Grambling is 5 miles west of Ruston on US-80, home of Grambling State University. That means thousands of students, hundreds of rental properties, and landlords who often have no idea their septic systems haven't been serviced in years. Grambling's growth has put more pressure on old systems. Most of the area is on septic. Many of those systems are struggling.
We pump septic tanks in Grambling every week. Rentals near campus, older homes that have been divided into apartments, single-family residences on US-80 and the surrounding back roads. The pattern is always the same: tank hasn't been pumped in years, tenant or new landlord finally notices the problem, and we open it up to find solids compacted solid.
Red clay soil is Grambling's other problem. The area sits on the same tight Lincoln Parish clay as Ruston. Conventional drain fields that might work elsewhere fail here fast. Many newer Grambling homes are built with aerobic systems because conventional systems won't percolate. If you have an aerobic system in Grambling, you need the Louisiana Department of Health (LDH) maintenance contract. We hold those contracts and do the required inspections.
After a heavy rain, we get calls from Grambling about backups and sewage smells. The clay saturates and struggling systems get overwhelmed. We're on call 24/7 for these emergencies. If your Grambling property is having septic issues after storm season, don't wait. Call [PHONE].
