigan Bros yesterday when they pulled the lid up they told me the exact same thing. Told me my leech field was bad would Cost $6800 then tells me they can use a chemical cleaner would cost $2800. Very shady stay away!!
