How this site works

The whole model, explained the way we'd want it explained to us.

What is Maury Septic, and what does it cost?

It's a free resource for Maury County property owners: septic guides sourced from TDEC rules, plus an estimate form that connects you with a TDEC-permitted local installer when a company is available to take the job. We're not TDEC, the county, or a septic company. Requesting an estimate costs nothing and commits you to nothing.

What happens after you submit the form?

1
You tell us about the job
Thirty seconds in the form: what you need (install, replacement, repair, aerobic service), where the property is, and how to reach you. No account, no payment info.
2
We look for a fit
We offer the request to a TDEC-permitted installer that serves your area and handles your job type, if one is available. It's never posted publicly.
3
An installer may accept
If an installer accepts, expect questions about the property and usually a site visit before a firm price. A number given sight unseen is only a starting point, and a response isn't guaranteed.
4
You discuss scope and decide
Ask for a written estimate tied to your TDEC permit. Then hire them, get more bids, or walk away. Any work agreement is between you and the installer.

What should you expect from an introduction?

Only TDEC-permitted installers

We only pass a request to a company holding a current TDEC permit for that kind of work, and only to one company at a time.

Verify it yourself

Don't take our word for it. Any installer can be looked up on TDEC's active list before you sign, and we'd rather you did.

Your request stays private

Requests are never posted to a public lead list or sold to data brokers. The privacy policy explains every recipient category.

Why is there no phone number on this site?

We don't do septic work, so a phone line here would just be one more stop before you reach someone who does. The form records your project details for review. If a suitable company accepts it, that installer calls you directly.

If your situation is urgent, sewage backing up or an alarm sounding, start with our septic repair page: it covers what to do right now while help is on the way.

What does Maury Septic promise?

Licensed only

Requests are offered only to installers whose applicable state permit is verified.

Sources cited

Regulatory claims link to their source at the point where they matter, whether that is a TDEC page, the Tennessee rule text, a county plan, or EPA guidance. Our standards live on the about page.

Private requests

Your request goes through a private routing service and, if accepted, to an installer. It is not posted to a public list. Details are in the privacy policy.

What do property owners ask about the service?

Is Maury Septic free to use?

Yes. Reading the guides is free and requesting an estimate is free, with no obligation to hire anyone. The licensed companies who receive requests may pay us for the introduction, which is how the site sustains itself. You never pay us anything.

Who contacts me after I submit the form?

If a TDEC-permitted installer accepts the request, that company contacts you directly. Timing depends on where the property is, the job type, and how busy installers are, so we can't guarantee a response. Before hiring, look the installer up in TDEC's current list and ask for insurance and a written scope.

Do I have to hire the installer who contacts me?

No. Submitting a request is free and does not commit you to hiring anyone. Ask the provider about any site-visit, inspection, soil, or design charges before booking those services. Compare written bids before deciding.

What happens to my information?

Your request goes through our form provider and, if accepted, to one installer. It's never posted to a public lead list or sold to data brokers. The privacy policy spells out who sees your details, how long we keep them (up to 24 months), and how to get them deleted.
