About this site
How this site works
Short version: this is an independent referral website, not a septic company. When you call the number on this site, your call is forwarded to an independent local septic company that does the actual work. Here is the whole arrangement, plainly stated.
What this site is
Septic System Repair Chattanooga is a privately run local guide to septic repair in Chattanooga, Hamilton County, and the nearby North Georgia counties. We built it because septic information for this area is scattered across state rule chapters, county offices, and contractor sites that all want to sell you something. We collect the verifiable facts in one place and connect callers with independent local septic companies that show up.
What happens when you call
- The phone number on this site is a tracking number. Calling it costs you nothing beyond your normal phone rates.
- Your call rings through to an independent local septic company: a real company in this market, not a national call center. When more than one company takes calls from this site, calls are routed among them in turn.
- The company that answers handles everything from there: scheduling, the site visit, the quote, the work, and the billing. We are not involved in any of it.
How we make money
Companies receiving these calls may pay us a referral fee for operating this site and routing inquiries to them. That is the entire business model. You never pay us anything, and each company's prices are theirs to set; we have no markup on the work.
What we are not
- We are not a septic contractor. We don't have crews, trucks, or licenses, and we never claim to.
- We don't post reviews or testimonials. Any review you read about a company this site routes calls to should come from a source we don't control.
- We don't run a Google Business Profile or list a storefront address, because we don't have one.
- We don't quote prices on the phone or guarantee what any job will cost. Cost figures on this site are researched ranges with sources, not quotes.
Our content standard
Every local claim on this site (soil types, permit rules, fees, rainfall, growth patterns) is checked against a primary source before it goes up, and most pages list their sources at the bottom. If we couldn't verify something, it isn't on the site. If you find an error, use the contact form and we will fix it.
Checking the company yourself
You should verify any septic contractor you hire, including one this site connects you with. On the Tennessee side, ask for the company's TDEC installer permit; on the Georgia side, ask for its Georgia DPH certification. Confirm either with the issuing office, and get the permit paperwork in writing before ground is broken.
