A septic system is one of the most important investments in your property. We specialize in the heavy lifting—from digging the tank hole to preparing the drain field and mounded systems.

Our Working Process

Planning & Site Layout

We work with your septic design to mark the site, ensuring all setbacks and environmental requirements are strictly followed before we break ground.

System Installation

Our team handles the heavy lifting—digging the tank pit, laying the lines, and building the drain field or mound with precision and care.

Backfilling & Final Grade

Once the system is inspected and approved, we backfill the site and perform a final grade to ensure water sheds away from the system and the area is ready for landscaping.

Frequently asked questions

What type of septic system do I need for my property?
This depends on your soil type and water table. A licensed designer will perform a "perc test" to determine if you need a standard gravity system, a pressure distribution system, or a mound system.
Do you handle septic system replacements for older homes?
Yes. If your current system is failing or no longer meets modern codes, we can excavate and remove the old components and install a new, compliant system.
How long does the installation process take?
A typical septic system installation takes between 3 to 5 days, depending on the complexity of the design and the weather conditions.
