Before you call a Rome installer
Hilly ground and river bottoms can call for different septic designs, and Georgia's rules require the county to inspect soil, groundwater and rock before it issues a permit. Have the address and bedroom count ready, and ask whether the company handles the Floyd County permit. Floyd 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.
