Septic backing up? Call (803) 2-PUMP-IT · Tier 3 certified in SC, certified in GA · Serving the CSRA since 2009
Certified on the Georgia side, so a job in Richmond County is not somebody else’s problem. We handle the county health department process end to end.
Augusta sits in Richmond County, Georgia, where onsite sewage permits are issued by the county Board of Health through the East Central Health District rather than a state agency. Georgia construction permits are valid for twelve months, the health department has a twenty day decision window, and a county inspection is required before backfill on every installation. We are certified in Georgia as well as Tier 3 licensed in South Carolina.
Augusta permitting works nothing like the South Carolina side, and that trips people up constantly.
Richmond County falls under the East Central Health District, District 6, reachable at (706) 721-5800. There is no state ePermitting system like SCDES on this side. The application goes to the county.
A Georgia construction permit is valid for twelve months. In South Carolina it is five years. If your build slips, that difference is the thing that bites you.
Georgia requires a County Board of Health inspection before the system is covered. There is no self-inspection option here, unlike South Carolina where a Tier 3 installer may inspect their own work. Schedule accordingly.
The Fall Line runs northeast straight through Augusta, which means soil can shift from Piedmont clay to Coastal Plain sand across relatively short distances. Two lots a mile apart can need genuinely different systems.
Linked towns have their own page. The rest are covered and scheduled for Phase 2.
