Tier 3 certified in South Carolina and Georgia, which means we can legally handle the jobs most septic contractors can't touch. Family run out of North Augusta since 2009, working both sides of the river.
Tell us what it's doing and we'll get a truck out. Most pumping and repair calls we can schedule the same week, sooner if it's an emergency.
We handle the whole thing, from soil evaluation and permitting through final inspection. Including engineered systems on lots a conventional field won't fit.
South Carolina tiers septic installer licenses by law. It isn't a marketing badge. It decides what a contractor is legally allowed to put in your ground.
Can install standard gravity-fed residential systems. Cannot legally repair an existing system at all.
Pumps, grease traps, curtain drains, mounded and commercial systems. May repair. Cannot touch a Standard 610 engineered design.
All of the above plus Standard 610 engineered systems. Requires years of clean installation history plus proof of insurance and bond at every renewal.
Why it matters here: the Fall Line runs right through Augusta. North and west of it you're in Piedmont clay, and South Carolina classes some of those soils as unsuitable for a conventional system. Clay, small lots and a high water table are exactly what push a job to an engineered design. If your property is one of them, we're one of the few contractors in the CSRA legally able to install what it needs.

Learn more →Clay soil, a high water table, or not enough room for a standard drainfield. If your lot was turned down, this is usually the answer, and only a Tier 3 installer can legally put one in.
Learn more →Routine pumping and sewage pump-outs for homes, businesses and new developments. We pump the full tank, check what's going on inside it, and leave you a written record with the date.
Learn more →Pumping a tank that keeps filling up isn't a repair, it's a subscription. We find what's actually wrong and fix that instead.
Learn more →The drainfield is the part of a septic system that actually fails, and it's the expensive part. We'll tell you honestly whether yours can be saved or needs replacing.
Learn more →Buying or selling a home on septic? We give you an honest, thorough evaluation and a written report your lender and closing attorney will accept, on either side of the river.
Learn more →Scheduled service, proper disposal, and the paperwork you need when the health inspector asks. We work around your service hours, not ours.
Learn more →When lines slow down or back up, high-pressure jetting clears them properly and restores full flow, without digging up your yard.
Learn more →From single-family homes to large-scale developments. Bigger tanks, bigger tickets, tighter deadlines. We're licensed for the work and we understand what a schedule slip costs you.

Every septic job is different, and anyone who quotes you over the phone without seeing the property is guessing. But you deserve a real range before you pick up the phone, so here's ours.
Moves with tank size, how long since the last service, and how hard the lid is to reach.
Real estate inspections run higher than a routine check because of the written report.
Driven by soil type, field size required, access for equipment, and the permit path.
Conventional gravity systems sit at the low end. Engineered designs cost more and take longer.
One thing worth knowing: national cost websites list septic permits at $450 to $2,300. In South Carolina, the site evaluation fee set by regulation is $150. We handle the SCDES application for you and we don't mark up the state's fee. See the full cost breakdown
