River valley, lake and mountain
Ground around Cartersville runs from the Etowah River valley to Lake Allatoona, a large Corps of Engineers reservoir, and up to the summit of Pine Mountain, the highest point in the city. Red Top Mountain State Park sits on a peninsula in the lake just outside the city limits. With that much variety, a septic design depends on the site itself, and Georgia's rules require the county to inspect it and look at soil, groundwater and rock before issuing a construction permit.
Where these companies say they work
Five of the Cartersville companies list the areas they serve on their websites. Besides Cartersville, the places named by more than one of them are Adairsville, Bartow County, Canton, Cherokee County, Cobb County, Fulton County, Alpharetta and Atlanta. Each business page shows the areas that company names, so check that your property is covered before you call. Six of the six publish hours on Google, including six that show as open 24 hours a day, and five link to a company website. For more choices nearby, the Bartow County page lists four more companies in the county that are not on a city page.
Questions worth asking in Cartersville
Only one of the five 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 five websites we could read mentions free estimates, so ask up front whether a site visit or quote carries a charge. Only two of the five websites we could read mention alternative systems such as aerobic, mound or engineered designs, so if your lot may need one, ask whether the company installs them. 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 a Cartersville installer
Have the address, the bedroom count and any older records ready, and mention if the lot is near the lake or the river. Ask whether the company files the Bartow County permit, who arranges the soil evaluation, and whether it handles repairs and pumping as well as new installs. The business pages show what each listed company says on its own website.
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.
