One company from survey to startup
Installing a septic system typically involves coordinating a site evaluator, a designer, the permitting office and an installer. We handle each of those steps in-house. Our engineers design the system and our licensed crews install it, so the design and the installation match and your questions are answered by one team.
This approach is especially valuable on challenging sites, such as small lots, heavy clay soil or commercial buildings, where the system must be built exactly as designed.

Questions about septic and aerobic installation
Do I need an aerobic system or a conventional system?
The answer depends primarily on the soil and the size of the lot. Much of East Harris County has dense clay soil that drains slowly, which often rules out a conventional drain field and makes an aerobic system with spray irrigation the better choice. The soil evaluation determines which options are suitable for your property.
Is a permit required?
Yes. New and replacement septic systems in Texas require a permit from the local permitting authority before installation. We prepare and submit the application for you.
How long does installation take?
The installation itself is typically the shortest part of the process; permit review usually takes longer. We provide a schedule with your quote.
Do you install commercial systems?
Yes. Commercial systems are sized for the building’s actual wastewater flow. Our engineers complete the sizing and permitting, and our crew performs the installation.
How much does a new system cost?
Cost depends on the type of system, the soil conditions and the size of the building. We provide a written quote after the site visit.
