Georgia City Directory
Newnan is the county seat of Coweta County, southwest of Atlanta. Established as the county seat in the early nineteenth century, it came through the Civil War largely untouched as a hospital city, and it still has a great deal of antebellum architecture. Septic permits for lots in and around Newnan come from the Coweta 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 six companies for Newnan. All six have a Google rating. Remedy Septic Solutions ranks first with a 5.0 rating from 383 reviews. We were able to read the websites of four of the six. Among those, four describe installing systems for new construction, four mention repairing or replacing failing systems, three offer tank pumping and three mention alternative systems.
Newnan sits in the center of Coweta County, with Interstate 85 on its eastern side and U.S. routes leading out toward Palmetto, Moreland and Carrollton. Homes range from historic in-town houses to newer subdivisions and rural lots in the county. For septic work, the age and setting of the home matter: older systems may need inspection or repair, while new lots need a construction permit before building starts. Georgia's rules tie that permit to a county site inspection of soil, groundwater and rock.
Three of the Newnan companies list the areas they serve on their websites. Besides Newnan, the places named by more than one of them are Tyrone. Each business page shows the areas that company names, so check that your property is covered before you call. Four of the six publish hours on Google, and five link to a company website.
Only one of the four websites we could read mentions free estimates, so ask up front whether a site visit or quote carries a charge. Only one of the four websites we could read mentions financing, so ask about payment options if you need to spread the cost. Only two of the four websites we could read mention 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.
Have the address, the bedroom count and any older permit paperwork ready. Ask the company whether it files the Coweta County permit, who handles the soil evaluation and whether it offers inspections for a home sale. The business pages show what each Newnan listing says about its services on its own website, and the Senoia city page lists more companies in Coweta County.
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.
