Our family-run business specializes in compact, eco-friendly septic solutions designed for the unique needs of tiny homes, ensuring compliance with Georgia regulations and seamless integration with your minimalist lifestyle.
Why Septic Systems Matter for Tiny Homes
Tiny homes, with their small footprint and low wastewater output, require septic systems that maximize efficiency in limited spaces. In Atlanta’s clay-heavy soils and affluent neighborhoods, proper system design is critical to avoid backups, ensure environmental safety, and comply with local health department standards. Septic Tank Guru offers tailored solutions, from compact tanks to advanced treatment units, backed by our innovative IoT monitoring for real-time system health, making us the ideal choice for tiny home owners in Metro Atlanta.
Step 1: Soil Testing & Site Evaluation
Before we begin, your property must pass a soil percolation test to determine how well it can absorb and filter wastewater. Here’s what we do:
- Conduct a professional percolation (perc) test, essential for tiny homes in areas like Milton or Sandy Springs.
- Evaluate site conditions, including property layout and space constraints, to design a compact system.
- Provide a detailed report to support your permit application, ensuring compliance with Georgia health department standards.
Without this test, installing a septic system is not legally permitted, making it a critical first step.
Step 2: Septic Design & Permitting
Once your soil is approved, our team will:
- Design a septic system customized for your tiny home, factoring in low water usage and small lot sizes common in affluent Atlanta neighborhoods like Buckhead or Johns Creek.
- Prepare all documentation and submit permit applications, coordinating with local health departments for approval in Fulton, Gwinnett, or Cobb counties.
- Handle all the red tape, ensuring a smooth process so you can focus on your tiny home project.
We make this step efficient, leveraging our local expertise to meet Georgia’s strict codes.
Step 3: Installation of Septic Tank & Drainfield
Our licensed installers will then:
- Excavate the site and install a septic tank and drainfield specifically sized for tiny homes, using equipment suited for tight or off-grid locations in areas like Alpharetta or South Fulton.
- Ensure the system is tested and meets local health regulations, with a focus on minimal disruption to your property’s landscape.
- Specialize in systems designed for lower water usage, typical in tiny homes, ensuring long-term reliability.
We use durable materials and precision techniques to integrate seamlessly with your tiny home setup.
Tiny Home Septic System Sizing & Requirements
We provide a range of septic systems to suit your tiny home’s needs, each designed for efficiency, sustainability, and compliance with Georgia’s regulations:
Here’s what we take into account to size your system:
- Number of occupants and their wastewater output, often lower for tiny homes.
- Type of plumbing fixtures, such as water-saving toilets and showers.
- Location of the home (permanent foundation or mobile), affecting system flexibility, especially in Fayetteville or McDonough.
- Local health department codes and setbacks, ensuring compliance in Metro Atlanta.
Typical systems for tiny homes range from 500 to 1,000-gallon tanks with compact or alternative drainfield designs, tailored to your lot’s constraints.
