Bruce Bunch is Eljen GSF certified — installing Geotextile Sand Filter systems that treat wastewater in the trench and work where conventional fields fail.
The Eljen Geotextile Sand Filter is an advanced on-site wastewater system that treats effluent inside the trench before it ever reaches the soil. Because it does the treatment up front, it can perform on lots where a standard drain field would fail — and Bruce Bunch is Eljen GSF certified to design and install it correctly.
Each GSF module uses layered geotextile fabric to create a treatment surface, breaking down wastewater far more thoroughly than soil alone. That means smaller footprints, better performance in poor soils, and a system that protects your groundwater. Bruce sizes and lays every trench to match your site's real conditions.
With 32 years of experience and a Georgia Master Plumber license, Bruce installs the whole system himself — no subbing it out, no shortcuts. You get honest pricing and a field built to last, done right the first time.
Here's what makes a properly installed GSF system worth it for a tough lot:
GSF modules treat wastewater before it reaches the soil, protecting your groundwater and nearby wells.
Advanced treatment means the system can fit on small or sloped lots where a conventional field won't.
Bruce is Eljen GSF certified and installs to the system's standards, not a guess.
Sized and laid for your real soil conditions so it performs for the long haul.
Wastewater leaves your septic tank and flows into trenches lined with Eljen GSF modules. The layered geotextile fabric creates a large treatment surface where beneficial organisms break down the effluent before it reaches the surrounding sand and soil.
Because so much treatment happens in the trench, the system doesn't lean on perfect soil the way a conventional field does. That's what makes it a fit for heavy clay, shallow soils, and small parcels that would otherwise rule out on-site wastewater.
Bruce handles the full install — tank connections, trench layout, module placement, sand specification, and backfill — matched to your site. Every step is done by an Eljen GSF certified master plumber who's accountable for how it performs.
A complete Eljen GSF installation handled start to finish:
A conventional drain field depends on the soil to treat the wastewater. The Eljen GSF treats effluent inside the trench using geotextile modules first, so it works on soils and lots that a standard field can't handle.
It depends entirely on your soil, water table, and lot size. Bruce evaluates your site honestly and only recommends a GSF system when conditions actually call for it — no upselling. Call 706-527-3829 for a straight answer.
Yes. Bruce Bunch is Eljen GSF certified and holds Georgia Master Plumber license #107769, with 32 years of experience. He installs the full system himself.
Often, yes. Because the GSF treats wastewater in the trench, it typically needs less area than a conventional field, which makes it a strong option for small or tight parcels. Bruce confirms the fit during your site evaluation.
Heavy clay is one of the conditions the GSF is built for. The in-trench treatment doesn't rely on the clay to do the work, so the system can perform where a conventional field would fail. Bruce checks your specific soil to be sure.
