Our story
Two trades, one truck, and a gap nobody else was filling
Perfect Service Plumbing and Septic is a small, locally owned operation run by a licensed septic technician serving the Chattanooga area and southeastern Tennessee. The description we put on our Google profile is the same one we would give you on the phone: fair, competitive prices, and free estimates.
The reason the business exists in this particular shape is simple. Most plumbing companies around here are plumbing-first. They will clear your drain and fix your water heater, and if the problem turns out to be your septic tank they hand you a phone number for someone else — who then has a two-week backlog.
Meanwhile, an enormous share of homes across Hamilton and Bradley County are not on city sewer at all. Drive out Snow Hill Road, Apison Pike, Georgetown Road, or the county roads around Birchwood and McDonald and nearly every property has its own tank and drain field.
Those homeowners were getting bounced between two trades for one problem. We are licensed on both sides, which means when we open a slow drain call and find a full tank, we just handle it.
That is the whole idea. Not a franchise, not a call center, not a membership plan you have to join before anyone looks at your house. One local shop that understands how the pipe under your sink connects to the system in your yard.

How we work
Four things we do the same way every time
Diagnose first
Camera the line before jetting it. Measure the sludge before pumping. Check the serial number before quoting a water heater. Almost every expensive septic mistake we get called to fix started with somebody guessing.
Price it in writing
You see a number before we start. It does not change when the truck is unloaded, and there is no diagnostic fee quietly folded into the quote.
Say when you do not need it
If we open a tank and the layers say you have two more years, that is what we tell you. It costs us an invoice. It is also the reason people call us back and send their neighbors.
Go where the work is
Birchwood, Sale Creek, Decatur, Jasper. Plenty of our calls start with "nobody else would come out this far." We schedule the rural counties in blocks so the drive works for everyone.
Credentials
Licensed, insured, and permitted properly
We are a licensed septic technician operating across southeastern Tennessee and north Georgia, and we carry insurance on every job. Both matter more in this trade than people realize — unlicensed septic work is not just a quality question, it is a permitting one, and it surfaces at the worst possible moment when a house sells.
Septic installation, replacement, and field repair all require approval from the state and the relevant county. So do water heater replacements and gas piping. We pull the permits and coordinate the inspections as part of the job rather than leaving the paperwork with you.
Permitting requirements differ between every county we work in, and again across the Georgia state line. We handle whichever process applies rather than leaving the paperwork with you.

Questions about who turns up
We do the work ourselves, with our own equipment. That is the whole reason the plumbing and septic sides sit under one roof here: most companies around Chattanooga are plumbing-first and hand septic off to a third party, which turns one problem into two schedules and two invoices. If a job ever needed a trade we do not hold — electrical on a pump panel, for instance — we would tell you that up front rather than quietly marking up somebody else’s work.
Ask for the license number and verify it yourself rather than taking a logo on a truck at face value. Tennessee licenses are searchable through the state, and Georgia work falls under Georgia requirements — the two are separate, so a contractor licensed in one is not automatically licensed in the other. Ask for a certificate of insurance too, sent directly from the insurer rather than a photo of a card. Anyone who hesitates at either request has told you something useful.
You call us and we come back. Nothing about that requires a form or a claim process. We would rather return once for free than have a repair we did become the reason somebody warns their neighbors off us — in a market this size, that arithmetic is not complicated. Parts carry whatever the manufacturer offers, and we tell you what that is at the estimate instead of after a failure.
The work costs what the work costs. What distance changes is scheduling rather than price — the close-in areas around Ooltewah, Collegedale, Apison and McDonald we reach the same day or the next, while the rural counties get grouped into scheduled runs so the drive makes sense for everyone. We say which of those your address falls into on the phone, before you have committed to anything.
Because licensed septic capability is genuinely scarce once you get past the metro edge, and a large share of our calls open with some version of "nobody else would come this far." Plumbing alone would not justify the drive. Septic does, and since we are on the property anyway, the plumbing inside the house gets handled on the same visit. That is the whole business model, and it is why the rural counties are routine for us rather than an exception.
Free estimate, honest answer
