Gainesville is the Alachua County seat and home to the University of Florida. Much of the city is on sewer, but plenty of homes just outside the service areas rely on septic systems. If your drain field is acting up, the first question is simple: does your address have a septic system or a sewer connection? Your utility bill or the county can tell you.
Older neighborhoods and rural edges around Gainesville can have systems that went in a long time ago, and the lots around them have changed since. Trees have grown, driveways have been added and sheds have gone up over fields. Any of those can make a repair harder, so tell the pro what has changed on your lot.
We connect Gainesville homeowners with local septic pros. We are a referral service, not the contractor.
Local tips
- Find your tank and field before you plan any yard work, patio or shed.
- If you rent out a house here, keep records of pumping and repairs so you can answer questions fast.
- Ask whether your street has sewer available before you spend on a new field.
