Georgia City Directory
Calhoun is the county seat of Gordon County in northwest Georgia. The city lies along the Oostanaula River where Oothkalooga Creek joins it, in the Coosa and Alabama river watershed, with Interstate 75 along its eastern edge. Septic permits for lots in and around Calhoun come from the Gordon County health department.
These are local septic companies that may provide septic service such as septic tank pumping, septic repair or septic installation. A service is shown only when that company's own website confirms it.
Ranked by rating, review count and specialist focus. Unrated companies last. No company pays for its place.
Badges come from what customers say in Google reviews
This page lists five companies for Calhoun. All five have a Google rating. Bagley Tank Inc ranks first with a 4.8 rating from 54 reviews. We were able to read the websites of one of the five.

River and creek ground can be wet in some seasons, and Georgia's permit process asks about the seasonal high groundwater table along with the soil and any rock. Have your address and bedroom count ready, and ask whether the company handles the Gordon County permit. Gordon County also has a county page in this directory for service-area businesses with no city listed.
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.
