What the Ringgold listings show
This page lists six companies for Ringgold. All six have a Google rating. Flush Fellas Septic and Excavating ranks first with a 4.8 rating from 71 reviews. We were able to read the websites of two of the six. Among those, one describes installing systems for new construction, one mentions repairing or replacing failing systems, two offer tank pumping and none mention alternative systems. One listing is a service-area business that does not publish a street address.
Valley and Ridge country
Ringgold sits in the Valley and Ridge province of the Appalachians, a landscape of long ridges separated by valleys, formed as alternating layers of hard and soft rock eroded over time. Taylor Ridge runs through Ringgold, and South Chickamauga Creek, a tributary of the Tennessee River, runs through the city. In country like this, how deep the soil runs and where rock begins can vary across a single property, which is why Georgia's permit process requires the county to look at soil, groundwater and rock before a system is approved.
Where these companies say they work
Two of the Ringgold companies list the areas they serve on their websites, 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 four that show as open 24 hours a day, and two link to a company website. For more choices nearby, the Catoosa County page lists one more company in the county that is not on a city page.
Questions worth asking in Ringgold
None 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. 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. Only one of the two websites we could read mentions septic inspections, so if you are buying or selling a home, ask whether the company inspects existing systems. 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 Ringgold installer
Because Ringgold is close to the Tennessee line, confirm that the company works in Georgia and holds the certification Georgia requires; certified in another state does not mean certified here, according to Georgia's public health department. Have the address and bedroom count ready, and ask whether the company handles the Catoosa County permit and soil evaluation. Catoosa 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.
