Red Piedmont clay drains slowly, so drain fields can saturate after heavy spring and summer storms.
Septic pumping, repairs, inspections, and installation for Summerfield homes on country-sized lots.
Tarheel Septic Solutions sends crews from nearby Kernersville to Summerfield driveways off US 220 and NC 150 every week.
Summerfield has no town sewer system, so nearly every home relies on a private septic tank and drain field. That is true in established neighborhoods like Henson Forest and Carlson Farms. It is just as true for newer custom homes tucked along Strawberry Road, Pleasant Ridge Road, and the winding lanes near Lake Brandt.
Large lots, long driveways, and homes set far back from the road are part of the local charm. They also mean septic tanks are often buried a good distance from the house, sometimes under mature landscaping or near horse pastures and outbuildings. Our technicians are used to locating hidden lids, running hose across long distances, and protecting your lawn while we work.
Many Summerfield households are also larger, with four or five bedrooms, guest suites, and finished basements. More bathrooms and more laundry put more strain on a tank. Our residential septic services are sized to fit how your family actually uses water, not a generic schedule.
Summerfield sits within the drainage area that feeds Lake Brandt and Lake Higgins, two of Greensboro’s water supply reservoirs. Guilford County Environmental Health watches septic permits closely here, and the town’s low-density zoning exists partly to protect that water. Most homes also draw drinking water from a private well, so a healthy septic system matters for your own tap as well as the lakes downstream.
