Houston County · ZIP 31028
Centerville sits right beside Warner Robins, and while many neighborhoods are on city sewer, plenty of established homes and larger lots in and around the city still run on a septic tank.
If that is your home, you can request routine pumping, inspections and repair visits, and get help working out whether a problem is the tank, the lines or the drain field.
Local septic service
Centerville is a small city in northern Houston County, bordering Warner Robins. Because some areas are sewered and some are not, a lot of residents are not sure which one they have, especially if they bought the home recently.
Septic systems on older properties may be decades old, with concrete or even steel tanks, clay or cast-iron lines, and drain fields that have been under lawns, driveways and additions for years. These systems can keep working well, but they need regular pumping and a watchful eye for early warning signs.
If you are selling a Centerville home that is on septic, having the tank pumped and inspected ahead of listing can answer buyer questions early and avoid surprises during due diligence.

Check your utility bill. If you pay for water but see no sewer charge, the home is most likely on a septic system. You can also look for a round or rectangular lid, or a slightly raised area of lawn, between the house and the back of the lot.
Houston County Environmental Health, located in Warner Robins, keeps septic permit records for many properties, and those records may show the tank location and size.

Inspections usually look at the tank, its lids and baffles, the condition of the waste inside, and visible signs at the drain field. Ask whether a written report is included if you need it for a sale.
