Ah, fall in Georgia. The air gets crisp, the leaves turn golden, and pumpkin spice sneaks its way into everything from coffee to dog shampoo. Cherokee County starts buzzing with hayrides, harvest festivals, and last-minute costume runs to the Dollar General. Itâs a season for flannel shirts, bonfires, and not for emergency septic backups.
But every yearâwithout failâwe get the same call:
âHey, yâall⌠uh, the in-laws just got here and the toiletâs not flushing. Weâve got 12 people in the house and a turkey in the oven. Can you get here in the next 10 minutes?â
Letâs talk about how to avoid becoming that family.
đ A Spooky Tale of Thanksgiving PastâŚ
Back in 2022, the Hendersons of Canton, GA (names changed to protect the slightly embarrassed) were preparing for their annual fall feast. Aunt Brenda was making her famous sweet potato casserole. Uncle Rick had already claimed the recliner. The kids were running wild. Everything was going greatâuntil someone flushed and the tub started burping.
Fast forward 30 minutes: the Hendersons were using a neighborâs bathroom, the dog was hiding behind the couch, and the only thing spookier than Grandmaâs ghost stories was the smell coming from the hallway.
Turns out, their septic tank hadnât been pumped since Obamaâs first term.
Lesson learned: Your septic system doesnât care that itâs fall. It just wants to be cleaned.
đ Why Fall is the Best Time for Septic Service in Cherokee County
Hereâs why your septic system deserves a little love this autumn:
đ More People, More Flushes
Football watch parties. Halloween guests. Thanksgiving dinner. Your home gets a lot more foot traffic in the fall, and your tank can only take so much before it taps out.
đ Cooler Temps = Easier Work
Cooler weather means the ground is still soft enough for cleanouts and repairs, but not yet frozen. It’s the perfect window before winter hits.
