What the Cleveland listings show

This page lists six companies for Cleveland. All six have a Google rating. Chris Mote's Pumping Service ranks first with a 4.9 rating from 90 reviews. We were able to read the websites of two of the six. Among those, one describes installing systems for new construction, two mention repairing or replacing failing systems, two offer tank pumping and none mention alternative systems.

Mountain and forest land

Much of the land around Cleveland is rural, wooded and hilly, and homes and cabins outside town commonly rely on septic. Georgia's rules apply the same way here as anywhere in the state: no one may install a septic system, or begin developing a lot that will use one, without a construction permit from the county health department, and that permit follows a site inspection of soil, groundwater and rock. On mountain lots, those findings can decide whether a standard drain field fits or a different design is needed.

Where these companies say they work

One of the Cleveland companies lists the areas it serves on its website, and each business page shows those areas, so check that your property is covered before you call. Six of the six publish hours on Google, including one that show as open 24 hours a day, and five link to a company website. For more choices nearby, the White County page lists one more company in the county that is not on a city page.

Questions worth asking in Cleveland

None of the two 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. None of the two websites we could read mentions financing, so ask about payment options if you need to spread the cost. Only one of the two 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. 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 Cleveland installer

Tell the company where the property is, how many bedrooms it has and whether it is a new build, a repair or a home sale. Ask whether it handles the White County permit, whether it works on alternative systems, and whether it also pumps and inspects existing tanks. White County also has a county page in this directory for service-area businesses with no city listed.

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.
