  • Provides nutrient-rich water to surrounding soil
  • Helps maintain healthier groundwater

How Eljen GSF Systems Work

Eljen GSF (Geotextile Sand Filter) systems use an innovative multi-stage approach to wastewater treatment:

  1. Wastewater flows from your home to the septic tank where solids settle
  2. Partially treated effluent moves to the GSF modules
  3. The GSF modules contain geotextile fabric and sand that provide superior filtration
  4. Beneficial bacteria develop on the geotextile fabric, providing biological treatment
  5. The sand filter provides final polishing before the treated water returns to the soil

This multi-stage process ensures thorough treatment even in challenging soil conditions, making it an ideal solution for properties with high groundwater, clay soils, or limited space.

How Much Does an Eljen Septic System Cost?

Every Eljen system is designed for its lot, so the price depends on your property. These are the things that move the price the most:

  • Size of the home. The number of bedrooms sets how large the system must be.
  • Soil test results. Poorer soil can mean a larger or deeper system.
  • Lot size, slope and access. Tight or steep lots take more work and equipment.
  • Pump tank. If the drain field sits uphill from the tank, a pump tank and alarm are needed.
  • The existing tank. Reusing a sound tank costs less than replacing it.
  • Design and permit. The soil test and engineered design come first, before the county issues a permit.

Eljen vs. a conventional drain field: an Eljen system usually costs more than a conventional field. But when a lot fails a conventional soil test or doesn't have room for one, Eljen is often the most practical way to get a working septic system.

We give free estimates and quote the full price before any work begins. Financing is available.

Our Eljen GSF Installation Process

We handle the whole project, so you deal with one company from the soil test to the final inspection:

1. Soil Test

We test the soil where the system will go to find out how well it drains.

2. Design

We design an Eljen system sized for your home, soil and lot.

3. Permit

We pull the permit from your county's Environmental Health office.

4. Installation

Our crew installs the tank, Eljen modules and lines, and restores the yard.

5. Inspection

The county inspects the system before it's covered and put into service.

After installation, we provide comprehensive maintenance guidance and ongoing support to ensure your system continues to perform at its best. If issues arise down the road, our septic repair services are always available.

Where We Install Eljen Systems

We install Eljen systems across South Metro Atlanta and east to Conyers (Rockdale County) and Covington (Newton County), where many lots have the clay soil and slopes that make a conventional drain field hard to permit. Recent Eljen work includes Fayetteville, Tyrone, Senoia, Jonesboro and Riverdale.

Not sure whether your lot needs an alternative system? A septic inspection or soil test is the first step.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does an Eljen septic system cost?

It depends on the size of the home (the number of bedrooms sets the system size), the soil test results, the lot's size, slope and access for equipment, whether a pump tank is needed, and whether the existing septic tank can be reused. An Eljen system usually costs more than a conventional drain field, but on a lot that won't pass for a conventional field it's often the most practical option. We give free estimates, and financing is available.

How long do Eljen septic systems last?

With routine pumping and inspections, an Eljen system is built to last for decades. Like any septic system, the biggest threat is solids reaching the drain field, so keeping the tank pumped on schedule matters most.

How much space does an Eljen system need?

Less than a conventional drain field. The exact size depends on your soil, the size of the home, and the county's sizing rules, which the engineered design accounts for.

Are you a certified Eljen installer?

Yes. Plumb-All is a certified Eljen installer, and we've been installing Eljen systems since 2003. One of our installations is featured in Eljen's own installer training materials.

Are Eljen systems approved in Georgia?

Yes. Eljen GSF systems are approved for use in Georgia. Each installation still needs a soil test, a design, and a permit from the county Environmental Health office, which we handle.

Do you install Eljen systems in Conyers and Covington?

Yes. We install and service Eljen and other septic systems in Conyers, Covington, and across South Metro Atlanta, including Jonesboro, Fayetteville, Tyrone, Senoia, McDonough and Stockbridge.

Are you an Eljen distributor?

No. We're a certified Eljen installer, not a parts distributor. You don't need to buy anything yourself; the Eljen modules and all materials are part of our installation quote.

Do Eljen systems require special maintenance?

Not much beyond any septic system: pump the tank every few years, have the system inspected, and keep the effluent filter clean. If your system has a pump tank, the pump, floats and alarm should be checked about once a year.

See our guide on how to maintain your septic system.

Eljen GSF systems are a significant investment. Flexible financing options are available to help make your project affordable.
