From emergency pump alarms to full system replacements, alternative-system installs, repairs, and $299 homebuyer inspections — SepticRooter™ is Chattanooga & Southeast Tennessee's trusted septic company.
We respond fast · No obligation · Licensed experts
Our ServicesWhether your system is failing, your alarm is going off, you need a repair, or you’re buying a home — SepticRooter™ has the licensing and expertise to handle it.
Failing drain field or an aging system beyond repair? We replace complete septic systems across Chattanooga — all permits pulled, county inspection guaranteed, upfront pricing before we dig.
Red light flashing? Buzzer going off? A pump alarm is an emergency — back-up or flooding can follow fast. We respond quickly across Chattanooga and route the issue to the right septic technician.
Pumping won't fix the most common problems. We diagnose the real issue — clogs, roots, deteriorated pipes, crushed distribution boxes, failed pumps, broken drain fields — and fix only what needs fixing.
Before you pay $500–$800 for a pump-out, get a free diagnosis. Backing drains, odors, and wet spots are usually a system problem — not just a full tank. We locate, excavate, and tell you what's really wrong.
The worst time for a septic inspection is after closing. We pull county records, document everything on video, and deliver a detailed report so you know exactly what you're buying.
A difficult lot that won't pass a conventional perc test? We design and install engineered alternative septic systems — including the Eljen GSF — built for Georgia's challenging soils and tight sites.
“I was looking for quotes to move some drain lines for our pool installation. In preparation for his visit Josh pulled my original septic permit and thank goodness he did. He was immediately able to determine that the septic diagram I had paid several hundred dollars for was completely wrong! I was skeptical, but he probed all the lines and proved to me exactly where the drain field was. His great work saved me over $16k of unneeded work and a huge mess in my yard. I can't say enough about the knowledge and professionalism Josh exhibited during his visit. Don't take a chance of getting scammed or overcharged like I had, call these guys and trust you're getting a great service at a fair price.”
“Found these guys after being upsold by a previous septic company and they were first class. Actively turned down work as told me it wasn't required and would be a waste of money. Ran into some problems locating the tanks in proximity to the power and came back multiple times even meeting the power company onsite to resolve and then quickly finished the install. I would definitely recommend and will be using again in the future, and it's encouraging to know there are reputable contractors out there who do right by the customer.”
“Beth and the team at SepticRooter were outstanding! So informative they helped us find a solution for our new home in GA that was affordable and would take care of us and our septic tank. They did everything they said they would with the highest level of service! They are our new go to Septic Co and would refer to anyone!”
“Rob from SepticRooter gave me a free estimate and educated me on what was needed to service my septic tank. Him and his staff are kind and super easy to work with. I really do appreciate the fact he was so personable in what could've been a very anxious situation. I couldn't thank him enough!”
