Septic Tank Pumping in Knoxville, TN
Routine pumping to keep a septic system working — emptying the tank before sludge and scum reach the drainfield.
Knoxville, TN
Knoxville
Most of Knoxville itself is on city sewer — but the city's east and northeast fringe, south Knoxville, and the large-lot parcels on the city edge are on septic. This page is for those homes: the unsewered fringe, not the sewered core.
Knoxville Utilities Board (KUB) provides sewer in the denser, more developed parts of the city. Outside those areas, homes use individual septic tanks and drainfields. The septic areas to target are the east and northeast fringe along Asheville Highway, Strawberry Plains Pike, Millertown Pike, and Maloneyville Road, the south Knoxville and Forks of the River area, and large-lot or agricultural parcels on the city edge. Downtown, Bearden, and the Fountain City core are sewered and are not the market for this page. Whether a specific address is on septic or sewer can be checked parcel by parcel through KGIS or a Knox County Planning report.

FAQ
Is my Knoxville home on septic or city sewer?
It depends on the address, not the city name. KUB sewer covers the denser parts of the city; the east and northeast fringe, south Knoxville, and large-lot edge parcels are generally on septic. Check your address through KGIS or a Knox County Planning report, or ask the provider when you request help.
Do you serve downtown Knoxville?
No — downtown Knoxville is on KUB sewer. This service is for homes on septic, which in Knoxville means the unsewered fringe and the large-lot parcels on the city edge.
