Residential Septic System Design
Engineered Septic System Design & Installation
A properly designed septic system is the best way to ensure long-term performance and avoid costly issues related to poor design and installation.
Our engineered septic systems go beyond standard installations by designing around your site layout, property size, and soil conditions—providing custom solutions for each property.
Full Septic System Design Services
Our in-house septic system engineers handle every aspect of design, so you can have a seamless design and installation process under one roof. With expertise in wastewater treatment and local health departments, we create code-compliant systems tailored to your property.
1. Permitting & Local Regulation Experience
In addition to technical expertise, we have the knowledge and experience needed to ensure full compliance with county requirements. Our team works directly with local health departments to secure all permitting associated with your project, reducing delays and keeping your timeline on track.
2. Soil & Perc Testing
A successful septic system design starts with a thorough understanding of the soil. We conduct soil and percolation (perc) testing to determine absorption rates, identify drainage issues, and ensure your system is designed for efficiency long-term. The results of these tests will guide system selection and placement, reducing the risk of system failure and costly repairs.
3. Septic System Type
Every property is different, and choosing the right septic system is key to reliable wastewater management. Following the site inspection and soil testing, we evaluate the best system for your home. We design:
- Gravity-Fed Septic Systems
- Mound Septic Systems
- Sand Filter Septic Systems
- & More
4. Septic Tank Size & Material
The right septic tank size is crucial for efficiency and preventing system overload. We assess factors such as your household size, water usage, and local code requirements to determine the best tank capacity for your property. Proper sizing helps extend the lifespan of your system and minimizes maintenance needs.
5. Drain Field Design
We evaluate soil conditions, property layout, and water table levels to determine the best location for your drain field. Proper placement ensures wastewater disperses efficiently while avoiding issues like pooling, saturation, or contamination of nearby wells and water sources.
Engineered Septic Systems for Your Property
Traditional Gravity-Fed Septic Systems
Gravity-fed systems use the natural force of gravity to move wastewater from your home to your septic tank and drain field.
These systems work best with deep, well-draining soils like sandy or loamy areas without bedrock or high groundwater. Ideal for properties with well-draining soil and enough slope to allow proper flow without the need for pressure distribution systems.
Mound Septic Systems
Mound septic systems involve creating a raised sand and gravel mound to treat your wastewater.
Where traditional drain fields aren’t possible, like with high groundwater, shallow bedrock, or poorly draining soils, the raised sand/gravel mound provides the necessary filtration and absorption.
Recirculating Sand Filter Septic Systems
Sand filter septic systems filter the effluent through a sand layer before it is dispersed into the soil. These systems are perfect for clay-heavy areas, small lots, or areas with high groundwater.
