Is It Time for a New Septic System?
A new septic system is required in two main situations: for new properties without access to a municipal sewer, or when an existing system has failed. A failing system is a serious issue that requires immediate attention.
Signs of a Failing Septic System:
Advanced Age: Most conventional systems have a lifespan of 25-40 years. If your system is approaching this age, it may be nearing the end of its functional life.
Persistent Sewer Odors: Foul odors in your yard or near drains are a primary indicator of a problem.
Soggy Areas in the Yard: Unexplained wet spots or unusually lush, green grass over the drain field can signal that wastewater is surfacing.
Plumbing Backups: Frequent backups in multiple drains throughout the house are a common symptom of a saturated drain field or a full septic tank.
Contaminated Well Water: If you have a private well, regular testing can reveal contamination from a nearby failing system.
What Our Customers Say!
Our Comprehensive Installation Process: From Start to Finish
We provide end-to-end project management to ensure your septic system installation is a seamless, stress-free experience.
- Site Evaluation & Soil Testing The process begins with a thorough evaluation of your property. We perform percolation (“perc”) tests to measure your soil’s ability to absorb water. This crucial test, along with site topography and property lines, determines the type, size, and location of the system required by local health codes.
- System Design & Permitting Using the data from our site evaluation, we design a custom septic system tailored to your household’s needs and property’s specific conditions. We then create and submit all necessary plans and documentation to the local environmental health department to secure the required permits.
- Professional Excavation & Installation Our experienced crew carefully excavates the land for the tank and the drain field (or leach field). We expertly install all components, including the tank, baffles, and piping, ensuring the correct grade and assembly for reliable, long-term operation.
- Final Inspection & Connection We coordinate with the local health inspector for a final review and approval of the installed system before it is buried. Once the system passes inspection, we connect it to your home’s main sewer line, complete the backfilling and final grading, and provide you with all the necessary documentation.

Frequently Asked Questions About Septic Installation
Here are answers to some common questions we receive. If you don’t see your question here, feel free to call us anytime!How long does a new septic system last?
With proper design, installation, and regular maintenance (such as routine tank pumping), a conventional septic system can last for 25 to 40 years or more. The longevity depends heavily on soil conditions, household usage, and adherence to maintenance schedules.
How much does a new septic system installation cost?
The cost varies significantly based on several factors, including your property’s soil conditions, the size of the system required (determined by the number of bedrooms), the type of system (conventional vs. alternative), and local permit fees. We provide a detailed, transparent estimate after a thorough site evaluation.
What is the difference between a conventional and an alternative septic system?
A conventional system uses a septic tank and a gravel drain field to treat wastewater, relying on well-draining soil. Alternative systems are used for properties with poor soil, high water tables, or small lots. These engineered systems, like aerobic treatment units (ATUs) or mound systems, provide a higher level of treatment before discharging the water. We are certified to install both types.
How do I maintain my new septic system?
Proper maintenance is simple but crucial. The most important tasks are to have the septic tank pumped by a professional every 3-5 years, be mindful of what you flush (avoid grease, chemicals, and non-biodegradable items), and conserve water to avoid overloading the drain field.
