Septic permits and design, explained
What happens between deciding you need a septic system and having one installed.
1 min readEngineered Septics
Installing a new septic system is more than digging a hole. The process protects your property, your neighbors and local water.
1. Site and soil evaluation
How well your soil absorbs water, how high the groundwater is and how your lot is laid out all decide what kind of system will work.
2. Engineered design
The design sizes the system for your household and fits it to your lot. A design made for your property is far more reliable than a copied one.
3. Permit approval
Septic systems are regulated locally. Your design and paperwork go to the local authority for approval before work starts.
4. Installation and inspection
The system is built to the approved plan and inspected before it goes into service.
