Disclaimer

General information only

The articles, guides and cost figures on this website are general information about septic systems in Cleveland and Bradley County, Tennessee. They are not a substitute for an on-site inspection of your system.

Prices are estimates

Price ranges on this site are typical for our area and are based on common tank sizes and conditions. Your actual price is confirmed before any work begins and may differ from the ranges shown.

Rules and permits

Septic rules in Tennessee are set by the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC) and, in Hamilton County, the Hamilton County Groundwater office. We do our best to keep this site accurate, but rules and fees can change. Always confirm current requirements with the permitting office before you rely on them for a purchase, sale or construction project.

Health and safety

Raw sewage carries germs that can make people and pets sick, and septic tanks give off gases that can be deadly. Never open, enter or lean into a septic tank. If sewage is backing up into your home, stop using water, keep children and pets away and call a professional.

Example scenarios

Case examples on this website are example scenarios that describe typical septic problems in our area. They are not customer reviews or testimonials.
