Homeowners with septic tanks know this job is essential
Ahh…it’s a love vs. hate relationship… love to have one work but sure hate it when it don’t!
Here is the list of Georgia State Health Department approved septic system installers licensed by the state of Georgia. It is the responsibility of the appropriate county health department to monitor and approve the installation of the septic system, as well as retain a copy of the diagram of where the system was installed at any home in the county. This is important for any inspections during due diligence before purchasing, or after closing to perform landscaping near the lines or tank.
Here’s a good article – blog – website about the use and care of septic sewage systems:

If you are buying a home with a septic system, you may avoid municipal sewage charges (which normally amounts to $20-100/month), but you will need to care for the system including repair, pumping out, or replacing the tank, field lines or both.
Most costs now range from $4,000-10,000 to install new septic systems.
Monthly or other period application of septic aids that help disintegrate waste is helpful.
It is recommended to have your septic system checked and pumped every few years.
