Soil, design, permit, install, approval
Five steps, one phone number. You don't chase the soil scientist, the engineer, the county & the excavator. We are all of them, or we bring them.
Soil profile analysis
Test pits on your lot. We read the soil layers, the restrictive layer & the water table. This report decides what the county will approve.
Design & permit
An engineered design sized to your home & your soil, submitted for the county or state permit. We answer the reviewer's questions, not you.
Install & final approval
Tank, treatment & absorption area set to the plan, inspected during the work & approved at the end. You get an approved system & the paperwork.
The ground picks the system
Septic tank & lateral field
The conventional system: a tank settles the solids, laterals let the water soak into the soil. Needs deep, well-drained ground. Fewer lots in the metro have it than you'd think.
Lagoon
A lined pond that treats wastewater with sun & air. Common on acreage with heavy clay where a field won't drain. Low maintenance when it's built right.
Drip & raised drip systems
Treated water is dosed through small drip lines just under the surface, or into a raised bed of imported soil when the native ground is too tight or too shallow. Our most common answer on hard lots.
Low-pressure pipe (LPP)
A pump doses a network of small pipes across the field in timed shots, so the whole field works instead of the first ten feet.
Aeration treatment units (ATUs)
A tank that adds air to treat the water to a higher standard before it goes to a smaller absorption area or a drip field. The right call where space or soil is short. Needs annual maintenance, which we do.

Do you do perc tests?
Yes. A soil profile analysis (also called a soil evaluation, soil morphology report or perc test) is the first step on every new system. It tells us what the ground will take & which system types the county will approve on your lot.
Do you pump septic tanks?
No. We design, install, repair, replace & maintain systems, & we'll tell you when a tank needs pumping, but we don't run a pump truck. We'll point you to a pumper we trust.
Which system will I need?
The soil decides. Deep, well-drained soil can take a conventional lateral field. Tight clay or a high water table usually means a lagoon, a drip or raised drip system, or an ATU with a smaller absorption area. We design to what your lot can handle, not to what's easiest to sell.
Who handles the permit & inspections?
We do. Soil report, engineered design, county or state permit, the installation inspection & the final approval. You end up with an inspected, approved system that's ready to use.
My lateral field is soggy. Is the whole system shot?
Not always. A failed field, a crushed line, a broken baffle or a bad distribution box each call for a different repair. We open it up, find the actual problem & quote the fix, & the replacement if it comes to that, so you can compare.
What does maintenance on an ATU or drip system include?
Pumps, floats, control panel, filters, spray or drip zones, the aerator & the tank. Maintenance contracts come with a report on your system after every inspection & cleaning, which most counties require on an ATU anyway.
