Dead serious about septic

How we work

You tell us what your system is doing. We get you scheduled, usually same week and same day where we can, and you get a quote before anybody puts a shovel in the ground. Emergencies move to the front of the line, because a backup gets worse by the hour.

Every job runs under an Alabama-licensed septic contractor. You can look up any Alabama septic licensee yourself through the Alabama Onsite Wastewater Board’s public roster, and we would rather you did.

Why we publish the permit stuff

Most septic sites will not tell you what your county actually requires, so people call the wrong health department branch, wait two weeks, and start over. We publish the offices, the phone numbers, the form numbers, and the things each county leaves off its own website.

Regulatory details come from the Alabama Department of Public Health, the Alabama Onsite Wastewater Board, and the county health departments. Maintenance and failure guidance comes from the US EPA. Every page lists its sources with the date each was checked. Where a county does not publish something, we say so instead of guessing.

Who runs this

Pumpin’ Possum is an independently operated septic referral service covering North and Central Alabama. We are not owned by, affiliated with, or funded by any septic contractor, which is why nobody gets recommended here for paying us to be.
