What the Augusta listings show

This page lists eight companies for Augusta. All eight have a Google rating. Bestway Septic Tank ranks first with a 4.8 rating from 116 reviews. We were able to read the websites of four of the eight. Among those, two describe installing systems for new construction, four mention repairing or replacing failing systems, three offer tank pumping and none mention alternative systems. Two listings are service-area businesses that do not publish a street address.

Where the Piedmont meets the coastal plain

Augusta is one of Georgia's fall line cities, sitting about halfway up the Savannah River where a series of small falls marks the end of the navigable river and the entry to the Georgia Piedmont. Clarks Hill Dam, also built on the fall line near Augusta, forms Clarks Hill Lake. Ground near the fall line can change character quickly, so the county's site findings on soil, groundwater and rock carry real weight in septic design, and installers will usually want to see a lot before quoting.

Where these companies say they work

Four of the Augusta companies list the areas they serve on their websites, and each business page shows those areas, so check that your property is covered before you call. Six of the eight publish hours on Google, including four that show as open 24 hours a day, and six link to a company website.

Questions worth asking in Augusta

None of the four websites we could read mentions alternative systems such as aerobic, mound or engineered designs, so if your lot may need one, ask whether the company installs them. Only one of the four websites we could read mentions soil tests, perc tests or permit help, so ask who will arrange the soil evaluation and file the permit with the county health department. Only one of the four websites we could read mentions financing, so ask about payment options if you need to spread the cost. A missing mention does not mean a company does not offer the service; it only means its website did not say so.

Before you call an Augusta installer

Check which county the property is in before you start, because the Augusta area spills into neighboring counties and the permit comes from the county where the lot sits. Have the address and bedroom count ready, and ask whether the company handles the permit paperwork and the soil evaluation. Two Augusta listings share a brand name with different phone numbers and addresses, so check the business page for the exact location you want to reach.

How septic permits work in Georgia

Georgia's onsite sewage rules (Rule 511-3-1-.03 of the Georgia Department of Public Health) say no one may install a septic system, or begin developing a lot that will use one, without first getting a construction permit from the County Health Department. Repairs, replacements and additions to existing systems must be permitted and inspected too.

The application covers the property, the planned system, the number of bedrooms and the soil, including seasonal high groundwater and any rock. The county issues the permit only after a site inspection with favorable findings, and a system may not be covered or used until the county has made a final inspection and approved it in writing.

The Department certifies the people who install, inspect, pump and repair septic systems, and publishes lists of certified installers, pumpers and soil classifiers. A certification from another state does not carry over to Georgia.
