Septic Services in Franklin & Nashville, TN
Septic services cover the inspection, repair, leach-field testing, and grinder-pump servicing of on-site wastewater treatment systems — septic tanks, distribution boxes, drainfields, and related components serving Middle Tennessee properties not connected to municipal sewer.
What Septic Services Is
Prodigy currently provides septic inspection, septic repair, leach-field testing, line hydro jetting, and grinder/ejector pump service. We do not currently offer septic tank pumping or new septic system installation (a pump truck is on the horizon). On-site systems in Tennessee are regulated by TDEC, the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation.
Problems It Solves
Property owners call us for septic service in situations like these:
- A real estate transaction requires a TDEC-compliant septic inspection
- The drainfield is failing — soggy yard, slow drains, or sewage smell
- A grinder pump (common on lots below sewer grade) has failed
- Leach-field performance needs to be tested
- The property was inherited or purchased with unknown septic service history
- Slow drains throughout the home point to a system problem
- A rural property in unincorporated Williamson, Maury, Wilson, or Sumner county has no municipal sewer access
Our Process
Our septic service process keeps you TDEC-compliant:
TDEC Permit Verification
TDEC permit verification and service-history review
Tank Location
Tank location and access, uncovering the lid if it is buried
For Inspection
structural assessment of the tank, baffle check, effluent filter inspection, drainfield surface assessment, distribution-box check, and a hydrostatic test if required
For Repair
diagnosis and correction of failed components such as baffles, distribution boxes, lines, leach-field issues, and grinder/ejector pumps
Leach-Field Testing
Leach-field testing and line hydro jetting where indicated
Service Records Filed
Service records filed for both your protection and the TDEC compliance trail
When You Need It
Schedule a septic inspection for any pre-purchase due diligence, when selling, or for a TDEC compliance check. Call for repair when you notice a soggy area over the drainfield, sewage smell at the tank, slow drains throughout the home, a sewage backup, or a grinder pump that is not cycling. Because Prodigy does not currently offer pumping, plan routine pumping with a licensed pumping provider on the standard 3-5 year interval.
Who It's For
Rural Middle Tennessee property owners — primarily Williamson County outside city sewer (rural Thompson's Station and Nolensville), Maury County around Columbia, and rural Wilson and Sumner county properties. Also real estate agents representing rural listings, home buyers in due diligence, and commercial or agricultural operations with on-site treatment needs.
Cost & Pricing
Prodigy currently offers septic inspection, repair, leach-field testing, line hydro jetting, and grinder-pump service. We do not currently provide septic tank pumping or new septic installation; for those, we can point you to a licensed provider. Final pricing depends on line length, depth, access, and condition; we confirm the exact figure after a free camera inspection. Financing is available through Synchrony and Service Finance.

Neglected septic systems fail in costly ways. Drainfield saturation can push raw sewage to the surface — a TDEC-reportable violation with possible fines — or back the system up into the home. A drainfield near a private well risks well-water contamination, a real estate sale can be blocked until the system is repaired, and a full drainfield replacement costs far more than routine maintenance and inspection. Catching problems early with a documented inspection protects both your property and your insurance position.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I pump my septic tank?
Most residential tanks need pumping every 3-5 years, and heavy-use or undersized tanks more often. Prodigy does not currently offer pumping, so we recommend scheduling that with a licensed pumping provider; we handle inspection and repair.
Does Prodigy offer septic tank pumping?
Not at this time. We currently provide septic inspection, repair, leach-field testing, line hydro jetting, and grinder-pump service. A pump truck is on the horizon, but until then we can refer you to a licensed pumping provider.
Do I need a TDEC permit for my septic system?
New construction and many repairs in Tennessee require TDEC involvement. We verify permits and service history as part of our process and keep your records compliant.
How do I know if my drainfield is failing?
Common signs are a soggy or unusually green area over the drainfield, slow drains throughout the home, sewage odor near the tank, or backups. Our leach-field testing confirms whether the field is the problem.
Does Prodigy install new septic systems?
Not currently. We focus on septic inspection, repair, leach-field testing, and grinder-pump service. For a new installation, we can point you to a licensed installer.
What's the difference between a septic inspection and a septic scope?
A septic inspection is a full condition assessment of the tank, baffles, filter, distribution box, and drainfield to TDEC standards. A camera scope inspects the sewer lines feeding or leaving the system. Many real estate situations call for both.
