Baton Rouge Septic takes quote requests and arranges septic work; the installation, pumping, inspection and repair on your property are performed by independent, Louisiana-licensed septic contractors. We publish homeowner guides, cost information and service pages about septic issues for the Greater Baton Rouge area.
When work is booked through this website, your contract for that work is with the licensed contractor who performs it — not with Baton Rouge Septic.

The contractors are independent businesses that we do not employ, supervise, direct or control, and Baton Rouge Septic makes no warranty, express or implied, of its own regarding:
We are not liable for any act or omission of the contractor, or for any dispute between you and the contractor. Any warranty on materials or workmanship is set out in the written agreement for the work and comes from the contractor.

If sewage is entering your home, if there is standing effluent in the yard where children or pets can reach it, or if you smell sewer gas indoors, treat the situation as urgent. Ventilate the area, keep people and pets away from any surface effluent, and call (225) 325-0340 and say it is urgent so the first available licensed professional comes out. For threats to life or property, call 911.
