Septic backing up? Call (803) 2-PUMP-IT · Tier 3 certified in SC, certified in GA · Serving the CSRA since 2009
Very few operators are properly licensed in South Carolina and certified in Georgia. We are, which means one contractor whichever side your property sits on.
Carolina Septic covers the CSRA on both sides of the Savannah River. On the South Carolina side that means Aiken, Edgefield and Barnwell counties, permitted through SCDES. On the Georgia side it means Richmond, Columbia, McDuffie and Burke counties, permitted through the county Board of Health under the East Central Health District. The two systems work completely differently, which is why being licensed in both matters.
Aiken, Edgefield and Barnwell counties. SCDES permitting.
Linked towns have their own page. Towns in gray are covered and scheduled for Phase 2. If you are not on this list, call anyway, we cover the CSRA counties and beyond.
South Carolina permits through a state agency. Georgia permits through your county Board of Health. There is no shared process.
Five years in South Carolina. Twelve months in Georgia. Same job, very different planning.
A Tier 3 installer may self-inspect in South Carolina. In Georgia the county inspects before backfill, every job.
The Fall Line runs northeast through Augusta, dividing Piedmont clay from Coastal Plain sand. Two lots a few miles apart can need genuinely different systems.
Georgia adds fifty percent tank capacity for a garbage grinder. South Carolina has no equivalent rule.
