Septic Tank Installation in Chattanooga & North Georgia
Septic Systems Designed for Your Property
A septic system has to be designed for your household and your land. Tank size, system type and drain field layout all depend on the number of bedrooms, the soil and the site, and our region's clay soils and rock make proper design especially important.
Metro installs new septic tanks for new construction and replaces failing tanks for existing homes. Sometimes a cracked tank or failed baffles can be replaced while the drain field stays in service; other times a complete new system is the right answer. We evaluate your situation and explain the options.
Septic installation typically involves permits and soil evaluation through the local health department. We plan the project, explain the process and give you an upfront price before work begins, with financing available for qualified customers.

What Affects the Cost of Septic Tank Installation?
Septic installation cost depends on the tank size required for your household, the system type your soil and site allow, excavation conditions including rock, the distance from the house, and permitting and soil evaluation requirements. Replacing a tank while keeping a healthy drain field costs less than a complete new system.
We explain every factor and give you an upfront price before work begins, with financing available for qualified customers.

Expert Tip From Metro's Master-Certified Team
Keep Your Installation Records
Once a new system is installed, have it pumped and checked within the first few years to establish a baseline. Keep the installation records, permit and site drawing with your home documents; they're valuable for maintenance and when you sell.
