Septic Companies in Macon, GA

Macon is a consolidated city-county: the city of Macon and Bibb County now run as one government, officially named Macon-Bibb County. For septic work that is a useful starting point, because Georgia issues septic construction permits through the county health department, and here the city and the county share the same lines on the map. The companies below have an address or a listed service area in Macon.

What the Macon listings show

This page lists thirteen companies for Macon. All thirteen have a Google rating. Dirty Greene's Sitework & Septic ranks first with a 4.9 rating from 58 reviews. We were able to read the websites of six of the thirteen. Among those, two describe installing systems for new construction, four mention repairing or replacing failing systems, three offer tank pumping and one mentions alternative systems. Two listings are service-area businesses that do not publish a street address.

Fall line ground around Macon

Macon sits near the fall line of the Ocmulgee River, the boundary where the hills of the Piedmont plateau meet the flat terrain of the coastal plain. Local geography summaries describe rolling hills on the north side of the city and flatter plains to the south, with the Ocmulgee running through town. That split is worth keeping in mind when you compare quotes. Two Macon lots can sit on very different ground, and a septic design depends on what the county finds on your own lot: how the soil absorbs water, how high the groundwater rises in the wet season and whether rock sits close to the surface.

Where these companies say they work

Four of the Macon companies list the areas they serve on their websites. Besides Macon, the places named by more than one of them are Fort Valley, Bonaire, Kathleen, Lizella, Warner Robins, Barnesville, Bolingbroke and Centerville. Each business page shows the areas that company names, so check that your property is covered before you call. Twelve of the thirteen publish hours on Google, including seven that show as open 24 hours a day, and eleven link to a company website. For more choices nearby, the Bibb County page lists one more company in the county that is not on a city page.

Questions worth asking in Macon

Only one of the six 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 six 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 six websites we could read mentions free estimates, so ask up front whether a site visit or quote carries a charge. 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 Macon installer

Have your property details ready: the address, the number of bedrooms, and any paperwork from an earlier permit or repair if you have it. Ask whether the company handles the permit application with the county health department or expects you to file it, and whether a soil report is already on file for the lot. If you are buying a home with an existing system, ask about an inspection before closing. Several Macon listings also describe pumping and repair work, so one call can often cover more than a new install. Check each business page for what that company's own website says it does.

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.
