How we do it

Our method, step by step

  1. Pit excavation sized for precast concrete or poly septic tanks
  2. A stable, level sand or gravel bed so the tank doesn't settle
  3. Tight piping connections with watertight riser collars
  4. Systematic backfilling with clean material and uniform compaction

What you get

Why it's worth doing right

  • Wastewater handling sized for your property's occupancy
  • Protection of groundwater and no surface contamination
  • Access risers for easy future pumping and inspection
  • Built with high-durability precast materials

Questions

Septic Tanks & Systems FAQ

Do you install both septic tanks and pipe laterals?

Yes. We handle the excavation, tank setting, pipe installation from house to tank, and connections to the distribution box.

Do you repair existing septic systems or only install new ones?

Both. We replace failing tanks and repair problems like collapsed baffles, as well as installing new systems.

Will the new tank be easy to service later?

Yes. We install access risers so future pumping and inspection are straightforward.
