Our Story

Rick's Septic of Chattanooga has been serving Hamilton County since 1992. More than 30 years later, we're still the same kind of company we started out as: family-owned, owner-operated, and focused on taking care of our neighbors' septic systems the right way.


A lot has changed in three decades, but the way we work hasn't. We answer our own phone, the owners personally handle every repair and installation, and we tell every customer the truth about their system, even when the honest answer is a smaller job.
